I have flash cuffs but they do not screw all the way onto my vac hose. Does anybody that uses flash cuff know which hose has a smooth bore that flash cuffs fit well?
agreed, lube it with WD40, cram the cuff on, stretch out the groves, clean both surfaces and use some Gorilla Glue to hold it on.just squirt some goop in the cuff to hold it in. It's a waste of money if you buy a hose for the cuff
The flash cuffs grab the outside of the hose not the inside. Smooth bore refers to the inside of a vac hose. The flash cuffs will fit on any of the Amflex type hoses. Don't use glue or tape. Just tighten them all the way and check them before you use them. I have flash cuffs on all my hoses and have no issues.I have flash cuffs but they do not screw all the way onto my vac hose.

Or, just go to w a n d e r s products.com and get some good cuffs.

Thank you for your response. I realize smooth bore refers to the inside. I need new hose anyway so I would like hose that has a smooth bore and the flash cuffs fit wellThe flash cuffs grab the outside of the hose not the inside.

I have a mix of new and older hoses. Mainly Amflex but the flash cuffs fit on all. You could use a little silicone to help secure them, you can then get them off when they need replacing. Cuffs break or wear out needing periodic replacement. Glue or duct tape is not a good option.Thank you for your response. I realize smooth bore refers to the inside.
