Does this petcock have a place to hook up a vacuum line, or does it operate off of gravity?

I'm not electrically inclined. Not sure if a ground fault circuit interrupter is part of it. There is a reset button on it, so maybe? We do use an extention cord with a dedicated line at the house. We did have to rig our previous vacuum to the unit and small sediment (well water) does sift back in. I know that's not what you were asking but it is something to think about.

It has a reel in the middle to wind the hose up. I haven't looked in there for a while but I think that there is a bottom. Maybe someone else can help there.

The cord comes out of the top by on/off switch and wraps around a piece that is on back side of vacuum in picture. That piece has holes in it for some of the attachments. hope this helps,

It just hangs on the wall hanger; there is a little plug that you have to insert into the vacuum. There is a groove in the wall hanger that you can insert the plug cord into in order to keep it handy.

No, the unit's hose is not wired like a whole house central vacuum system and the unit itself does not have an outlet that is wired either. VacuMaid may offer a unit like that, but for my purposes (cleaning the car in a detached garage) it was not needed.

No, only the creepy hose works. Vacuum hoses are the same size but the connections won't work and they are weighted differently.

The compressor hooks up to it, when you push the button it blows high pressure air through an air venturi which pulls a vacuum. Google Air Venturi, this will explain in much better detail. I will say, it pulls a rather nice vacuum, pulled my radiator hoses flat. :) It is also a good way to check for leaks before putting fluid in the system, if there is a leak it will not hold vacuum and in my case it would not even create a vacuum, I had forgotten to close the radiator drain.

No it doesn't. You can wind it around 2 brackets on the bottom of the vacuum

Its so easy, it takes about 2 min with a small shop vac and you reverse the hook up so it blows air instead of vacuums. I do this for air mattresses, floating island I have and a 12' floating trampoline. I use the small "Stinger" Vac available from Home Depot for about $40, a little more than a 12v mini useless pump.

I have not used the vacuum one. The long gooseneck is a joy. It helped my paralyzed father to enjoy single hand usage on the bed.

Not that I know of but it you leave the grey open it will gravity feed after you get it started with the pump. Hope that helps.

We have not found a commercial vacuum system that hooks up to this pump. So we are cleaning the pool very creatively. For us it is a two person job and probably something you would see on duck dynasty, lol.

It's a pumping motion - so gravity. It's great. Works wonderfully, no batteries, no cords. Highly recommend this unit.

This isn't meant to attach to any other product. It simply has a valve that allows you to press a little bit of extra air out, it does not allow for a vacuum attachment of any kind to suck air out.

This vacuum does not rely upon the pump at all. It does not work using the pump, electricity or battery. It is attached to a regular garden hose and the pressure of the water is what pushes the debris into the bag. I love this product because of all these reasons. Also, with the help of a bag well known and made by Handy, who posted a great review on Amazon, it works much better. Need the instructions and pictures of how Handy made it I can send them to you. I think the pictures are now also posted on Amazon.

Mechanically, it would operate just fine. Practically, you would need to make sure that some tension remains on the line so that the cable spools up properly. There is not any guide that goes back and forth to make sure the cable spools correctly nor is there anything that force feeds the cable out. So if there isn't any gravity pulling on the hook, it may just unspin itself in the housing or get itself into a wad
