Vacuum cleaner hose

[D.M. Procida]

I need some vacuum cleaner hose - not any end attachments, just the hose.

Is there such a thing as completely generic vacuum cleaner hose, or are they all subtly different sizes? And do they all have an anticlockwise thread?

Thanks,

Vacuum hose goes from 25mm to 600mm. Give us a clue :-)

Oh, yes. This is for a small domestic vacuum cleaner made by Goodmans. Perhaps I should measure the hose diameter...

Thread. Do they have a thread .Anyone I have used was just a push fit

I have a box full of old chopped off hoses because I hate to throw them away when I scrap a machine. Trouble is, I've never found a use for them!

The tube has a helical coil, which has to go clockwise or anti-clockwise.

You can sell one to me.

Maybe but that is not a thread ...

I beg to differ Stuart. Most commercial vac hoses 'screw' into the cuffs on the ends, so the spiral acts as a thread.
