This Premium Attachment Kit is our best carpet cleaning central vacuum
tool kit for home use. This kit includes 11 individual tools, accessories and storage
components that
will not only increase your central
vacuum's cleaning performance but will also add to the pleasure of cleaning with a central
system. This kit is
available in two hose styles, Direct Connect
and Pigtail Connect for compatibility with all new and most existing central vac
installations. This kit includes
everything you need to clean all surfaces in
any size home.
Pigtail Hose Connection
This model is the Pigtail or Standard Connect
hose style. This kit includes lightweight crushproof
hose with a regular connection cuff that includes a 7 foot cord attachment (called a
"Pigtail") built into the hose cuff that plugs into a standard electrical outlet somewhere
nearby the CV inlet to provide electricity to the premium power brush.
This type of connection fits most wall valves on the market today where power
for electric attachments is not supplied directly by the CV wall plate. Our
universal Pigtail hose is designed to work with all standard wall plates, even
some of those that were installed years ago and those that may not have
originally included a powered attachment group. If you are unsure which hose and
attachment kit you need for your current system, or which type you should
install for a new system.

Standard connection is generally the preferred inlet valve type for retrofitting
installations (new install, existing home). This type of installation does not
require that you also run 120V wiring to each valve, only a low-voltage signal wire that is
used in all CVS installations. To use the Central Vacuum System with standard connection
valve and pigtail hose you need only plug in your hose to the wall.
When you need to supply electricity to the powered brush for cleaning carpets just plug in
the cord that is connected to the hose wall cuff to an electrical outlet somewhere nearby.
The pigtail cord on the hose is 7 feet long, and can easily stretch across a hallway if
needed. This kit is also available in model WWCCL30D (see link at bottom of this page)
with a direct connection wall end. If you are not sure which style you need, just give us a
call or send an email.
Our Premium CVS attachment group is built upon the philosophy that any great kit
requires premium components, especially the power brush. While a central vacuum
power unit's
suction motor can have as much as 5 times the power of a portable vacuum cleaner,
when it comes time to deep clean
carpets and rugs it is the electrically
driven power brush that will contribute nearly 70% of the total cleaning performance. Not
by coincidence, our Premium
CVS attachment group includes one of
the best power brushes available anywhere, the Wessel-Werk Model EBK340 Power
Brush.
The common term "German Engineering" is only common because Germans know how to
engineer like the Swiss know
how to build a watch. The EBK340
Power Brush is everything we have come to expect from the minds of German engineers
at Wessel Werk, surpassing both
functionality and styling of the
domestic power brush fare.
The measure by which all other power brushes should be judged, the EBK340 has the
power and features needed to clean carpeting of any
type.
There are many special components that lend themselves to the EBK340's phenomenal
cleaning ability. Perhaps most
importantly, the EBK340 uses the most
reliable power transmission system in use today: the Geared Belt Drive. Transferring the
full power of the brush motor to
the spinning brush (and furthermore to
your carpets) is what sets this power brush apart from the others.
The geared belt far surpasses traditional flat
belt products because it does not rely on
the stored tension of rubber to transfer the motor's power to the brush roll. Both motor
and brush roll are geared and
matched to the belt, which means the belt doesn't stretch, therefore always providing
reliability by giving consistent high speed RPM's to the roller brush.
Spinning the brush fast is one of the most important factors of power brush carpet
cleaning. Faster brushes increase the
bristle contact to the carpet fibers for
better brushing action. It also increases agitation to bring embedded soil to the surface,
at the same time creating an
auger action that reduces the tendency to
spatter like slower brushes that tend to spread dirt around before it can be pulled into the
vacuum's air stream.
Never Fail Belt System
If you have ever used a vacuum for any amount of time you will have most likely also
replaced its belt, probably more than
once, and perhaps several times.
Most all vacuums and power brushes use a flat belt made of rubber. The geared drive
system of the EBK340 uses a
fiberglass reinforced toothed belt similar to
that of an automotive timing belt with embedded fiberglass strands for superior strength.
The geared belt of the EBK340 will likely last for many years. Driven by a powerful full size
brush motor with lifetime lubricated ball bearing shaft, the EBK340 comes
ready to work.
