my Miele central vac....

[beerad]

I hooked up a 30ft central vac hose to my Miele Solaris . It works great . I have a air driven pn for the carpets...

I.ve done that with a few vacs too, I had a really great PN from a wind tunnel hoover and some central vac hose so I left a Huge twin motor vac in a large walk in cupboard and used it as a central vac in our old house. It worked great and was super powerful

yes and.. that Miele

has 140cfm...soo it is very powerful,,,just like the airflow from a central vac....and sooo quiet too.

Hey Brad....just wondering out of curiosity, how did you do this?? I notice that the hose at the connector looks to be a slightly different color....did you have to splice 2 hoses together?? And can this be done with a electric hose & make it work electrically? I HATE how short the hose is on my Miele, & would like to get a longer hose to use with the PN, if possible. And I don't mind changing the electric wand & PN to make it work, if need be.

Thank you for offering to post a picture of how you connected the 2 hoses. If you could also post some instructions on how to connect them together, I would much appreciate it!! It will be nice to get a longer hose for my Miele....the short hose is 1 of the primary reasons I don't use it as much.

ok

here it is...

and

the hoses connected by a central vac hose cuffling.

Brad, that's ingenious!! I would have never thought a central vac hose cuff could be used for this application. Now it's only too bad you couldn't take a pigtail cord & plug it into the Miele receptacle for PN power....unless there's a canister PN cord with slightly smaller plugs. The holes on the Miele receptacle are a bit smaller than North American style receptacles.

Thanks again for posting this, Brad....

By looking at this picture and the comment about connecting a cord from the central vacuum hose to the miele receptical, I came up with a conclusion. What if you got a direct connect adaptor for the central vacuum hose, and then took a cord with a male end on one end and connected it from the central vacuum hose into the Miele receptical. The cord would look like what is shown below. Theres a link to the cord on ebay if your interested.

Just my suggestion

Daniel, thanks for your suggestion. But the problem is that the prongs on the pigtail cord you linked to would be too big in diameter & wouldn't fit properly into the receptacle, & would damage the receptacle. If you look at the top of a Miele direct-connect wand, you can tell the prongs are slightly smaller than North American standard.
