What is the difference between an electrified inlet and a standard inlet?
The basic difference is as the names would suggest, one has electrical current and the other does not. Both inlets have low voltage wires that operate the power unit. The electrified inlet also has standard 120 volt power that carries electricity to a electric powerbrush through the hose. When an Air King Direct Connect Hose is used, the power comes into the hose directly from the inlet and no other power source is needed.
