How it connects
The cuff twists onto the exposed spiral hose end. Its internal thread secures the hose and is sold as providing an air-leak-resistant connection; the precise sealing geometry is not specified.
Male and female halves
The cuff is the female, internally threaded member. The external spiral of the hose is the mating feature; it is not a separate conventional male pipe fitting.
Usually connects to
- Exposed end of compatible 1-1/2-inch spiral-wound pool vacuum hose
Common sizes
- Verified here for nominal 1-1/2-inch spiral-wound pool vacuum hose. Nominal hose size does not establish thread crest diameter, root diameter, or pitch.
Where it is used
Swimming pool vacuum hose repairPool cleaning equipment
How to recognise it
Look for a replacement pool vacuum hose cuff with internal threads in its hose-facing opening, specified to twist onto spiral-wound hose. Confirm compatible hose size and spiral geometry with the supplier rather than identifying it by nominal diameter alone.
Often confused with
| Confused with | How to tell them apart |
|---|---|
| Smooth pool vacuum hose cuff connection | Identify which end is being described: the hose side has internal threads; the other end connects to cleaning equipment by a separate smooth interface. |
| Female pipe or garden hose thread | Confirm explicit compatibility with spiral-wound vacuum hose. This cuff engages the hose spiral, and the cited sources do not designate NPT, BSP, or GHT. |

Good to know
This is a descriptive spiral hose-cuff interface. Estimated 47/51 mm diameters, 7 mm pitch, 38 mm engagement and right-hand direction do not establish a universal thread or sealant requirement.
