What is the difference between Pigtail and Direct Connect?
A “Direct Connect” set up means that your wall inlet is wired with BOTH low voltage wire and 110v electric. A Direct Connect hose will have two small prongs what will plug into the inlet to pull electricity when vacuuming. A “Pigtail” set up is when the hose has a 6 – 8 foot electrical “Pigtail” cord on the end that plugs into a near by electrical outlet. The 110v electric pulled from a Direct Connect or Pigtail hose is used to operate electric carpet nozzles.
