Add a Vacsoc Knit Hose Cover & Give your hose the Soft Touch! The Vacsoc brand knit hose cover is one of the most popular products sold on the Vacdepot website, and with good reason. The Vacsoc provides protection for your home from the marks, dings and scuffs the hose can sometimes make on your walls, furniture and baseboards. The Vacsoc also helps to protect your hose from crushing abuse, snags and tears. A Vacsoc hose cover also makes using your central vacuum system easier as it works to prevent kinking and twisting of your hose while you clean and helps you more easily gather up your hose for storage. Vacsoc brand hose covers are the most durable, made from 100% polyester and machine washable. The number one selling brand, Vacsoc means hose cover. Order the Knit Vacsoc in either blue or grey color using the drop-down order menu next to the order button and get a special discount. Vacdepot will also install the Vacsoc on your new hose for you at no charge. You can read more about the Vacsoc Knit hose cover.

To operate a brush roller at 5,000 RPM you must balance the rotating brush to such a high degree that special equipment is required to do so. Otherwise an inferior quality brush would become damaged by the additional stress placed upon it rotating at such a high speed. Other parts must also be able to work within these tolerances, such as the bristles, bearings, pulleys and belt.

When using a conventional belted vacuum, the moment the brush touches the floor slippage occurs. After 10 -15 hours of use, the heat and wear on the belt has weakened it and belt slippage increases, up to 50% of the rotational speed is lost. The geared belt drive does not stretch and does not slip.

Geared belts also provide an additional benefit that is not found in most flat belt nozzles: excellent edge cleaning on both sides of the brush. Thanks to the narrow width of the geared belt the bristles at the end of the brush are closer to the edge than regular power nozzles. The geared belt of the Lindhaus PB (shown above colored red) is synthetic, made of neoprene and is fiberglass reinforced.

Rubber is not needed because the belt does not stretch into place or require tension to spin the roller. While most manufacturers exclude the belt from their warranty, Lindhaus gives an extra 3 year warranty on its belt.

The bearings of the brush roller are often problematic in conventional vacuum nozzles. Most are designed to be replaced annually as they gradually lose their lubrication during use. Lindhaus PB's use sealed commercial precision bearings. The bearings are matched by the manufacturer for the speed and load of the application. The bearing holders are also unique and are made from cast aluminum.

Most power nozzles use plastic end caps to hold the brush which mount into a plastic base. The problem is that most times the end of the roller will become tangled in threads, hair and carpet fibers which become heated by friction then melt the end of the roller and the base of the nozzle.

The PB Series end caps are made from cast aluminum and use o-rings to seal dirt, dust and threads away from the bearings which prevents damage to the brush roll and base structure. To reduce noise and vibration large rubber caps cover the brush bearings so the transfer of power from motor to brush is smooth and quiet.

The bristles on the brush roller of the Lindhaus PB are also commercial quality. The bristles are rated at 600 hours of use before failure. That's 6 - 10 times the life expectancy of domestic brushes. Other quality PB features include convergent bristles, which means two rows of brushes are always touching the floor at one time, pulling everything to the center. The funnel shaped, center mounted brush nozzle intake with a geared belt is also unique to the Lindhaus PB nozzle.

The Lindhaus PB uses an electronic logic circuit that monitors the brush speed, constantly checking thousands of times per second for a possible overload. On most domestic vacuums this is not required, the brush simply does not spin fast enough, nor is there any direct drive on a flat belt system. This same logic circuit also alerts you via LED lights on the power nozzle when the brush is set too low. No more guessing if the vacuum is adjusted correctly, no more wondering if it is time to replace the belt.

How many times have you inadvertently vacuumed up a throw rug or article of clothing? In a normal vacuum, you at least break a belt, and possibly burn out the motor. With the logic circuit in the Lindhaus PB, the brush stops and signals the user with a red light. This allows you to unplug the machine and remove the object from the nozzle before damage can be done. Plugging the power brush back in automatically resets the circuit and you're ready to clean again.

The nozzle connector of the Lindhaus PB is a double swivel that articulates both up and down, and side to side for complete control. The button locking connector fits a standard 32mm button lock wand for a positive locking connection and uses a release pedal to recline the nozzle into a cleaning position.

