Paxanpax123-DY-1416C PFC1241 Lower Duct Changeover Valve Hose for Dyson DC40, DC42, DC50, DC51 Series Vacuum Cleaner, Plastic, Black

Bought this to replace the COV hose on my Dyson DC40 which had broken and totally split, absolutely perfect fit and great value for money as a replacement part overall! Material seems much more durable than the Dyson original part, it fits perfectly and has restored it back to life. 100% recommend!

Fiddly to fit but does the job perfectly. There are videos from richardsvacuumcenter on Youtube that show how to fit it, I'd still recommend taking photos as you take it apart as the screws are all different lengths and sizes.

I ordered this item as the changeover valve had split from hoovering up to many small pencils which ended up piecing the hose. I found this product which arrived the next day. Thankfully there is a Youtube video with a tutorial on changing it. It doesn't take too long but it's worth taking your time as there are a few screws to take out which do have different sizes and it's relatively strightforwardI am pleased to say the suction is back and it's working well so far(it's been about 4 weeks since buying this)

It seems to the machines but the plastic on these is very tough and not easy to bend. If the part is being replaced on an older unit chances are the springs on the switch over valve won't be strong enough to pop this info place properly. Otherwise it's a decent replacement at a good price

Part is the same as the original, as it should be. A little fiddly to fit, but there are some excellent videos on YouTube. I followed the video step wise and paused as each phase was completed. Took about an hour.

Rubber seal wasn't fit properly or not cut to size. It came off the moment I unpacked the product. It is too lose and don't do the job. Very disappointed.

The sealing end rubber was not as firm as the old one ( too flexible ) and kept falling off so I used the old seal on the new hose and it works well.

Really pleased hoover working like new
