Not sure if they did the same with the shorter hose, but probably did to save grief as Brice noted about the lighter cords.

If you're talking about the 3.5 meter version (500276), then yes, the larger gauge cord is standard with the hose & cover.

Quite honestly, if this was the only stupid thing I ever did, my life would be SO much easier... [doh]
