A vacuum hose that collapses under suction turns a good machine into a bad one. This Fitall Super Vac-U-Flex hose is 50 feet of reinforced 1-1/4 inch flexible hose built on a coated spring-steel wire helix bonded into a fiber-reinforced PVC wall, so it holds its round shape while the vacuum is pulling instead of flattening at the first bend. Central vacuum installers and maintenance techs buy it as bulk stock to replace a cracked built-in hose run or to build a longer reach than a factory hose allows.
Built for
- Central vacuum system repairs where the original hose has cracked, kinked, or lost suction
- Long-reach commercial vacuum setups that need more than a standard 30 or 35 foot hose
- Shop and industrial dust pickup where the hose gets dragged, stepped on, and bent hard
- Vac-and-blow stations and fixed suction drops in unconditioned mechanical rooms
- Repair shops that want one 50-foot roll on the shelf instead of several fixed lengths
The 50-foot length is the point. Cut it to the run you actually need and you can serve several jobs off a single roll, or run one uninterrupted length instead of splicing couplings into the middle of a hose, where leaks and clogs start. The beige jacket makes it easy to see when a blockage is sitting inside the hose, which is a small thing until you are chasing a suction problem on a Friday afternoon.
Rated for a working range of -20 degrees F to 150 degrees F, the Super Vac-U-Flex construction is comfortable in a garage, an attic run, or an unheated mechanical room where ordinary vinyl hose goes stiff and splits over a winter. Replace a hose when you can see hairline cracks, when a kink will no longer straighten out, or when suction at the tool has dropped without a blockage to explain it.

Frequently asked questions
Will this fit my central vacuum system?
It is universal 1-1/4 inch inside diameter hose stock and works with central vacuum and commercial vacuum ports built to that standard size. Measure your port before ordering, since some systems use 1-1/2 inch or 2 inch hose.
Does it come with cuffs or fittings?
No. It is sold as bulk hose so you can cut it to length and use your existing or new fittings.
Why choose reinforced hose over plain vacuum hose?
The bonded steel wire helix is what keeps the hose from collapsing under vacuum draw and from taking a permanent kink, which is the usual failure mode on unreinforced hose.
When should a vacuum hose be replaced?
Replace it when you see hairline cracks or splits, when a kink will not straighten, or when suction drops at the tool and you have ruled out a clog and a full canister.
What temperatures can it handle?
The Super Vac-U-Flex line is rated from -20 degrees F to 150 degrees F, which covers unheated mechanical rooms, attics, and garages.