All four wheels of the Lindhaus PB are covered with a soft vinyl tire which protects hard floors and provides excellent tracking on floors of all types. All four wheels are mounted on metal axles that provide for extended usage and wear resistance over the more common plastic wheel mounts.

Internal features of the Lindhaus Power Brush include a cushioned motor mount for less noise and vibration, solid state circuit board, steel wear plates in the pivoting nozzle connector and a micro switch that automatically shuts down the power brush when the handle is locked in the upright position. Despite its impressive feature set, using the Lindhaus PB is simple for anyone.

You need only connect the Power Brush to the cleaning wand and plug it in. The carpet height adjustment is designed to clean 90% of carpet types set in the middle of its range and will require no further adjustment. The brush indicators will monitor the nozzle while in use with a green light and alert you to any problems with a red light. The Lindhaus PB is designed for high usage and built to take the extended use of cleaning large homes. The high RPM of the geared belt drive and the airflow engineering of the nozzle shoe and funnel intake deliver deep carpet cleaning performance not available in any other brand of power brush.

CV7214-PT Standard Connect Hose
This model of the CV7214 series is the corded hose often called a Pigtail or Standard Connect hose style, sub model -PT. Our standard connect Lindhaus attachment group includes a new lightweight crush-proof hose with a regular connection cuff that includes a 7 foot cord attachment (called the 'pig-tail') built into the hose end and which plugs into a standard electrical outlet somewhere nearby the vacuum inlet to provide electricity to the premium power brush.

This type of connection fits most wall valves on the market today where power for electric attachments is not supplied directly by the CV wall plate. Our universal corded hose is designed to work with all standard wall plates, even some of those that were installed years ago and those that may not have originally included a powered attachment group. If you are unsure which hose and attachment kit you need for your current system, or which type you should install for a new system then please read our article linked below titled CENTRAL VACUUM HOSES AND INLETS EXPLAINED

Standard connection is generally the preferred inlet valve type for retrofitting installations (new central vacuum install, pre-existing home). This type of installation does not require that you also run 120V wiring to each valve, only a low-voltage signal wire that is used in all CVS installations. To use the Central Vacuum System with standard connection valve and corded hose you need only plug in your hose to the wall.

When you need to supply electricity to the powered brush for cleaning carpets just plug in the cord that is connected to the hose wall cuff to an electrical outlet somewhere nearby. The pigtail cord on the hose is 7 feet long, and can easily stretch across a hallway if needed. The CV7214 series is also available in model CV7214-DC with a direct connection wall end. If you are not sure which style you need, just give us a call or send an email.

The 30ft. & 360° CVS Hose
The lightweight current carrying hose is 30 feet long with a soft molded ElectraFlex© hose body. The CVS hose body is highly flexible to make sharp turns without cutting off the suction. The handgrip is also the latest design in ergonomic "Gas Pump" grips. Keeping the grab area small means less fatigue on your fingers and wrist than with gripping the whole diameter of the hose. The CV7212's hose body is an oversized 1 3/8" ID with a smooth bore interior for better airflow properties, an estimated 20% better than the standard 1.25" hoses. The larger interior diameter hose gives air moving through the hose less resistance for increased velocity and through flow. The new 1 3/8" hose works exactly the same as older 1.25" hoses.

The hose-to-grip connection has a full 360° swivel union that keeps you tangle free while moving about room to room, and the fingertip switch is 3 position giving you complete control over the remote suction unit and the powered brush. The switch has a center off position, move the switch in one direction to turn on the power unit for straight suction cleaning or to clean hard floors.

Moving the switch to the third position will turn on the suction unit and also energize the powered brush for carpet cleaning. An industry standard, this hose is manufactured by Plastiflex for the Vacdepot custom kits and will fit all new and most existing CVS systems with standard connection wall plates.

New 35' hose upgrade option available at order.
The same gas-pump style swivel grip 1 3/8" ID hose is now available in 35ft length. The 35' hose is the longest electric hose produced and the longest allowed by UL for residential cleaning systems. We have been told of a website that claims to offer a "36 foot" central vacuum hose. This is a misleading claim by a website that uses a standard 35 foot hose and includes the ends of the hose in the measure which adds the extra foot of total reach. All electric hoses (dual volt, 4 wire) are either 30 or 35 feet in length, not including the ends.

