SEBO power heads are renowned for their exceptional cleaning performance with phenomenal pet hair pickup and long-lasting German engineering. But if you’re wondering, “Will a SEBO power head fit my central vacuum unit?”, you’re in the right place.

 

SEBO Power Head Central Vacuum Compatibility Explained

There are three main ways to connect a SEBO power head to your central vacuum unit. Below, we break down each option to help you choose the setup that best fits your system and cleaning needs.

 

Option 1: Use a SEBO ET-1 or ET-2 power head

 

 

The standard SEBO ET-1 and ET-2 power heads are equipped with a SEBO-specific 38mm neck, which is not compatible with the typical 1.25-inch (32mm) diameter found on most central vacuum wands and hoses. To bridge this size difference and ensure proper fit and electricity for the power head, you’ll need to purchase the SEBO Central Vacuum Electric Telescopic Wand.

 

The SEBO Central Vacuum Electric Telescopic Wand

If you're planning to purchase a standard SEBO ET-1 or ET-2 power head by itself to connect to your central vacuum kit, you will need to purchase SEBO’s Central Vacuum Electric Telescopic Wand to pair with it. This wand:

• Has a universal 1.25-inch diameter at the top to fit most central vacuum hoses
  
  
• Tapers to a 38mm diameter base to connect with the SEBO ET-1 or ET-2 power head
  
  
• Contains internal wiring that plugs into the hose handle at the top and the power head neck at the bottom.
  
  
• Features a telescopic design that adjusts in length for a more comfortable and ergonomic cleaning experience.

 

This wand is classified as an electric wand since the electrical wiring is built into the wand itself - resulting in a clean, concealed setup for central vacuum systems. It plugs directly into the back of the neck on the ET-1 or ET-2 power head, and directly into the plug located underneath the hose nozzle. This wand is not compatible with hoses that have a rear-handle connection port (as illustrated in option 2 below).

What You’ll Need:

• SEBO ET-1 or ET-2 Power Head
• SEBO Central Vacuum Electric Telescopic Wand
• A 1.25-inch diameter Central Vacuum Hose with cord connection port underneath the hose nozzle.

Option 2: Use the SEBO ET-1 F1 or ET-1 F2 Power Heads

For a more universal solution, SEBO also offers the ET-1 F1 and ET-1 F2 power heads. These power heads come with a friction-fit neck that can fit directly onto standard 1.25-inch central vacuum wands, with two screws to tighten and secure it into place.

Instead of internal wiring in the wand itself, the ET-1 F1 and F2 use an external power cord that runs along the outside of the wand and plugs directly into the power port on your hose handle. This external cord and 1.25-inch universal fit allows them to be compatible with a wide range of central vacuum wands.

 

 

What's the difference between the F1 and F2 models? 

 

 

• ET-1 F1: Comes with a 46-inch external cord ideal for hose handles with a rear-handle connection port that require extra reach
  
  
• ET-1 F2: Comes with a 37-inch external cord ideal for hose handles with an under-handle connection port

 

 

 

What You’ll Need:

• SEBO ET-1 F1, ET-2 F1 or ET-1 F2 Power Head
• A compatible 1.25-inch diameter Central Vacuum Wand
• A compatible 1.25-inch diameter Central Vacuum Hose

These power heads are perfect for homeowners who want plug-and-play convenience without changing their existing setup. 

 

Option 3: Use a complete SEBO Central Vacuum Kit

 

For those looking for a complete package, SEBO also offers full central vacuum kits that include a power head, wand, universal 1.25-inch diameter hose, accessories, and more. These kits are compatible with the vast majority of central vacuum units on the market. It’s a convenient, all-in-one way to upgrade your cleaning system with German-engineered quality and precision.

 

Why Upgrade to a SEBO Power Head?

No matter which version you choose, the SEBO power heads delivers unmatched performance. Their features include:

• Four-level manual height adjustment for brush roller
  
  
• 180° swivel neck and a 3.5-inch flat-to-the-floor profile

• LED alerts for blockages or brush maintenance
