Vacuum Hose Alternative?

Recommended Posts

Hi, My vacuum collector currently has a short hose on it that is just long enough to reach the trailer. It would be nice to have a longer one for picking up leaves, but I don't really want to spend $150 on it. Has anybody found an alternative to the somplicity replacement hose? Thank you, John Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Hi John, I do not have one of these attachments. What size is the hose and how long does it need to be? Is it fabric or a rubber type thing? ScottS

Contact iHozs, best I found. I'm using 20 feet of T-7 for the roving nozzle. Don't forget, the short 6" duct stays on between the blower and trailer. You need 7". http://www.ihozs.com

Thanks Dutch! I don't know why I was thinking that I wouldn't need the shorter hose. Maybe it's all the leaves. Thanks again for your help, John Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side and a dark side, and it holds the universe together.

Hi all, You may want to explore dust collection equipment for hoses, nozzles, and such. [url]http://www.woodworker.com[/url] is a viable source. I have an extensive dust collection system in my shop and these accessories prove invaluable. A section of 6" x 18' of hose is $70, not too bad. DaveG

I actually used a 6" piece of solid plstic field tile from my blower to my trailer. This is the kind that does NOT have slits in it. It's a bit stiff, but I was able to bend it and attach without much trouble. DaveM

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
