Vacuum Hose Repair and Solution Hose Valve Installation

[smart n kleen]

I have never used hose cuffs. No reason to.
I use thin wall 2 inch stainless tubing for all my hose connectors.
Zero leaks

Try the flash cuffs

That is what we currently use, they leaked after about the first 30 days

I’ve had mine for 4 years. If the cuffs aren’t leaking the tank is bypassing air.

So your leak is somewhere else?

We have custom hose lengths. I wish someone would have told me this 7 year ago, but I learned last year

Spend the extra money on locking hose cuffs. the first time you're by yourself and drop a vac hose from the 3rd floor because the barb fitting is loose, you'll be happy.

Or the first time you are going up 5 floors one guy up top, and one guy in the bottom and the vac hose slips out and hits you on the back from 5 floors...ha!

100' lead hose eliminates 100% of leaks on 95% residential jobs for us. From the filter directly to the wand.

Our solution hoses are all 165, and our first vac hose is 85 feet with a 15 foot 2nd hose. It’s almost perfect every time.

Try the flash cuffs

Why would I try something I have no need for.
In 42 years I have used just about everything out there mostly on other operators setups and still do see the need for a hose cuff.

Ok. I thought the same thing. Just keep your hose exactly the same way.

Just apologize to him and he’ll let you order again. Some kind of power trip

 

[Jim Davisson]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about, must be something before my time on TMF... Everytime I order from their website things have been really smooth and if I have any questions about shipment dates they are handled promptly.
