60" Straight Aluminum Vacuum Extension
The Flexaust 25HIUPAWC Straight Aluminum Vacuum Extension is designed to provide additional reach for overhead cleaning and other difficult-to-access areas. Its 60" length helps users reach elevated surfaces such as ductwork, overhead structures and other areas that may be difficult to clean with a standard vacuum wand.
The extension features anodized aluminum construction and a Type 1 connection with a 1-9/16" neck. It friction-fits to a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter and is intended for compatible vacuum equipment and attachments.
Product Highlights
- 60" extension length: Provides additional reach for overhead and elevated cleaning tasks.
- Anodized aluminum construction: Lightweight metal tubing designed for routine vacuum cleaning.
- Type 1 connection: Connects to compatible Type 1 vacuum tool couplings.
- 1-9/16" neck: Designed for the Type 1 tool connection.
- 1.5" hose fit: Friction-fits to a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter.
- Straight design: Provides additional reach without a curved bend.
- Extendable reach: Compatible straight extensions may be coupled together when the configuration is suitable.
Designed for Overhead Cleaning
Cleaning elevated pipes, ductwork, ceilings and other overhead surfaces can be difficult with a standard vacuum wand. The 25HIUPAWC adds 60" of reach to help users access elevated areas during routine cleaning and facility maintenance.
The straight configuration is useful when additional length is needed without a curved bend. Use the extension with a compatible vacuum hose and cleaning attachment, following the equipment manufacturer's instructions for overhead cleaning.
Anodized Aluminum Construction
The extension uses anodized aluminum tubing. Its lightweight construction supports handling during cleaning, while the anodized surface is designed to help resist oxidation, corrosion and wear during normal use.
Type 1 Connection and Hose Fit
The 25HIUPAWC connects to Type 1 vacuum tool couplings and has a 1-9/16" neck. Its hose connection friction-fits to a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter. Check both connection points before ordering to make sure the extension fits your vacuum hose and intended attachment.
Important Compatibility Note
This extension is designed for Type 1 tool couplings and a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter. Verify the connection dimensions of your hose, wand and attachment before purchase. Brand names alone do not guarantee compatibility.

Coupling Extensions for Additional Reach
Compatible straight extensions may be connected together to provide additional reach. Before assembling multiple extensions, confirm that the connections are compatible and that the assembled configuration can be controlled safely during use.
Buying Guide for the 60" Straight Aluminum Vacuum Extension
When selecting a vacuum extension, consider the required reach, connection size, hose diameter and coupling style. The 25HIUPAWC is a 60" straight extension made from anodized aluminum with a Type 1 connection.
1. Confirm the Connection Type
This extension connects to Type 1 vacuum tool couplings and has a 1-9/16" neck. Check the connection on your wand or vacuum attachment to confirm that it matches the extension.
2. Check the Hose Diameter
The 25HIUPAWC friction-fits to a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter. Verify your hose size and connection arrangement before ordering.
3. Choose the Right Extension Length
At 60" long, this extension is designed to add reach for overhead and hard-to-access cleaning tasks. Consider the height of the surfaces you need to clean and whether the straight design provides suitable access.
4. Consider the Coupling Design
The extension uses an aluminum sleeve and metal compression-ring-style coupling to connect compatible tools and attachments. Confirm that your existing components are designed to mate with this coupling style.
5. Consider Additional Extensions
Compatible straight extensions can be coupled together for additional height. Before assembling multiple extensions, verify connection compatibility and ensure the assembled equipment can be handled safely during use.
6. Choose Anodized Aluminum
The anodized aluminum tube is lightweight and designed to resist oxidation, corrosion and wear. It is a practical choice when additional reach is needed while keeping the extension relatively easy to handle.
Before You Order
- Confirm your tool coupling uses Type 1 dimensions.
- Verify the 1-9/16" neck and 1.5" hose inside diameter.
- Check that the coupling style suits your equipment.
- Make sure a 60" straight extension provides the reach you need.
- Verify compatibility before connecting multiple extensions together.
