Shark Upright Vacuum Hose A...

Product details
This adapter, part 14-1000-02, is a black plastic fitting that steps a 1 1/2 inch hose opening down to the 1 1/4 inch size, listed for Shark upright vacuums.
Wands, floor tools and hoses built for the 1 1/4 inch size will not seat directly on a 1 1/2 inch opening. This adapter bridges that gap so the smaller diameter tool locks on and seals rather than sitting loose and leaking air at the joint, which is where most of the lost suction on a mismatched fitting actually happens.
Push the adapter fully onto the smaller opening before you connect the tool or hose, so the joint holds on its own rather than relying on the tool's own friction to keep it seated.
- Part: 14-1000-02, 1 1/2 to 1 1/4 inch adapter
- Material: molded black plastic
- Use: mates a 1 1/4 inch tool or hose to a 1 1/2 inch opening
- Check first: measure both ends before ordering, since fitting sizes vary between machines
Measure the diameter at both the vacuum's opening and the tool or hose you want to attach, since this adapter only helps when the mismatch is exactly 1 1/2 inch to 1 1/4 inch. Measure across the inside of each opening rather than the outside, because a wall thickness of a few millimetres is enough to make two fittings that look alike refuse to seat together, and verify against your machine's part diagram if the numbers come out close.
