My central vac system has the two prongs in the outlet - this set doesn't have that on the hose I received. Do I need an adapter of some sort?

When I bought this I thought I could use it with my existing system but I couldn't. You basically plug it into your wall and use what you have. I don't like this system at all so I don't even use mine. I went and bought an actual vaccuum instead:(

Yes, if you have a real old system you may need an adapter or to replace the cord and pipes. You can contact the seller and they can help to make sure that you get what you need.

Yes. Unscrew the water outlet head and use the proper head adapter that comes with the PUR kit. assemble as instructed. Mine works great. Enjoy!!!

Glenn, you might be able to modify and create something simple that does what you want because it is definitely drawing power from my wall. The vacuum receptacles throughout the house have power running into them with a little plug under each. I bet you can simply just run the power into it yourself with the right cable and connector. Here's a picture of exactly what the pins look like on the vaccum that I was speaking of. http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/images/lg/cvs/centec_8919_2.jpg

The issue is the manufacturer of your central vac system; so, if you bought a system from company "A," you have wall outlets compatible with company "A," and any hose you buy would have to be likewise compatible.

Janice, the hose assembly comes with the 2 prongs for 120vac on the hose connector. Taped to the handle is an adapter module that replaces this with the extension cord that plugs into a standard 120vac outlet. It will work with the old style or new style. Regards, Ken

I took my hose to home depot and they gave me the adapter I needed. I hope this helps you.Sandy

Be careful; there are different models of this vac extension. Mine came with a universal adapter, but some come with an adapter that only works with a few other tubes. Also, I must use a helper to use mine.

The standard central vac hose is 1 1/2". I think you would have to get a short adaptor to go from 1 1/2" to 1 3/8".

Yes, there is a utility port on the right hand side to directly connect a vacuum hose. I use it to with my car kit as the unit is mounted in the garage. As far as the inlet/outlet, they must be behind the unit going into the wall, I don't see any outlets except for the utility one.

The round 2 prong will attach to the head of the hose that you need to buy seperetly if you dont allready have one.the other end of the hose comes with the regular flat 2 prongs that plugs into a 120 v outlet.I bought the beamcentral vacuum and the 35 foot compatable hose and they booth work very good together.

This system has the two prongs at the end of the hose that plug into the wall. That is the system I have, and it works perfectly.

There are adapters included but I removed the adapters to use with my hose.

There's a small black plastic connector which connects to the square outlet at the back of the sander that mates to this hose. It is available at Amazon; check on the page of your sander model for it. That's where I found mine.

I think you might need an adapter. It's a 2 prong plug I believe, but I haven't pulled the plug since we installed it. Works great in our store!

There is a video on youtube that show you how to connect to that pump. the vacum bring a couple of adapters so I said yes.
