Milwaukee Hose Assembly
Model Number: 31-01-0305
The Milwaukee 31-01-0305 is a genuine OEM Hose Assembly for the 0885-20 M18 FUEL 3-in-1 Backpack Vacuum. This is the standard 1-7/8 in. by 6 ft. flexible suction hose that connects the vacuum body to the crevice, floor, and dust extraction tools, and it is the single most-handled component on the entire vacuum. It is stretched, coiled, dragged across floors, wrapped around the unit for storage, and pulled taut against its end fittings dozens of times a shift, which makes it the part most likely to fail over the life of the tool. When the hose splits, cracks at the cuff, tears loose from its end fitting, or collapses internally, the vacuum loses the sealed airflow path it depends on and suction drops off sharply even though the motor and filter are still in perfect condition. Because Milwaukee lists some dealer channels for this part under the alternate description Hose End Cap Assembly, the 31-01-0305 is supplied as a complete assembly with its end fittings already attached, so it installs as a finished unit and restores the vacuum to full rated suction without piecing together separate cuffs or couplers. Choosing the genuine Milwaukee OEM hose ensures the inside diameter, wall construction, and fitting geometry match the vacuum exactly, which is what preserves the airflow the 3-in-1 system was engineered around.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This hose assembly is documented at Figure 43 on bulletin 54-05-0885 for the 0885-20, with a quantity of one required. It sits on the parts diagram alongside the rest of the 3-in-1 attachment family, which makes it easy to refresh the whole set of wear items at once: the Dust Extraction Tool is ordered separately as 31-01-0320 at Figure 44, the Crevice Tool as 31-01-0310 at Figure 45, and the Floor Tool as 31-01-0315 at Figure 46. The vacuum's filter, another routine wear item, is listed as 49-90-1963 at Figure 47. None of these tools or the filter are included with the hose assembly, and each is sold separately. If your suction complaint is not clearly traced to a damaged hose, check the filter first, since a clogged or torn filter produces the same loss-of-suction symptom as a failed hose and is the less expensive part to rule out.