If you would like to upgrade your new CV7214 to 35ft just use the pull down menu above the add-to-cart button at the top of this webpage. Please keep in mind that the 35ft hose upgrade can only be purchased at the same time you purchase your new CV7214 kit.

Telescopic Wand & Cord Management
Connecting the Lindhaus Power Brush to the hose handle was given no less thought than the power brush itself. The new double action Myraton telescopic wand provides effortless attachment and adjustment of the power brush for carpet cleaning. Through a easy to use thumb button, the chromed steel wand can be adjusted for any sized user, extending from 24.5" - 38.75".

The new Myraton tele-wand has incredibly smooth slide action. The new latching mechanism gives a firm lock that does not slip and is easy to set. The new adjustable wand also has a redesigned interior that is smooth to reduce debris snags and to increase airflow. Sealed from the dirt and dust passing through the wand itself, the telescopic action is completely maintenance free.

The lower "stationary" part of the wand system includes the more reliable rivet down steel button lock keeping the wand engaged into the power brush. Two soft nylon cord keepers come preinstalled through which the power nozzle cord is routed. The upper section of the power nozzle cord is a stretch type coil, similar to a telephone handset cord, providing tension while in the cleaning position.

The top of the telescopic wand includes an easy release tab to quickly disengage the hose from the wand and a small crease at the top of the extension tube that centers and lowers the hose button lock for easy attachment. The back of the upper wand holds the permanently riveted Plastiflex Cord Management connector. This cord connection collar holds the cord in a ready-mounted position for quick connection to the hose grip.

Simply attach the hose to the wand and the power nozzle's cord is automatically plugged in for you. Pushing the release button on the front of the wand lets you quickly detach the wand from the hose, no fiddling with a cord plug. A feature highly prized by central vacuumer's, the quick attach cord management system makes changing from one tool to another fast and easy.

Deluxe Widepath Hard Floor Brush
When it comes to hard floors we made sure to include the best true hard floor brush. The EcoPro EP14105 natural bristle wide path 14 inch cleaning brush is made for high usage. The EP14105 floor tool exceeds the standard floor brush used in most generic central vacuum kits, particularly for uneven floor surfaces or homes with pets. With it's unique castle cut design and non-marking prolypropelyne housing the EP14105 floor brush lets you clean hard floors and walls quickly and safely.

The EP14105 is a heavy-duty floor brush suitable for home or commercial use. The expansive working width provides excellent coverage in large areas and is also very maneuverable with a full swivel neck. The EP14105 is a heavy-duty floor brush suitable for home or commercial use. The expansive working width provides excellent coverage in large areas and is also very maneuverable with a full swivel neck. The EP14105 has a dual strip of plush natural fill bristle front and back with a vinyl outboard rollers that keep the tool from scratching or marring wood or laminate floors. The brush set is detachable for easy cleaning in the sink or dishwasher providing for years of trouble free use. The floor tool's connector is a standard friction fit for quick connection to telescopic wand or for use with the ABS wand set. Aluminum Telescopic Cleaning Wand
No more Stooping. No more Twisting. No more Hassle. Along with the chromed steel double action wand for the Lindhaus power brush, Vacdepot also includes a second telescopic wand made of lightweight aluminum for use with the floor brush or for above the floor cleaning. Our ultra lightweight wand weighs just 10 oz, less than half the weight of two conventional steel wands, making it great for zipping through the house while cleaning hard floors.

The new telescopic wand has a durable black finish and adjusts fully from 22 inches to 39 inches in 1 inch increments. The latching mechanism is a positive ratchet giving a firmer lock into the desired height allowing the tool to be resized on the fly for the user. The latching system is internally sealed from the dirt control tube for perfect air-flow with no catches and the hose end features a nylon collar for quick and easy connections. Imagine cleaning stairs with a compressed wand that does not require you to hold your arm up to vacuum - less fatigue and much safer.

The Not So Basic Three
While most every CVS attachment kit will include the three basic above the floor attachments: dusting brush, upholstery tool and crevice tool, we have included the best of the basic three in our custom CV7214 Lindhaus attachment kit.

