FitAll 50 ft Heavy Duty Commercial Vacuum Cord - 18/3 SJT, Black
Cords are the highest-wear part on any commercial vacuum. They get dragged across door thresholds, rolled over by carts, yanked out of receptacles by the cord instead of the plug, and eventually one of those insults cuts through the jacket. This 50 ft FitAll replacement is the heavy duty 18/3 SJT cord that repair shops and in-house maintenance techs keep on the shelf to put a machine straight back into rotation.
Built for
- Commercial upright and canister vacuums in daily service
- Janitorial contractors and building services departments
- In-house maintenance shops maintaining a machine fleet
- Vacuum repair shops doing customer cord replacements
- Machines where the original cord is cut, crushed or has a failing plug
Use cases
Getting a downed machine back on the floor. A cut cord is not a reason to retire a commercial vacuum that is otherwise sound. The motor, brushroll and housing on a commercial upright are built for years of service, and the cord is simply the consumable that wears out first. Replacing it is a short bench job that returns the full remaining life of the machine.
Covering ground without chasing receptacles. Fifty feet lets a crew work a full corridor, a bank of classrooms or an open office bay from a single outlet. Beyond the obvious time saved walking, fewer plug cycles means less wear on the plug blades and the receptacle, which is a real contributor to cord failure in high-traffic facilities.
Standing up to daily abuse. The SJT thermoplastic jacket is the hard-usage rating for portable indoor cords, chosen for abrasion resistance and for staying flexible when it gets dragged and coiled several times a shift. The black jacket is the low-visibility choice where a bright cord would be conspicuous, such as in front-of-house or hospitality spaces.

Frequently asked questions
Will this cord work on my vacuum?
It is a universal-style replacement, not a model-specific part. It suits most commercial machines that use a 3-wire grounded cord landing on a terminal block or spade connectors behind an access panel. Confirm your machine is 3-wire grounded rather than 2-wire before ordering.
What is the difference between this and the yellow version?
Electrically they are the same cord. Black is chosen where a discreet cord is preferred; yellow is chosen for high visibility to reduce trip hazards in corridors and public areas.
What does SJT mean?
SJT is a jacket rating for a junior service thermoplastic flexible cord rated for hard usage indoors. It is the standard specification for commercial vacuum cords and is chosen for abrasion resistance and flexibility.
Is this a job I can do myself?
On most commercial machines the cord terminates behind a panel with a strain relief clamp, and it is routine work for a maintenance technician. It is line-voltage wiring, so unplug the machine first and have a qualified technician do it if you are not confident with electrical repairs.
When should a cord be replaced instead of repaired?
Replace it any time the jacket is cut deeply enough to expose the conductors, any time the cord has been crushed or melted, if the plug is loose or warms in use, or if power flickers when the cord is flexed. Taping over damaged insulation is not a repair.
