As you can see from the photos it fits my Kirby Sentria hose. It's a different color and feels different. My other hoses are made of thicker/stronger material. And none of my Kirby accessories have 3 round grommets like this one. So I'm not sure if it's a "genuine" part. But it fits. And I lost my cleaving tool. And I need one. So it will work. I'm excited? no But it arrived on time, was clean and well packaged and looks exactly like the picture in the ad.