In every cleaning action, it is the tool at the direction of the user that gets the job done. Quality above the floor cleaning tools, just as with the EP14105 hard floor brush, not only get the job done faster but get it done better. The cleaning tool is where the suction meets the dirt and you need the best connection design between the two for superior performance. We had many choices available in this area and we selected the best for inclusion in our custom kit. To start with we replaced the regular round dusting brush with our professional dusting tool aptly named the Ultimate Dusting Brush; Wessel-Werk model UDB174-32. The UDB174 dusting tool is the nozzle we also ship with our commercial backpack vacuum systems for heavy duty cleaning where it is prized by maid services and professional cleaners.

The Ultimate Dusting Brush from Wessel is an indispensable tool in any cleaning arsenal. If you use your vacuum to clean above the floor or for other utility work, a dusting brush is often the tool you will use. Unfortunately the dusting brush included with most vacuums is too small to be used efficiently, has an inconvenient design or shape and may have bristles that are too short or made of material that is inflexible, leaving dust behind on the surface being cleaned.

With one tool, Wessel-Werk has addressed all the deficiencies of regular dusting brushes. The cleaning face has been shaped for the way people clean. The UDB has a five-inch cleaning depth with a 1.5 inch protected opening. The elongated service end of the tool has nearly twice the cleaning area of standard dusting brushes letting the user do more work in a single pass. The top of the UDB is also tapered and the bristles swept forward letting you clean into corners and reach areas inaccessible to other tools; and the suction opening is tapered so suction is evenly distributed the whole length of the tool.

There are 68 individual tufts mounted in a double offset row to the chassis with raised connectors to hold the bristles securely to the tool. The soft bristles are longer to flex as the tool passes over the object being cleaned, using stored tension in the bending bristle to knock dust particles off the surface and into the air stream. The poly bristles and heavy-duty housing are also water washable and fit easily in the top rack of your dishwasher.

The deluxe vinyl upholstery tool included in the CV7214 is 6" (152mm) wide with a scalloped bottom plate insert and a grooming brush. The shoe design insures continuous air-flow without the need for a suction reducer, eliminating "seal off". The brush strip gently engages upholstery to lift debris and groom surfaces.

The brush also helps to remove hair, pet fur, lint and other clingy soils that suction alone will not remove. The soft outer cover will not mar light colored furniture or scratch soft surfaces and the friction fitting connector will allow use directly at the end of the hose or with any wand extension.

Our unique crevice tool is 13" (330mm) long with flat profile and slots for those "hard-to-reach" corners and crevices where dust and debris can hide. Slots provide additional airflow along the cleaning surface underneath furniture and cabinets. Made of textured ABS plastic the crevice tool is strong enough to take abuse but also just a bit flexible to keep it from breaking.

Most often crevice tools are used for cleaning areas and objects never conceived of by the engineers, and are jammed into, next to, under and between anything and everything. Realizing long ago that crevice tools are used often, and often abused, the crevice tool was redesigned to stand up to rigorous use. The extra length of the crevice nozzle, a full 13 inches, helps you to continue jamming, pushing and prying the crevice tool wherever you need to clean.

Because you can only clean what you can reach with your central vacuum, we wanted to leave you no excuses when using our Lindhaus attachment group. The CV7214 attachment kit includes two more wands (bringing the total to 3 sets!) made of lightweight ABS for utility cleaning. Each wand is 20" in length and also features a standard 32mm friction fit to inter-operate with every other attachment in the group.

Now you can add all three wand sets together and easily clean the crown molding in a room with 14-foot ceilings. The black ABS wands can be used in any combination directly on the hose grip to give you just the right reach for cleaning your car, sofa or under the refrigerator with the extra long crevice tool. The cob webs in the corner will have no way to escape the cleaning reach you have with the Lindhaus attachment kit. A must have tool that was first on the list of our vacuum experts for inclusion in Vacdepot custom attachment kits is the Turbo Hand Nozzle. Long a best selling add-on on the vacdepot.com website, the amazing turbo cleaning tool dramatically enhances cleaning ability of any vacuum system in the area of upholstery, stairs, car interiors and any other fabric or textile covered area too small to be cleaned by the full size Lindhaus Power Brush.

