For shops detailing larger vehicles — full-size trucks, 15-passenger vans, SUVs, RVs, or commercial cabs — a 12-foot vacuum hose is not enough to work the full interior without repositioning the vacuum machine. Every machine repositioning is time lost, and over the course of a high-volume interior detail day, those interruptions add up. A 25-foot hose solves the problem completely: the machine stays outside the vehicle, and the technician moves through the entire interior in one uninterrupted pass.
The CP-15 Vacuum Hose — 1.5″ x 25 Feet from Polishing Systems Inc is the extended-length, professional-grade hose for shops and technicians who have outgrown shorter hose formats and work on vehicle sizes that demand maximum reach.
What the CP-15 Is
The CP-15 is a 1.5-inch diameter, 25-foot vacuum hose designed for professional interior detailing and extraction use. The 1.5-inch bore diameter is compatible with the 1.5-inch fitting standard used on most commercial wet-dry vacuums, portable extractors, and professional detail shop vacuum equipment. The 25-foot length is the extended-reach format appropriate for large vehicle interiors and shop setups where the vacuum machine is positioned at a fixed station away from the vehicle.
Key Features and Why They Matter
- 25-foot extended length — covers the full interior of any passenger vehicle, truck, or van from a single machine position outside the vehicle. Completely eliminates machine repositioning during an interior cleaning pass.
- 1.5-inch diameter — standard 1.5-inch fitting diameter for compatibility with most commercial detail vacuum and extractor equipment. Larger bore than 1.25-inch hose — provides lower friction loss at extended length for better suction maintenance.
- Professional-grade hose construction — built for daily production use, resistant to kinking and crushing during active interior use, and durable at the connection fittings under repeated tool attachment cycling.
- Compatible with standard 1.5-inch vacuum accessories — works with swivel cuffs, crevice tools, upholstery attachments, and other 1.5-inch fitting accessories without adapters.
What the CP-15 Is NOT For
Verify that your vacuum equipment uses a 1.5-inch hose connection before ordering. Not compatible with 1.25-inch fitting vacuums without an adapter. Not for pressurized air delivery — this is a suction (vacuum) hose. Do not kink or sharply bend the hose during storage, which causes structural degradation over time. Confirm wet/dry rating with our team before using in a water extraction workflow.
Who Uses the CP-15
Detail shops doing full-service interiors on full-size trucks, SUVs, and large vehicles where 12–15 foot hoses require multiple machine repositioning passes. Mobile detailers working from a van or truck who park their vacuum outside the customer’s vehicle and need 25 feet to reach the rear seats without moving the machine. RV detailers working 30-foot and longer coach interiors. Fleet services vacuuming commercial vans and bus interiors regularly.
How to Use the CP-15
- Connect to vacuum: Attach the machine-end fitting securely to your vacuum’s suction port.
- Attach tool: Connect your preferred interior vacuum attachment to the tool end. Consider a 1.5-inch swivel cuff between the hose and tool to eliminate hose torque during extended-reach work.
- Position the machine outside: Park the vacuum machine at the vehicle door or outside the work area. The 25-foot length allows the machine to remain stationary for most interior access.
- Work the interior in sections: Work systematically from headliner down to floor, covering all areas without machine repositioning.
- Manage the hose: Guide the hose through the door opening as you move through the interior. Avoid pinching the hose in door frames.
- Store coiled: Coil the 25-foot hose in large loops after each use to prevent kinking.
Why Buy a 25-Foot Hose vs. Using a Shorter Extension
Short vacuum hoses with extensions — connecting two 12-foot sections — introduce connection joints where air leaks can develop, reducing suction efficiency. A single 25-foot hose maintains a continuous air path without intermediate connections. For production detail work where suction consistency and workflow speed matter, a single full-length hose is the better engineering choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there suction loss with a 25-foot hose versus a shorter hose?
Longer hoses create slightly more friction loss compared to shorter hoses. In practical terms, a vacuum motor with adequate CFM (cubic feet per minute) rating — typically 100+ CFM for professional wet-dry vacuums — maintains effective suction at 25 feet for interior detailing purposes. The 1.5-inch diameter bore helps minimize friction loss compared to a narrower 1.25-inch hose at the same length.
What vacuum equipment uses 1.5-inch hose connections?
Many commercial wet-dry vacuums, professional detail extractors, and shop vacuums in the 10-gallon and larger size category use 1.5-inch hose connections. Specific models vary by brand. Check your vacuum’s hose port diameter or measure the existing hose fitting before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Can this hose be used with a wet extractor?
Contact our team for the wet/dry compatibility rating of this specific hose. Some vacuum hoses are rated for wet use; others are dry-only. For extraction work with water and cleaning solution, it is important to verify the hose construction is rated for fluid contact.
Does the CP-15 work with a Tornador tool?
The Tornador cleaning tool operates on compressed air (pneumatic), not as a vacuum hose attachment. For Tornador-related accessories, see the Tornador Velocity Vac ZV-200, which is the Tornador-brand vacuum companion tool. The CP-15 is a standard vacuum hose for suction-based cleaning applications.
What accessories pair with the CP-15 hose?
The CP-15 is compatible with all 1.5-inch fitting interior vacuum accessories including crevice tools, upholstery brushes, wide nozzles, and swivel cuffs. Polishing Systems Inc carries a range of compatible 1.5-inch vacuum accessories. Contact our team for the current accessory lineup and compatibility confirmation for your specific tools.