The entire geared belt drive system is protected with a patented motor protection
integrated circuit that will detect any
problem in the brush before it can cause
damage and will shut power off to the nozzle. No longer does vacuuming up the dog's
chew toy mean you have to drop
everything and run to the vacuum store
for a new belt.
With the EBK340 you need only remove the obstruction, plug in your vacuum and start
cleaning again. Equipped with two
top mounted LED indicator lights you
will always know when your brush is operating correctly, as with a green indicator, or
when the brush action has stopped
as signaled by a red light.
With some older vacuums the brush roller belt runs in "dirty air", the same path where
vacuumed debris travels to the
bag. The EBK340's belt rides in its own
clean path, away from paper clips and staples. And because the geared belt system does
not rely on large flat surface
contact to drive the brush, you have
more space under the nozzle for cleaning brushes, plus better edge cleaning on both
sides.
The EBK340 also gives us many other great features including the auger bristle
arrangement that brings the dirt and
debris to the center of the nozzle where it
is pulled into the wide throat. The EBK340's airflow dispersal pattern guided by a
unique housing design applies even
and consistent suction across the entire cleaning path.
The EBK340 has other features that directly affect the use of the nozzle including the full
tilt/swivel connector. Allowing for
a full range of motion, the nozzle
connector will tilt completely back to the floor and swivel fully from left to right, allowing
easy nozzle driving by the
userThe nozzle connector locks into the upright position for quick parking while in
use, so you can easily pause your
cleaning to answer the door or move an object from your cleaning path.
The parking feature also stops the power brush automatically, restarting again when the
handle is released into the
normal cleaning position. The EBK340 is also
wrapped in a full non-marring bumper to protect both the nozzle and your furniture
without leaving marks on your
baseboards.
The nozzle's bottom plate is equipped with four independent wheels. Two front "helper"
wheels assist in transferring the
nozzle from one surface to another,
easily navigating transitions including thresholds. Set on independent and lubricated steel
axles the rear wheels accommodate smooth movements even on
the thickest of pile carpeting. Differing from other nozzles, the EBK340 rear wheels and
axles are connected together and
rotate within the nozzle's main body,
similar to the rear wheels of an automobile.
No more squeaky wheels, no wheels "snapping off" their plastic mounts. Furthermore, the
bottom plate is void of floor
damaging protrusions with all metal screw
heads recessed and wheels that are covered with a soft vinyl tread. The EBK340 is well at
home on hard surface too and
great for vacuuming mattresses to
remove dust mites safely and easily.
The EBK340 is constructed with precision components, which are balanced for vibration
and noise, making quiet use of
a central cleaning system. Even the
power brush body is balanced for truly straight tracking and the wide 13.5" (340mm)
cleaning path remains highly mobile
thanks to the full tilt, swivel connector.
The EBK340 is an outstanding asset for any CVS system, and will greatly increase the
carpet cleaning performance of both
new and older CV Systems.
Telescopic Wand & Cord Management
Connecting the EBK340 Power Brush to the hose handle was given no less thought than
the power brush itself. The
original single action telescopic wand
invented by Wessel-Werk provides effortless attachment and adjustment of the power
brush for carpet cleaning. Through
a single grip the chromed steel wand
can be adjusted to any length from 22" - 39" for any sized user.
No latches or buttons are required for adjustment, simply grasp the textured adjustment
collar and push to extend or pull
to retract. When you let go of the grip
the locking mechanism engages without further intervention from the user. Sealed from
the dirt and dust passing through
the wand itself, the telescopic action is
completely maintenance free.
The stationary lower section of the telescopic wand features a button lock for a positive
connection to the power brush.
Two cord keepers come preinstalled
on the lower wand body through which the power nozzle cord is routed. The upper section
of the power nozzle cord is a
stretch type coil, similar to a
telephone cord, providing tension while in the cleaning position. The top of the telescopic
wand includes the built-in
Plastiflex Cord Management connector. This
cord connection collar holds the cord in a mounted ready position for quick connection to
the hose grip.
Simply attach the hose to the wand and the power nozzle's cord is automatically plugged
in for you. Pushing the release
button on the front of the wand lets
you quickly detach the wand from the hose, no fiddling with a cord plug. A feature highly
desired by central vacuumer's, the
quick attach cord management
system makes changing from one tool to another fast and easy.
