Can the accessory hose be replaced because the nipple broke
The nipple on the accessory hose valve broke off and I would like to replace it. How can I open the machine to replace this part?
Is this a good question?

It is near impossible to replace that is why there is no replacement part. The end that attaches to inside machine goes to a enclosed reel. So you have to remove the reel and disassemble it both jobs looked very involved. The other end is very hard as well. I came up with a very easy fix you will need to order part #FA2000-000 from foodsaver. You will need to cut the hose about a inch from the canister on the new part and the old part. Now you need to splice the two parts with a small tube. I used a 1/4” delrin tube I cut the flared end off and it fits inside both hoses to join them together. Any questions ssaammss@aol.com

I noticed the black hose hangs up when pulling it out you might try to bevel with a sharp knife. I used a wrap of black electric tape over the joint
