Henry Hose Repair – How To Replace The Hose End Cuff
If your Henry Hoover hose has split or become damaged at the end where it connects to the metal pipes, you may not need to replace the complete hose.
In many cases, you can simply cut away the damaged section and fit a new Henry hose end cuff.
It's a quick repair that can save the cost of replacing an otherwise perfectly good hose.
Can You Repair A Split Henry Hoover Hose?
Yes. If the damage is close to the cuff at the tool end of the hose, the damaged section can usually be removed and a replacement cuff fitted to the shortened hose.
Before cutting anything, however, check which type of replacement cuff you have.
Replacing A Genuine Henry Hose Cuff
Important: If you have purchased a genuine Henry cuff and the retaining ring on your existing cuff is still in good condition, you may not need to cut the hose at all.
The old cuff can simply be unclipped from the retaining ring and the replacement fitted in its place.

Need A Replacement Henry Hose Cuff?
If your existing cuff is damaged or the end of your hose has split, a replacement hose cuff kit allows you to repair the end without replacing the complete Henry hose.
How To Fit A Henry Hose Cuff
-
Cut off the damaged end of the hose.
Cut the Henry Hoover hose just below the old cuff. If the hose itself has split, cut immediately below the damaged section so that you're left with a clean, undamaged end.
-
Fit the retaining ring.
Slide the retaining ring onto the Henry hose first. This is the smallest part of the replacement cuff kit.
-
Fit the threaded section.
Twist the inner threaded part of the cuff kit onto the end of the hose.
Twist it anti-clockwise until it is securely fitted to the hose.
-
Fit the new cuff.
Push the new cuff onto the end of the hose and clip the retaining ring securely into place.
That's it. Your Henry hose is repaired and ready to use again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a Henry Hoover hose?
Yes. If the hose is damaged close to the end cuff, you can often cut away the damaged section and fit a replacement cuff instead of replacing the complete hose.
Can you replace the end of a Henry Hoover hose?
Yes. The tool-end cuff can be replaced separately. Depending on the type of replacement cuff and the condition of your existing hose, it may either clip onto the existing retaining ring or be fitted after cutting away the damaged end.
Which way does a Henry hose cuff screw on?
The threaded section of this replacement hose cuff twists onto the Henry hose anti-clockwise.
Do I need to replace the whole Henry hose if the end is split?
Not necessarily. If the rest of the hose is in good condition and the split is close to the end, fitting a replacement cuff is usually a much cheaper and simpler repair.
Will shortening the Henry hose affect the vacuum?
Removing a small damaged section from the end of the hose should make very little practical difference to its overall length. Make sure you cut beyond the entire damaged section before fitting the new cuff.
