Extend the reach of your Panasonic or Kenmore upright with this extension hose that stretches to 18' long. Its great for stairs and reaching into areas where you vacuum can't go. Pins on the end mate with the locking slots on your upright's hose end to hold the hoses together securely. This genuine Panasonic hose is for use on their upright vacuums that have all plastic wands. It will not mate with Panasonic and Kenmore upright vacuums that have a telescopic metal wand since the slots on their hoses are too deep. Also, It can not be used with their canister vacuums.
