Clean Storm 20181008, Basic 2 Inch x 1.5 Inch Dustdowner Water Spray Hose Adapter for Vacuum Hose Systems

Description

The Clean Storm 20181008 Basic 2 Inch x 1.5 Inch Dustdowner effectively suppresses airborne dust and particulate by spraying water directly inside the vacuum hose line during extraction. Built for professional restoration, carpet cleaning, and industrial dust control, this essential adapter transitions seamlessly between 2" and 1.5" vacuum hoses while delivering targeted misting to protect equipment and improve indoor air quality. Constructed from heavy-duty brass fittings, quick-disconnect brass couplings, and a durable barbed hose connector, this unit ensures reliable leak-free performance under tough job site conditions.

Features

• Dual Hose Compatibility: Serves as a 2.0" to 1.5" barbed vacuum hose enlarger/reducer while integrating internal water injection capability.
• Integrated Spray Nozzle: Features a Spraying Systems VeeJet 1/4" MIP 110015 brass spray tip with a 9/16" hex base for precision water delivery.
• Quick Disconnect Connection: Outfitted with a Foster QD 1/4" Male Quick Disconnect (B101 / NA0801 / PX5) for rapid hose setup and connection to solution lines.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty barbed composite hose connector with solid brass mechanical and fluid components for maximum wear resistance.
• Dust Suppression Technology: Sprays a fine mist inside the hose, wetting dry soils, fine dust, and allergen particles before they reach the recovery tank or vacuum blowers.

Applications

• Truckmount and portable carpet extraction vacuum lines
• Dustdowner inline water injection during dry restoration and remediation soil removal
• Tile, grout, and hard surface cleaning extraction lines
• Industrial vacuuming and duct cleaning systems (Compare to Air Care FG0051 applications)
• Transition adapter between 2-inch primary vacuum hose and 1.5-inch whip lines

Tips and Additional Information

Installation & Usage Guidelines:
1. Hose Connection: Securely attach your 2" vacuum hose to the 2" barbed end and your 1.5" vacuum hose/whip line to the 1.5" barbed end using heavy-duty worm-gear stainless steel hose clamps.
2. Thread Sealing: When replacing or maintaining the 1/4" NPT/MIP brass fittings or spray tip, apply medium-strength PTFE thread tape or liquid pipe sealant to prevent air and water leaks.
3. Pre-Operation Inspection: Inspect the VeeJet nozzle orifice prior to use to ensure no debris or residue is clogging the spray pattern. Flush lines prior to connecting.
4. Water Pressure Control: Operate within standard solution pressure limits; regulate flow so water coats the interior hose stream without over-saturating the vacuum collection system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the main purpose of the Clean Storm Dustdowner?
A: The Dustdowner injects a fine water mist into the vacuum hose stream to suppress airborne dust, lint, dry particulate, and debris before it travels through the vacuum system, reducing filtration clogging and improving air quality.

Q: Is this item compatible with Air Care FG0051 systems?
A: Yes, the Clean Storm 20181008 serves as a direct functional equivalent and cross-reference replacement for the Air Care FG0051 dustdowner adapter.
