vacuum hose

Cleaner's flexible attachment

A vacuum hose is the flexible tube that connects a vacuum cleaner to its attachments or extends its reach.

The ribbed, accordion-like construction allows it to bend without collapsing.

Vacuum hoses also appear in automotive and industrial contexts, where they carry air or create suction: The mechanic replaced a cracked vacuum hose under the hood.