The 30 ft. & 360° CVS Hose
The lightweight current carrying hose is 30 feet long with a soft molded ElectraFlex©
hose body. The CVS hose body
is highly flexible to make sharp turns
without cutting off the suction. The hand grip is also the latest design in ergonomic "Gas
Pump" grips. Keeping the grab
area small means less fatigue on your
fingers and wrist than with gripping the whole diameter of the hose.
The hose-to-grip connection has a full 360° swivel union that keeps you tangle free
while moving about room to
room, and the fingertip switch is 3 position
giving you complete control over the remote suction unit and the powered brush. The
switch has a center off position,
move the switch in one direction to turn
on the power unit for straight suction cleaning or to clean hard floors.
Moving the switch to the third position will turn on the suction unit and also energize the
powered brush for carpet
cleaning. The Premium hose body
is an oversized 1 3/8" ID with a smooth bore interior for better airflow properties. An
industry standard, this hose is
manufactured by Plastiflex for the
Wessel-Werk kits and will fit all new and existing CVS systems with direct connection wall
plates.
Just when you think this Premium kit could not get any better, we must remember the
Wessel-Werk is a vacuum
nozzle company - producing millions of vacuum nozzles last year. When it comes to hard
floors we made sure to include the best from Wessel-Werk, the D360 natural bristle wide
path 14 inch
cleaning brush. The Wessel Werk D360 floor tool exceeds the standard floor brush used in
most generic central vacuum
kits, particularly for uneven floor
surfaces or homes with pets.
The D360 is a heavy-duty floor brush suitable for home or commercial use. The expansive
working width provides
excellent coverage in large areas and is also
very maneuverable with a full swivel neck. The D360 has two natural fill bristle brush
strips front and back with outboard
soft vinyl wheels that keep the tool
from scratching or marring wood or laminate floors.
The large center opening allows for optimal airflow, and the tool housing is manufactured
of near indestructible
polypropylene for years of trouble free use. The
floor tool's connector is a standard friction fit for quick connection to the second included
wand.
Featuring a button locking upper connector the wand offers a positive connection to the
hose grip, while the tool end is a
fast friction fit for quick tool change
over. A standard 32mm in size, all of the tools in the kit can attach directly to the
lightweight wand for overhead cleaning
and utility usage. Usage is simple with
a single cam action for extension or retraction.
The Not So Basic Three
While most every CVS attachment kit will include the three basic above the floor
attachments: dusting brush, upholstery
tool and crevice tool, we would not
settle for just basic in our Premium attachment group.
In every cleaning action, it is the tool at the direction of the user that gets the job done.
Quality above the floor cleaning
tools, just like with the EBK340 Power
Brush, not only get the job done faster, but get it done better. Here also Wessel-Werk had
many choices available, and
we selected their best for inclusion in
our Premium kit. To start with, we replaced the regular round dusting brush with our
professional dusting tool aptly
named the Ultimate Dusting Brush.
The Ultimate Dusting Brush from Wessel is an indispensable tool in any cleaning arsenal.
If you use your vacuum to clean
above the floor or other utility work, a
dusting brush is often the tool you will use. Unfortunately the dusting brush included with
most vacuums is too small to be
used efficiently, has an inconvenient
design or shape and may have bristles that are too short or made of material that is
inflexible, leaving dust behind on the
surface being cleaned.
With one tool, Wessel Werk has addressed all the deficiencies of regular dusting brushes.
The cleaning face has been
shaped for the way people clean. The
UDB has a five-inch cleaning depth with a 1.5 inch protected opening. The elongated
service end of the tool has nearly
twice the cleaning area of standard
dusting brushes letting the user do more work in a single pass. The top of the UDB is also
tapered and the bristles swept
forward letting you clean into corners
and reach areas inaccessible to other tools; and the suction opening is tapered so suction
is evenly distributed the whole
length of the tool. As a true dusting
brush, this tool is defined by its bristles. Unlike upholstery type brushes the UDB has long,
softer polypropylene bristles.
There are 68 individual tufts mounted in a double offset row to the chassis with raised
connectors to hold the bristles
securely to the tool. The soft bristles are
longer to flex as the tool passes over the object being cleaned, using stored tension in the
bending bristle to knock dust
particles off the surface and into the air
stream. Spacing between the tuft mounts allows for easy cleaning of the tool itself.
