Q:What is Vaccuflex?

Q:What does the Vaccuflex kit contain?
A:The Vaccuflex kit contains two caps and fits the following hose diameters: 2 ½” hose, 1 7/8” hose, 1 1/2″ hose and 1 1/4” hose. The caps are made of durable, flexible, non-corrosive thermoplastic rubber, are ribbed on the inside for a snug fit, and allow breathing which helps reduce stress on the vacuum motor. The Vaccuflex kit also contains four pieces of flexible, vinyl tubing with the following interior dimensions: 2 feet of 5/8” tubing, 1 foot of ½” tubing, 1 foot of 3/8” tubing and 1 foot of 1/4” tubing, all of which enables vacuuming access to a variety of shapes and openings.
Q:How much does the Vaccuflex kit cost?
A:The kit currently costs $14.95. Vaccuflex turns your vacuum into a more versatile machine that replaces the following products, making it far more inexpensive than many single use products (note: some of these uses can only be performed with a wet/dry vacuum):
Drain cleaners
Dryer vent brushes
Refrigerator coil brushes
Canned compressed air
Oil pumps
Air pumps
Q:How do I use Vaccuflex?
A:Find the correctly sized red Vaccuflex cap that fits the diameter of your vacuum hose and firmly attach it. Then insert the largest tube into the cap. The other tubes can be used for smaller applications by inserting the smaller diameter tubes inside of the larger tubes.
Q:How can I straighten out the tubing for better control of the tip?
A:Attach two straightened wire hangers to the outside of the tubing to keep it straight.
Q:Where can I buy more vinyl tubing?
A:Replacement tubing may be purchased at most home improvement stores; some garden hoses will fit in Vaccuflex.
