How to Replace a Split Henry Quick Floor Tool Hose

How To Replace A Henry Quick Floor Tool Hose

If your Henry Quick vacuum floor tool hose has split or become damaged, the good news is that you can replace it yourself without buying a complete new floor tool.

This repair is much easier than many people expect and can save a surprising amount of money.

This guide walks you through the full process step by step, from removing the old hose to fitting the replacement securely.

What You’ll Need

  • Replacement Henry Quick hose
  • Torx T10 screwdriver
  • Pliers
  • Glue (superglue gel or epoxy resin)
  • Cloth

Why Do Henry Quick Hoses Split?

The Henry Quick floor tool hose flexes constantly during use, especially near the ends where the hose bends most.

Over time this repeated movement can cause:

  • small splits
  • air leaks
  • reduced suction
  • complete hose failure

Replacing the hose restores proper airflow and suction without needing a full replacement floor head.

Step 1: Remove The Old Hose

  1. Pull the securing clip on the stem to release the upper hose connection.
  2. Pull the hose free from the stem.
  3. Grip and pull the damaged hose out of the floor tool. Pliers may help because the hose is glued into place rather than screwed in.
  4. For the second end, cut a small slit to help uncoil the final section before pulling it free.

⚠️ Be careful during removal. The hose can suddenly release without warning, so eye protection is recommended.

Step 2: Prepare The Floor Tool

  1. Wipe the hose connectors clean using a cloth to remove dust and debris.
  2. To access the hose properly, remove the top cover by undoing:
    • Two screws on the back
    • Four screws along the rear
    • Three screws along the front
    • Four screws in the end cap
  3. Lift off the top cover carefully. If it feels stuck, double check that every screw has been removed.
  4. Remove the stem and unplug it from the circuit board to avoid straining the wires during the repair.

Step 3: Fit The New Hose

  1. Apply glue inside the hose connector.
  2. Insert the steel-reinforced replacement hose anticlockwise.
  3. Important: Never twist the hose clockwise during fitting or it can unwind and pop back out later.
  4. Twist and push the hose until fully secure. Stretching the hose slightly while twisting can help achieve a tighter fit.
  5. Check carefully for gaps and pull firmly to test the connection.
  6. For extra security, you can optionally seal the joint with epoxy or additional glue.
  7. Repeat the process for the opposite connector.

The second end is usually easier because you can see the hose fitting inside the connector.

Step 4: Reassemble The Floor Tool

  1. Plug the stem back into the circuit board and tuck the wires neatly into their channels.
  2. Refit the top cover and press down firmly so it sits flush.
  3. Replace all screws, including the screws inside the end cap.
  4. Check that the belt is seated properly before fully closing the floor tool.
  5. Push the upper hose back into the stem and refit the securing clip.

Final Checks

  • Gently bend and pull the hose to ensure it flexes naturally without coming loose
  • Check the floor tool closes fully with no visible gaps
  • Ensure no wires are trapped during reassembly
  • Test the vacuum for proper suction and brush operation

Your Henry Quick should now be working again with a brand-new hose fitted.
