They sell generic shop vac hoses by diameter, you should be able to find them at the hardware store. However, you may have to finagle something for the connection to the machine. Seems like a special end piece. You may be able to reuse the original one with a new hose, or jam the end of a new hose into it. Not sure.

 ~ If I'm seeing it correctly, the machine-end connector was very cleverly designed. The screw-down pin on the suction outlet would fit into the channel around the hose connector; if it's not screwed down too tightly, just tight enough to hold the hose in place, the hose would have a swivel function -- something very few shop-vacs have.
I agree with others that it would be easy to find replacement hose onto which the original ends can be attached. They probably just screw onto the hose. There might be some glue that might be a bit of a challenge to free up. Try soaking the ends of the hose in a bucket of hot water for a few minutes.
Good luck! | ||

The vacuum end of the hose is just like that on my Tornado vacuum.Best bet-bring the old hose and connectors to a good vac shop-they can make up a new hose for you using the old connectors.I had to do that for my Tornado vacuum.Worked out just fine-cost less than 50 bucks. | ||

Not yet, but I was headed in the direction of using industrial hose. | ||

Contact a company in your area that services Janitorial equipment. They can get you hoses and cuffs. If you pay with cash or credit card they will more than likely work with you. | ||
