# 90298 Central Vacuum Direct Connect

Electric Hose, 30-Feet

The 90298 hose is intended permit the on-o control of the central vacuum unit and to supply power to an

electric power nozzle. 90298 is a version identied in central vacuum as direct connect. Direct connect is

characterized by two prongs projecting from the hose end intended to engage a corresponding high volt

female plug in the face of the central vacuum inlet valve. This connection provides the high volt necessary

to activate the electric power nozzle. The hose end also has two metal plates on either side of the hose end

which contact low voltage pins in the central vacuum inlet valve. The low volt connection made through

these plates permit the switch in the hose handle to control the on o feature in the remotely located

central vacuum.

The hose handle is equipped with a three position switch. In the center position power to the central

vacuum unit and or to the electric power nozzle is not present so neither will operate. Pressing the switch to

the right will activate the central vacuum power unit only, no power will be present to activate the electric

power nozzle. This position is typically used when cleaning without the electric power nozzle. Pressing the

switch to the left will activate both the central vacuum power unit and provide power to the electric power

nozzle. This position is typically used when using the electric power nozzle on carpeted surfaces.

In the central vacuum industry there are several dierent types and spacing of the plug on the face of

the hose handle. The 90298 has what is termed a ush plug position. This is the most common type used

in central vacuum. It is designed for use with a power wand whose corresponding plug is set to exactly

mate with this hose when the hose and wand system are assembled. It is important to conrm the wand

conguration is this type before selecting this hose. This can be accomplished by looking at your former

hose to see if the plug face is ush to the handle surface. If you are unsure in your selection we recommend
