In a hospital, a clinic or a nursing home, the outlet the housekeeper is allowed to use is often not the one nearest the work. Corridor receptacles are spoken for, patient room circuits are off limits, and the cleaning crew ends up plugging in at the far end of a wing. A 75-foot cord covers that ground on one plug instead of three, which means fewer trips back to unplug and re-plug and a lot less time lost per shift. This ProTeam cord assembly is the long orange version with an integrated cord wrap and a hospital grade plug.
Built for
- Hospitals, surgery centers, clinics and long-term care, where a hospital grade plug is often specified by facility policy
- Long corridors, wings and open floor plates with widely spaced outlets
- Backpack vacuum crews who cover a whole floor before moving the plug
- Building service contractors replacing a cut, cracked or taped-up cord on a machine in service
What the hospital grade plug means
A hospital grade plug is not a marketing label. It is a listed construction with heavier blade retention, stronger strain relief and firmer contact in the receptacle, marked with a green dot on the plug body. It is built to resist being pulled loose, and to keep making solid contact after being unplugged and replugged thousands of times, which is exactly the duty a housekeeping cord sees. Many healthcare facilities require it on portable equipment, so a standard replacement cord can quietly put a machine out of compliance on a walkthrough.
Why a 16/3 cord and not a lighter one
Gauge decides how much voltage is left at the machine at the end of the run. Undersized cord at 75 feet drops voltage, which makes a vacuum motor run hotter and shortens its life. The 16/3 SJT construction is the standard for a cord of this length on this type of machine: three conductors including ground, with a thermoplastic jacket rated for hard service. The bright orange jacket also does real work, making the run visible in a corridor so it does not become a trip hazard or get caught under a cart wheel.

Fits
Cord assemblies are matched to a machine by connector and by the way the cord attaches. Check your vacuum model before ordering and contact us if you need help confirming the right cord for your unit.
Frequently asked questions
How long is this cord?
Seventy-five feet, which lets a crew cover a long corridor or a full wing from a single outlet instead of moving the plug several times.
What makes a plug hospital grade?
It is a listed construction with heavier blade retention, stronger strain relief and firmer contact in the receptacle, identified by a green dot on the plug. Many healthcare facilities require it on portable equipment.
Why 16/3 instead of a lighter cord?
Wire gauge determines how much voltage reaches the machine over a long run. A cord that is too light drops voltage, which makes the vacuum motor run hotter and shortens its life. The 16/3 SJT construction is the standard for a cord of this length.
What is the cord wrap for?
It gives the operator a fixed place to coil the cord on the machine, which keeps a 75-foot run off the floor between rooms and stops the cord from being dragged, kinked and eventually cut.
Will this fit my ProTeam vacuum?
Cords are matched by connector and attachment method. Check the model number of your machine before ordering, and contact us if you need help confirming the right cord.
