I bought the air boom 90 degree elbows as the boom was cutting into the hose - https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-29171-2-elbow-for-air-boom.aspx

Haven't had them installed very long though, so we'll see if it helps.

Thanks for the heads up. If the Nozzle cuff does not work I will try this!

earl,
I bought some used Air Shamees. Going to install them next month @ the 2 washes we are closing on. How will you install that cuff? Is it just an easy screw in, like a vac? Or what?

 

[Earl Weiss]

Since the Hose slips over the end of the boom (Secured with a hose clamp0 just like it could slip over a 2" Vac Nozzle then my thought is a swivel cuff for the same nozzle would slip over the boom. I will secure with a hose clamb and then the hose will screw into the cuff just lkike it does for the Vacs.

Brilliant!

Earl, does the boom take 2" or 1 1/2" hose? I bought 1 1/2" hose to try on the vacs and threw them all away about a month later because they kept breaking. I don't think I've had a 2" hose break that wasn't several years old.

My diskin takes 2" hose. Mine has been in my four bay for over six months with just one hose breaking at the boom

did you buy the hose from kleen rite? If so, call them about the breaks. They had an issue with vac hoses breaking a few months back, maybe you got part of that bad batch.

It was quite a few years back. It was the Smooth-Bor hose which has never been a problem in 2".
