Ashbys V2 Intake Hose (Grey, 20 cm) – Fitted with 2 × Large Swaged Male Hose Tails – For Metal Power Brush
Ashbys V2 Intake Hose (Grey, 20 cm) is a genuine replacement solution (water) intake hose designed for the Ashbys Metal Power Brush and several legacy Ashbys V2 tools. It connects your standard brass male or female solution connector directly to the solution intake on the trigger valve, giving you a secure, leak‑resistant and professional‑grade connection.
This hose was also used on some older Ashbys tools that are no longer produced, including the V2 Curtain Tool, V2 Wall Tool, ES Metal Hand Tool, and older models of Ashbys Hard Floor Wands (not the current model). A key technical detail is that both ends of this hose are fitted with equal‑sized Large Swaged Male Hose Tails. Each tail accepts either a male or female brass solution connector, making installation straightforward and eliminating compatibility guesswork.
This hose is NOT compatible with the Ashbys Stainless Steel Hand Tool range (see stainless steel hand tools here).
It will also NOT fit the stainless steel hand tool valve:
Replacement 500 psi Brass Valve with Trigger (PC7187).
If you need the correct intake hose for the stainless steel hand tool range, it is here:
Blue Intake Hose for Ashbys Stainless Steel Hand Tools.
The hose is manufactured from Goodyear Continental Neptune hose, a premium wire‑reinforced solution hose rated to 3000 psi. Neptune hose is known for its high temperature stability, excellent flexibility, kink resistance and long‑term durability — ideal for professional carpet and upholstery cleaners who demand reliability from every connection on their tools.
