hosed

[glenboy]

never tried this but it happend in a pinch.i was haulin my 2 in vac hose up stairs 100 ft=2 50 fters.and i drop em in the hall and uncoil into the master.while doin this the first 10 ft closest to me flipped and when i pulled it broke.So i cut it off and all i had in the van was a new 2 in swivel cuff and a new 2 in barbed coupler.in the end my first 10 ft is a swivel now and that is bad ass because it never gets looped into an asshole and i come out of the home un tangled.best part is i didnt loose 10 ft of vac line

WOW!! You were hosed! Let me guess you run with no help?

Great Idea!

Small coils in the vac line kill recovery

depending on your barbed coupler you may be choking your airflow a little

 

[glenboy]

do u recommend another coupler?

If I understood your first post, you put the couple into the swivel cuff. Just make a complete connection with the swivel cuff, ie male and female.
that will keep your hose pathway open and yet retain your swivel

If you need to put a barbed coupler in, find the post about aluminum thin walled couplers. Or message Lisa, she knows how to get them. The plastic couplers take almost 1/2" out of your inside diameter.
