ADAPTER - 50mm VACUUM HOSE to 25mm TOOL INLET

A simple adapter to connect a two inch shopvac style vacuum cleaner to any tool with a one inch tapered connector.   

Shown is a Makita Random Orbital Sander - I have included a small bend in the fitting to allow for clearance when using this larger size hose.

Print upright, threaded side down - no supports are necessary.    I have used PLA for all my connector fittings and all have stood up well to the usual workshop use, but I did  think about printing this one in Flex because it's likely to get knocked about a bit more than most.

USER TIP:  While the tapered fit is great for normal use, I find a little plumber's PFTE (Teflon) tape over the male part of the joint allows really smooth connect and disconnections - tight friction fit with a twist release.

This is just one of a growing collection of vacuum hose fittings and accessories that can be found in my VACUUM AND SHOPVAC ACCESSORIES COLLECTION
