Can this electric brush be used with a Vacuflo central vac and non-electric air inlets? Are air-inlets standard or specific to mfr?

I'm not a highly technical user. But my best answer to your question us to say yes, it would work. The electric to feed the brush comes from an outlet nearby your air inlet. Only the low voltage wire to close the circuit and turn on your central vac is tied to the inlet.

Vacuum advance primarily, then will use mechanical secondarily. I'm presently using on a dual port air cooled.

I purchased the vac'n save and didn't like it. I don't know if it works with anything else. You should check with the manufacture.

I have used it with my Ridgid 16 gallon shop vac and I have the adapter that fits. I have not had a problem with to much suction and the pad sticking to the wood. I have heard the same things you have heard though. I also use the diffuser on the exhaust side of the vac too.

I don't know what my system is but it works great with the vacpan. I think all central vac is standard 2" vac pipe.

Hello Lisa, This hose is made to industry standards in terms of fit and function. The hose end (that fits the Inlet Valve) features 1.5 inch outside diameter and the hose handle is designed to accept a typical 1 inch wand. The particular make or model of central vacuum is not necessarily dependent on the type of Wall Inlet Valves you may have. Most Wall Inlet Valves are standard with 1.5 inch inside diameter. If your home is already installed with standard wall valves then there should not be any compatibility issues regardless of the make of your central vacuum. In doubt, please contact us for technical support before purchasing and we will gladly assist you.

It works with mine but you need a high powered vac attached or there will be quite a bit of spillage.

I also use a shop vac with mine. The sander dust port has small nibs that hold my hose very well. I am icing a generic black plastic hose, and I am unsure of the size, but this system works well.

I don't know, but I just hook up the Vacuum Hose to it and it works pretty good.... I have a Penn Industries Vac with a 4 in hose...

Yes...and No. The hose power ON/OFF switch does NOT work, as the electrical connections in the Vacuflo wall outlet do not match the Cen-Tec connection. However, in use, I was pleasantly surprised to find this was not An Issue. On the upside, the hose itself stays securely in the outlet, is lightweight, very kink-resistant and quite reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to repeat the purchase.

yes, but note the vac line is 3/8" flare and not 1/2 or 1/4 acme, you will need adapter or switch vac fitting and hose to something smaller.

I am just a consumer and not an expert. I order this unit to replace my Honeywell attachment that broke to my central vac system. This is universal so it works both electrically or hose to wall inlet if already installed for your central vac system. If your current attachment prongs are the same it will work. If you use your system electrically then it shouldn't matter.

Pigtail Connections fit into any universal wall inlet most commonly used in 99% of homes. If you have decided to use an electric power (carpet) nozzle, the 6 ft. pigtail cord will need to be plugged into an nearby 110 volt wall outlet. Direct Connection hoses and wall inlets require low voltage and 110 voltage Romex wire installed during new construction. The direct connection electrical central vacuum hose has two high voltage prongs on top of the wall end of the hose. When the hose is pushed into the direct connect wall inlet it will automatically activate your carpet nozzle by making connection with the 110 volt and low voltage connection. The DC wall inlet needs to be installed by a certified electrician.

I found two versions of this filter in my local Sears. One was for threaded setup and one was for non-threaded setup/installation. My vac has threads, so I knew to get the right one. Both were 9-17816. The one I got looks different than the picture here (it has a full ring around both the top and bottom of the filter) So be careful which one you order, I guess.

Hi Mac,It's just a powerful standard hand vac.--no blowing of air so far as I know.

Yes, you can use this on a regular vacuum. Easily attaches to the hose. I have tried it with the vacuum & my regular vacuum and found no difference with results. The advantage to the portable one is just that it is portable. Hope this helps you with your decision.

It works with a central vacuum. I am not sure that it would work with a shop vac. Maybe as an extension hose only, but then I am not sure the shop vac attachments would work. It should work with any central vac. I have a TruTone central vac and it works great with it. Any issues you would have, would be with the wall outlet. If you need to change the wall outlet, it takes about 5 minutes.
