Commercial & Industrial Vacuum Systems
3 Options
MULTI-PURPOSE VACUUM HOSE
Genesis Commercial Hose (Gray or Black)
The everyday workhorse for general facility, shop, and industrial vacuuming.
The general-purpose vacuum hose that runs between your machine and the floor across commercial and industrial cleaning — backpack vacuums, wide-area units, scrubbers, and fixed shop systems. Lightweight polyethylene with a smooth bore keeps airflow strong and the hose easy to maneuver shift after shift.
Best for:
- Commercial vacuum systems and facility floor care
- Backpack and wide-area vacuums
- General industrial cleanup and fixed shop systems
Why this hose:
- Smooth interior bore for efficient, full-vacuum airflow
- Crush-resistant polyethylene that takes daily drag
- Lightweight and flexible for all-day handling
- Holds a full vacuum without collapsing
Sizes 2"–4" ID. Many sizes available.
Equipment compatibility: Fits commercial and industrial vacuum systems, backpack and wide-area vacuums, and scrubber/sweeper units.
Gray or black — same hose, same specs. Choose the color that best matches your equipment and keeps your setup looking consistent.
WET/DRY & CAR WASH VACUUM HOSE
Genesis Flx Plus Hose
For car wash bays and industrial wet/dry vacuums.
The wet/dry vacuum hose built for car wash vacuum systems and industrial wet/dry pickup, where it sees water, grit, and constant handling. Abrasion- and chemical-resistant polyethylene copolymer takes the daily abuse of a self-serve bay or a busy shop floor.
Best for:
- Car wash vacuum systems and self-serve bays
- Industrial wet/dry vacuums
- High-traffic shop and facility cleanup
Why this hose:
- Abrasion- and chemical-resistant for wet, gritty work
- Handles both wet and dry pickup
- Flexible with a tight bend tolerance for bay layouts
- Crush-resistant with smooth airflow
Sizes 2"–3" ID. Many sizes available.
Equipment compatibility: Fits car wash vacuum systems, self-serve vacuum islands, and industrial wet/dry vacuums.
ANTI-STATIC VACUUM HOSE
Genesis StatPath Hose
Static control for fine, dry, and spark-prone debris.
The vacuum hose for static-prone material — fine powders, printing and paper trim, electronics work, and dry debris that builds a charge as it moves. The static-dissipative construction bleeds off charge, so you avoid shocks, clinging dust, and clogs.
Best for:
- Fine dry powders and static-prone debris
- Printing, paper trim, and electronics environments
- Industrial vacuum systems handling charge-building material
Why this hose:
- Static-dissipative construction controls charge buildup
- Smooth bore keeps fine material moving
- Crush-resistant polyethylene
- Available in standard and heavy-duty (StatPath Plus) builds
Sizes 1.25"–2" ID. Many sizes available.
Equipment compatibility: Fits industrial vacuum systems handling fine or charge-building material. For combustible dust collection, see our Dust Collection Buying Guide.
Carpet Cleaning, Extraction & Restoration
2 Options
HOT-WATER EXTRACTION HOSE
Genesis CHT Hose
Built for carpet cleaning machines and hot-water extraction.
The vacuum recovery hose for carpet extractors and hot-water cleaning equipment, where the hose has to shrug off hot water and detergent run after run. Thermoplastic rubber rated to 245°F resists the corrosion that breaks down standard hose, and the double-profile helix glides over carpet and hard floors without snagging.
Best for:
- Carpet cleaning machines and extraction equipment
- Hot-water and detergent recovery
- Furnace-duct cleaning and ash vacuuming
Why this hose:
- Rated to 245°F for hot-water extraction
- Resists corrosion from hot water and cleaning detergents
- Thermoplastic rubber for superior tear strength on rough surfaces
- Crush-resistant with smooth interior airflow
Sizes 1.25"–2" ID. Many sizes available.
Equipment compatibility: Designed for truck-mounted and portable carpet extractors, hot-water cleaning machines, and high-temperature duct and ash vacuuming. For cold wet recovery and flood/restoration work, see our Wet Recovery & Restoration Hose below.
WET RECOVERY & RESTORATION HOSE
Genesis STM Hose
For water restoration, truck-mounts, and wet pickup.
The recovery hose for water-damage restoration and wet pickup — truck-mounted and portable carpet units, flood and sewer cleanup, and waste recovery. It ships with factory-installed polyweld cuffs, so it connects clean out of the box, and every size pulls a full vacuum without collapsing.
Best for:
- Water-damage restoration and remediation
- Truck-mounted and portable carpet cleaning
- Sewer, waste, and wet pickup
Why this hose:
- Factory-installed polyweld cuffs for a ready connection
- Resists corrosion from hot water and detergents
- Very flexible with superior abrasion resistance
- Crush-resistant; all sizes handle a full vacuum
Sizes 1.5"–2" ID. Length: 50 ft.
Equipment compatibility: Built for truck-mounted and portable carpet cleaning units, water-restoration equipment, and sewer/waste recovery vacuums.

What to Look For When Choosing a Vacuum Hose
For buyers who want to understand the spec differences, here are the four factors that actually matter.
-
Hose Material
Polyethylene (PE) is lightweight, smooth, and easy to clean — the everyday choice for most commercial and industrial vacuum hose. PVC is tougher and more abrasion-resistant for grittier work. Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) has the best tear strength and the highest temperature tolerance, which is why it's the pick for hot-water carpet extraction.
-
Diameter & Fit
Measure the inside diameter (ID) your machine's port needs and match it. Our hose is sold by ID so you can run the size your system is built around, cut it to your run length, and finish it with the cuff or clamp you use.
-
Temperature & Hot Water
Standard vacuum hose handles ambient work to about 140°F. Carpet extraction and other hot-water jobs need a hose rated for heat and detergent corrosion — that's the 245°F thermoplastic rubber in our Genesis CHT.
-
Static Control
Fine powders and dry debris build a static charge as they move, causing shocks, clinging dust, and clogs. Charge-building material calls for a static-dissipative vacuum hose that bleeds the charge off safely.
