Happy New Year!
A number of months back I got a Thermax AF-1 for...free. It is a long story for another time, but I have a question and this forum is the best pace for it!
The Thermax uses a Hoover designed power nozzle and its power connector is in most every way the standard, except the "body" of the plug is cut down. This is so it can fit into the spring-loaded port on the hose. A standard plug is too big. Do any of you know of an adapter so that you can use any power nozzle with the hose? My current solution is running extenders up the body of the hose into the machine (I like to use my Beam Rugmaster sometimes. It is a great, albeit cheaply built, power nozzle) but that is clunky. Behold the photos and thanks! |

This may work it's got a smaller male end with a larger female end.

I'll order one and see if it does the trick.
By the way, here is what a white electrostatic filter looks like after cleaning the first floor of my house. There definitely is stuff getting past the water. I think that the design allows for large air bubbles than say a Rainbow |

Sharp knife, deep breath, two cuts. Make it fit. You can't break it if it doesn't fit, but you might be able to make it fit. Good luck with your vac ~ |

Mike, I have actually adapted the plug on a Dustcare PB11 for use with the SET220 electric wand on my 2007 Miele S5280 Callisto. It's very easy to do, just spread the prongs apart with your fingers a little bit. If your fingers aren't that strong, though, as long as you are gentle, you can also use a pair of pliers. You could also make a adapter cord by splicing together the Filter Queen pigtail linked above with this generic Miele powerhead cord I am linking to below.
Nicholas - That is NOT a Hoover powerhead. It's actually a Centec copy of the Hoover Futura base PN that didn't have the headlight. It was a basic central vac PN for many years before it was discontinued, & Proteam used it on the Proteam CX440 canister, which was a rebadged German Fakir S250 Supertronic canister. We got it here in Canada as the Electron Gold S220 canister, but packaged with either a Samsung or Lindhaus 12 inch PN, depending on which option the vac shop selling it chose.
