Henry Hoover Hose Keeps Coming Off? Here’s How To Fix It

If your Henry Hoover hose keeps coming off the vacuum, it can be incredibly frustrating.

The good news is that in most cases you do not need to replace the complete hose. The machine-end connector can usually be reattached in just a few minutes.

This guide shows you how to reattach the hose where it connects to Henry's nose.

If the problem is at the other end of the hose where it connects to the metal pipes, see our guide on how to replace a Henry hose cuff.

How To Repair A Henry Hoover Hose That Keeps Coming Off

There is also a video further down the page showing the complete repair.

1. Remove the machine-end connector.
   Unscrew the hose connector from the front of your Henry.
2. Clean the connector and hose.
   Remove any loose glue or debris from the inside of the connector and from the end of the hose. You don't need to make it perfect — just remove anything loose that could stop the hose fitting properly.
3. Optional: add a small amount of suitable adhesive.
   This is not always necessary, but if the hose has repeatedly worked loose, a very small amount around the internal thread of the connector can help hold it in place.
   
4. Screw the hose into the connector anti-clockwise.
   This is the part that catches most people out. The hose screws into the connector ANTI-CLOCKWISE, not clockwise.

   Twist it in firmly until the hose is securely fitted.

   
5. Check the connector can swivel.
   Make sure the connector can rotate freely on the end of the hose, then screw it back onto the front of your Henry.

That's it. In most cases, this simple repair is enough to stop the hose pulling out again.

Ready To Replace Or Upgrade Your Henry Hose?

If your hose is badly split, worn out or has already been repaired several times, it may be easier to replace it.

You can also take the opportunity to upgrade to a longer Henry hose, which gives you extra reach for stairs, cars, workshops or larger rooms.
