What size vacuum cleaner tool will fit my vacuum cleaner?

Posted by Michael Sansom on

All of our quality vacuum cleaner accessories are designed to fit standard round 28mm to 38mm vacuum cleaner fittings.

32mm is the most common size used for vacuum cleaners, ducted vacuum cleaners and backpack vacuum cleaners. However some less common sizes are 35mm, 36mm or 38mm.

The best way to find out what size will fit your vacuum cleaner is to measure the INTERNAL diameter of one of your old vacuum cleaner tools. Please be very precise when measuring as the difference between the sizes is very small. Our vacuum tools are not compatible with vacuum cleaners that have non circular wands, e.g. oval or square shape unless specified.

We have vacuum attachments available in several sizes so please be careful to choose the size that fits your vacuum cleaner. On our web site the size listed at the end of a description of a vacuum tool in mm is the internal neck measurement. e.g. “Vacuum Floor Tool 32mm” is a vacuum tool to fit a 32mm vacuum cleaner. A product with no size listed in the title will be available in multiple sizes so choose the correct size from the drop down box. Ducted vacuums use 32mm tools. Our products listed as a ducted vacuum item will always suit a 32mm internal neck measurement e.g. “Ducted Vacuum Combo Floor Tool” is a vacuum tool to fit a 32mm ducted vacuum cleaner. If unsure of which size you need purchase a universal adaptor which fits sizes 28mm to 38mm.

Vacuum cleaner wand size

Vacuum cleaner wands or rods come in many sizes and shapes. The most common size supplied with most vacuum cleaners is a 32mm round shaped wand. This is the internal diameter measured at the top of the wand and the internal diameter of one of your vacuum cleaner tools.

Vacuum cleaner hose handle or BEP (bent end piece)

The most common size BEP is 32mm which can be tapered from 32mm to 30mm approximately. To identify which BEP will fit your vacuum you need to know your internal hose size and your wand size. See Vacuum Hose size and Vacuum Wand size above. A 32mm BEP will fit a 32mm wand and 32mm vacuum cleaner hose. A ducted vacuum uses a 32mm BEP.
