Hi I have just bought a Nilfisk 30t vacuum for gutter clearing and was wondering if anyone knows the cheapest place to by a 51mm hose and cuff.
As I have never done this before I haven't any idea. Would it be possible to just buy a long length of vac hose and attach it to a wfp pole and use it like that just for domestic?

Thanks in advance

Ideally you need to buy a pole set attaching a 51mm vac hose to a gardiner pole would not work, you need full control over what you are doing.

The vac hose would be too heavy and bend your pole like a banana and keep banging in stuff.

i got the hose and cuff from grip and it slots straight into the nilfisk.

you need proper gutter vac poles.

What's the point in 51mm hose if the cuff takes it down to 38mm for the inlet may I ask?

because it's not 38mm Dave it's 51mm inlet. 
you lost me

[Avo]

Good point thou, you need to really be running 51mm straight through not 38mm reducer

so how have you got yours set up then avo

[Avo]

X2 51mm cuffs screws into 51mm hose no reduced diameter..

Do you guys run into a 38mm then??

Then this fits inside the cuff for my poles to go into

No I don't use that vac but was thinking of getting one as looks like a handy little vac to have to keep in the van if needed for liitle jobs when I can't be arsed to lug about me big one.

Are you sure it has a 51mm inlet as it looks smaller than that to me?

£12 each machine mart

But I've stopped buying them now the filters are temperamental been using Titan sponge filters and nylon mesh

[Avo]

Fine mesh

[Smurf]

Many thank Avo, where do you get your Titan sponge filters & nylon mesh from?

Like I say looks a handy little vac does that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sZYcDMfJkI

Unless you got yours modified then it will have a 38mm inlet.

[Smurf]

Did you not see the pic of the tape measure on the inlet then that avo posted?

[Dave Willis]

Yes just seen it it looks like someone had ground the normal inlet out - mine has a male fitting. If you look inside Avos pic you can see the inlet is in fact very small further in.

[Smurf]

Mine is samller on the inside too

[Avo]

Yes Dave your correct it dose slightly taper in at the end but it takes a 51mm cuff