The Wessel-Werk PT160 Turbo tool is another German built marvel and uses the air stream produced by the CVS power unit to turn the brush roll, adding agitation without the use of electricity. As central vacuum system power units generally produce significantly more airflow than portable vacuum cleaners, the PT160 turbo brush works particularly well in the CV7214 attachment kit.

Agitation at the surface you are cleaning greatly increases the vacuum's ability to move embedded particles from the carpeted or upholstered area into the vacuum system. The Wessel-Werk Turbine hand tool can increase your cleaning efficiency in these areas 2 to 5 times standard cleaning ability. The PT160 Turbine system is simple and effective. The air is pulled through the tool and across two fans. As the air turns the fans, the fan shaft turns a gear, which then turns a geared belt connected to the brush roller.

The turbine system is not new technology and has been in use for quite a number of years. What is new about this system is the overall size of the tool. The width of the cleaning nozzle is just 6". The nozzle depth is just 2" with a full tool length of only 8". The small size of this tool allows you to reach areas such as on the stairs where a full power nozzle will not fit. The Turbo hand tool is most often considered an extra accessory, priced at $30. - $50. or more, but the CV7214 attachment group includes this great attachment.

Lindhaus CVS System Storage
Now that you have the ultimate CVS attachment group, you need the ultimate storage solution to keep the tools from piling up in your closet - after all using your CVS should be convenient. Even a kit as complete as the CV7214 should just store in your closet, not fill it up.

To keep your tools in reach while you clean floors, the CV7214 includes the wand mount tool caddie to keep your three above the floor tools on hand, ready for use. The wand caddie snaps onto the telescopic wand and provides three connectors to store the dust brush, crevice tool and upholstery nozzle. If you prefer, the wand caddie can also attach to the ultra-light telescopic instead. Having your basic 3 in reach at all times can increase efficiency and give you the opportunity to do detail cleaning when needed.

To keep all of your tools neat and tidy, storage is provided via a soft fabric storage bag with pockets for the dusting brush, upholstery nozzle and crevice tool. There are two side pockets for the two utility wands and a larger center pocket that is large enough to store the EP14105 floor brush and the Wessel-Werk turbo brush together.

The fabric storage features a strong loop of nylon at the top so the bag can hang on a hook in your storage closet or you can hang the loop over a coat hanger and store the tools on a closet rod. Easy to transport, the fabric storage bag is an easy way to move all your tools to the area being cleaned, instead of walking back and forth to your storage closet to retrieve one tool at a time.

An extra large hose hanger provides hose storage. Made of polypropylene and matched to the CV7214 attachment group, the hose hanger provides plenty of space to keep your hose coiled up off the floor, preventing damage.

Easy to mount to any wall with screws or wall anchors, the hose hanger provides plenty of space for the hose, even when wrapped tightly in many shorter loops. Keeping your hose coiled and off the floor will greatly extend its cleaning life and help to keep it flexible for many years. The additional space inside the hose hanger is large enough to store either the EP14105 floor tool or the Wessel-Werk turbo brush.

Providing for complete "off the floor" accessory storage the CV7214 attachment group from Vacdepot.com includes two wall mount wand holders. These unique devices mount directly to the wall with included screws or wall anchors and feature a flexing, pivoting rubber strap.

To store the telescopic wand and Lindhaus power brush, just push the wand into the rubber strap and it locks into place supporting the full weight of wand and nozzle, hanging on the wall and out of the way. A second wand holder is also included to store the second aluminum telescopic wand off the floor with or without the EP14105 floor brush attached. The complete CV7214 attachment group can be stored in the smallest of spaces easily and will not clutter up the floor. The included storage devices will help you keep your cleaning system organized, easy to find and accessible, and prevent external damage or loss - two of the most common problems with CVS attachments.

From the Plastiflex 30ft 1 3/8" power hose, to the Lindhaus PB series Power brush, and the 14 other tools and accessories included, the CV7214 Attachment Group includes everything you need to clean your home, perfectly. Making the convenience of Central Vacuuming a reality this attachment group is easy to use, easy to store and gives you the deep cleaning results you expect from your time spent cleaning. A custom deep cleaning solution for central vacuum systems including tools that are perfectly matched to their task and to each other, the CV7214 is an exceptional collection of cleaning tools that offers the ultimate performance.
