Browse Hoses by Type
Whether your hose has developed a crack, the handle switch has worn out, or you're ready to upgrade to a retractable system, MyCentralVacuum has the exact replacement hose you need.

Types of Central Vacuum Hoses
Most Popular
Low-Voltage Hose
Features a small on/off switch on the handle that sends a signal through a built-in low-voltage wire. Turns your power unit on and off without needing a wall switch. Compatible with air-driven turbo brushes. The go-to choice for whole-home use.
Electric Hose (110V)
Carries full 110V power from the inlet valve through the hose to an electric motorized powerhead. Required for any motor-driven brush. Available in direct-connect and pigtail (wall outlet) configurations.
Standard (Non-Electric) Hose
No wiring or switches — simply plugs into the inlet valve. Relies on an automatic valve or wall switch to activate the system. Best for basic cleaning and garage/utility use. Most affordable option.
Hide-A-Hose
Retractable In-Wall Hose
Stores completely inside your wall tubing and retracts automatically when you're done — no hose to coil, carry, or store. Available in 30, 40, 50, and 60-foot lengths. We are an authorized Hide-A-Hose dealer and stock the complete line.
How to Choose the Right Replacement Hose
1
Check your inlet valve typeDoes your wall inlet have metal prongs inside (direct-connect) or is it a plain round opening (pigtail / standard)?
2
Check your powerhead typeAir-driven turbo brushes work with low-voltage hoses. Electric motor-driven powerheads require a full electric hose.
3
Measure your existing hoseStandard replacement lengths are 30 and 35 feet. Longer runs benefit from a Hide-A-Hose retractable system.
4
Confirm fitting sizeMost modern systems use 1-1/4" fittings. Some older units use 1-3/8". Check the end of your existing hose or call us to confirm.
