Know before you buy
The sweep elbow is specifically designed to provide a gradual turn for the vacuum hose. This shape is critical for allowing the hose to retract smoothly into the wall piping without snagging or getting stuck.
Most port locations require between two and four of these sweep elbows to ensure the hose travels through the wall piping correctly. The exact number depends on your home's specific layout and the distance to the main vacuum unit.
No, you should only use sweep elbows designed for central vacuum systems. Standard plumbing elbows have a sharp angle that will cause the hose to jam and significantly restrict airflow, preventing the system from functioning properly.
The 16-inch length is engineered to create a wide, gentle radius. This minimizes airflow resistance, ensuring your vacuum maintains maximum suction power while the hose is in use.
This is a genuine Hide-A-Hose component designed specifically for retractable hose systems. While it is a standard part for these setups, it is intended for use with central vacuum piping that supports the Hide-A-Hose retraction mechanism.
