New NSS COLT 1450P Standard Canister Vacuum
Our Take (from the SES Sales Team)
“The Colt 1450 P is the kind of wet/dry vacuum a floor care crew ends up reaching for every week. The 14.5 gal tank is rotomolded polyethylene, so it shrugs off stripping chemicals and job-site knocks, and the 1.23 hp two-stage bypass motor pulls 92 CFM with 84 in of water lift for slurry, spills and standing water. The feature people notice first is the tip-disposal base. Instead of lifting a full tank, you pivot it and dump it into a drain or toilet. A float shut-off protects the motor, and the power head can sit on the floor and run to dry itself out after a wet job, which helps it last. This is the standard model, so you get the power head, tank and cart, and you choose the NSS tool kit that fits your work. At 62 dBA it is quiet enough for daytime cleaning in schools, offices and healthcare buildings. If you want faster water recovery, the FMS version adds a 27 in front squeegee.”
A 14.5 gal wet/dry vacuum for strip jobs, spills and floods
The NSS Colt 1450 P is a commercial wet/dry vacuum built around a 14.5 gal (55 L) rotomolded polyethylene tank. A 1.23 hp, 2-stage bypass motor pulls 92 CFM with 84 in of water lift, and a pivot on the base lets you tip the tank to dump into any drain, up to toilet height.
This is the standard 115 V model: power head and tank on a cart with large chemical-resistant rear wheels and front casters. Hoses, wands and floor tools are sold separately, so you can pick the NSS tool kit that fits your work.

Questions
NSS Colt 1450 P: common questions
Does it come with a hose and tools?
No. NSS sells Colt tool kits separately, with more than 25 kits built from brass fittings, cast aluminum tools, steel wands and 10 ft superflex hoses. Tell us the job and we will help you pick the right kit.
Can it pick up water and dry debris?
Yes. The Colt is a wet/dry vacuum. A float shut-off stops the airflow before water can reach the motor, and the cyclonic tank design keeps liquid and debris away from the motor.
How do I empty it?
The tank pivots on its base, so you can tip it and dump it into most drains and toilets instead of lifting it.
Can I add a front mount squeegee later?
NSS offers the Colt with an optional 27 in straight front mount squeegee for large-area wet pick-up. Ask our team about fitting one to your machine.
How loud is it?
NSS rates the Colt at 62 dBA, quiet enough for daytime cleaning.