Removing threads or hair caught in the bristles is simple to do and keeps your tool
working with optimum performance. The poly bristles and heavy-duty housing are also
water washable and fit
easily in the top rack of your dishwasher.
A static upholstery tool is also included. The low profile design concentrates
suction onto the area being cleaned
increasing velocity, which carries the dirt and dust into the tool's nozzle. The upholstery
nozzle's front and rear surface
contact points feature embedded
lint/hair lifting strips.
These strips feature directional micro-fibers to grab onto hair and fuzz. When pushing the
tool forward the rear strip
grabs loose fibers that cling to the surface
resisting the vacuum's suction. When you reverse the direction and pull the tool back
towards you the rear collection strip
releases the captured lint, hair and
fuzz into the vacuum's air stream and the front strip begins its job of collecting lint and
fuzz. The Wessel-Werk upholstery
tool is lightweight, easy to use and
features two side vents to prevent the nozzle from sealing off against flat surfaces
ensuing constant airflow to carry
debris to the collection bin.
The Wessel-Werk crevice tool takes an opposite approach to design from the upholstery
tool, it is both long and built
extra heavy with thick wall construction -
good design attributes for a crevice tool. Crevice tools are often a favorite of
vacuum users, desired for their
utility and high airflow design.
Most often crevice tools are used for cleaning areas and objects never conceived of by
the engineers, and are jammed
into, next to, under and between
anything and everything.
Realizing long ago that crevice tools are used often, and often abused, Wessel-Werk
redesigned their crevice tool to
stand up to rigorous use. The extra length
of the Wessel-Werk tool, a full 12 inches, helps you to continue jamming, pushing and
prying the crevice tool wherever
you need to clean.
Because you can only clean what you can reach with your central vacuum, we wanted to
leave you no excuses when
using our Premium attachment group.
We have included two more wands (bringing the total to 3 sets!) made of lightweight ABS
for utility cleaning. Each wand
is 20" in length and also features a
standard 32mm friction fit to operate with every other attachment in the group.
Now you can add all three wand sets together and easily clean the crown molding in a
room with 14-foot ceilings. The
black ABS wands can be used in any
combination directly on the hose grip to give you just the right reach for cleaning your
car, sofa or under the refrigerator
with the extra long crevice tool.
Premium Storage
Now that you have the ultimate CVS attachment group, you need the ultimate storage
solution to keep the tools from
piling up in your closet - after all using your
CVS should be convenient. Even a kit as complete as this one should just store in your
closet, not fill it up.
To keep your tools in reach while you clean floors, the kit includes the wand mount tool
caddie to keep your three
above the floor tools on hand, ready for
use. The wand caddie snaps onto the telescopic wand and provides three connectors to
store the dust brush, crevice tool
and upholstery nozzle. If you prefer,
the wand caddie can also attach to the ultra-light telescopic instead.
To keep all of your tools neat and tidy storage is provided in a soft fabric storage bag with
pockets for the three basic
tools, two utility wands, floor brush and
turbo brush. The fabric storage bag can hang on a hook in your storage closet or you can
hang the loop over a coat
hanger and store the tools on a closet rod.
Easy to transport, the fabric storage bag is easy to move to your cleaning application
carrying with you all the tools you
will need.
An extra large hose hanger provides hose storage. Made of polypropylene and color
matched to the attachment
group, the hose hanger provides
plenty of space to keep your hose coiled up off the floor, preventing damage.
Easy to mount to any wall with screws or wall anchors, the hose hanger provides plenty of
space for the long 30-foot
hose, even when wrapped tightly in
many shorter loops. The built-in support of the hose hanger also provides an extra shelf
for tool storage - perfect for the
PT160 Turbo Brush.
From the Plastiflex 30 foot hose, to the EBK340 Power brush, and the other tools and
accessories included, this
attachment group includes
everything you need to clean your home, perfectly. Making the convenience of Central
Vacuuming a reality this attachment
group is easy to use, easy to store
and gives you the deep cleaning results you expect from your time spent cleaning.
A custom solution for central vacuum systems including tools that are perfectly matched
to their task and to each other,
this kit offers the ultimate performance.
