Nilfisk Extension Hose

Hi,

I'm contemplating buying the Nilfisk C120. I read that it comes supplied with a 6m hose length.

Is there a longer hose length available or can you buy another 6m length and then attatch it to the current 6m length thus producing a 12m long hose?

Thanks,

Nick.

theres some on ebay selling extension hoses - forget the username though.
i got a 7 metre extension for my c120 from world of power - expensive at £50 ish but it pays dividends imo, making life alot easier

But that's only an extra 1m! A lot of money for that extra 1m!!

Could you not have connected you exisiting 6m hose to your new 7m hose to produce one 11m hose?

Or even a 13M one

They connect to each other, giving a total length of 13m, whic is brilliant, but it's a bit of a bugger to roll up.

Sugar! I'm tired!

So you CAN join the 2? That would be much better!

Do you get the necessary fittings with the extension hose? I wouldn't need to buy anything else?

Thanks,

Nick.

iirc the 7 mtr goes onto the machine first, and the 6 mtr one connects to that, cant quite recall, but either way no you shouldn't need any extra fittings as it comes with captive ones

It makes a huge difference too, so much easier than lugging the machine around.
