Title: Machine end vacuum fitting ?
Post by: david knowles on February 05, 2013, 06:12:10 pm

I have a Prochem Cheyenne the hose is to small for the machine end ! Is there a larger connector to the machine  if so where would I get one ?  also to join two hoses together would you use a metal connector or plastic ?  thanks in advance .
just booked for the Cleansmart Carpet cleaning course on thursday.

You need an expander cuff, most carpet cleaning websites do them. To join to hoses together you need a plastic join. What size is your hose? I'm guessing it's 1.5 inch and you need it to be 2 inch to fit your machine. I could be wrong though, i've never owned a prochem. Check the link

My hoses are 1 1/2" but the machine fitting is bigger it has a barb fitting like the tail on the pump fittings but bigger.
 I was not sure if the 2" would fit on as it would be a screw fitting . hence the question
looks like the 2 " is the only thing I can find until someone tells me different.

Cuff on the end of your hose should just push on!!

Your 1.5" cuff might fit INSIDE the 2" machine fitting.

Glynn is right, or at least you can with my machine. The 2 inch fits over the inlet pipe and 1.5 inch inside, quite handy really.

Above posts are correct..............

I used a two inch cuff at the vacuum inlet with a short piece of 2" hose joining a second 2" cuff.  A suitable 1 1/2 " cuff with the shoulders rounded will fit inside the 2" inch cuff.

I tried with the 1 1/2" cuff on the inside it would not go so i will try the 2" to the 1 1/2"
