This is a genuine Sandia 1-1/2 inch black vacuum hose in a 4-foot length, supplied cuffed at both ends with the 10-0196 and 10-0155 cuffs for auto fill and dump service. Four feet is the working length for equipment that travels with the operator or sits right beside the work - short enough that the hose is not underfoot, long enough to reach without fighting the machine.
Vacuum hose is a wear item on any backpack or extractor, and it fails in ways that are easy to miss. A hose that has been stepped on, run over by a cart, or dragged around door frames for a season develops flat spots and pinhole splits. The machine still runs and the operator still hears suction at the motor, but airflow at the tool has dropped, and the crew ends up making two passes where one used to do. Sandia is direct about this: do not use the vacuum if any hose is damaged, cut, or punctured.
Built for
- Backpack vacuum operators replacing a hose that has flattened or split at the cuff.
- Auto fill and dump connections where the source or drain is close at hand.
- Fleet shops keeping a ready-to-fit short hose on the shelf for same-day repairs.
- Crews on stairs and tight routes where a long hose is more hazard than help.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know when a vacuum hose needs replacing?
Run the machine and pinch the hose closed at the tool end. If suction does not build sharply, air is getting in somewhere along the length. Then flex the hose section by section and look for flat spots, splits at the cuffs, and pinholes. Any cut or puncture means the hose should be taken out of service.
Does hose length affect suction?
Yes. Every additional foot of hose adds resistance, so a long hose trades some airflow at the tool for reach. Use the shortest length that covers the work: a short hose for a backpack worn on the operator, a long one only where the machine has to stay put while the operator moves.
Why buy genuine Sandia hose instead of generic hose?
Cuff fit. Generic hose in a nominal 1-1/2 inch size often will not seat tightly on Sandia cuffs and tools, and a loose joint leaks air at exactly the point where you need airflow. Genuine hose is cut and sized to the same specification as the original.
What are the two cuffs on this hose?
It ships with the Sandia 10-0196 and 10-0155 cuffs already fitted, the pairing Sandia specifies for auto fill and dump use. Both ends are finished, so it goes into service without extra hardware.
Is a 4-foot hose long enough?
For equipment the operator wears or works right beside, yes, and the short length is an advantage: less hose to drag, fewer snag points on stairs, and less airflow lost to hose resistance. If you need to leave the machine parked and walk away from it, order a longer run instead.
