Overview:
A 1.50" crush proof commercial vacuum hose with 1.50" swivel hose cuffs each end and necessary adapters to ensure compatibility with home and premium shop and dust collection vacuums. The kit includes three dust collection adapters designed for 360 swivel with 1.00"; 1.25"; and 1.50" inner diameters compatible with the three most popular diameters of dust collection shrouds. A rectangular passive dust shroud is included to address tools lacking a built in dust shroud like found with Dremel's and band saws.
Features and Benefits:
- A 1.50" commercial crush proof vacuum hose with superior flexibility and smooth interior to optimize airflow.
- Each end of the hose features a 1.50" inner diameter swivel cuff to reduce stress to the hose and the owner when using the dust collection adapters or traditional cleaning nozzles.
- Three 1.50" Quick Click dust collection adapters with inner diameters of 1.00"; 1.25"; and 1.50".
- The dust collection adapters connect to the power tools with flexible 55 shore plastic elastomers that allow the adapter to stretch over dust shrouds up to 15% larger than the measured inner diameter.
- Two adapters designed for male fit into the hose ends with 2.25" male fit compatible with the most common home shop vacuums and premium brans such as Fein, Festool, Bosch, and Starmix.
- A third adapter measuring 2.63" on the outer diameter captures the remaining home shop vacuum brands.
- A rectangular passive dust shroud 5.5" X 3.25" can be fitted to one of the 2.25" adapters providing dust collection for tools lacking a built in dust shroud.
Common Questions:
Why would I want to use a 1.50" Quick Click hose and adapter set?
A 1.50" inner diameter hose has 44% more cross sectional area than a 1.25" inner diameter hose meaning higher airflow delivered to the power tool from your vacuum. It reduces the risk of clogging.
What is the trade off in going to a larger diameter hose?
You are trading significantly higher airflow for a modest change in flexibility. The 1.50" hose has a bend radius approaching 4.00" as compared to a 1.25" hose bend radius of 3.00".
When would a 1.50" Quick Click solution might be most beneficial?
When you are using multiple tools drawing from the same vacuum the larger diameter will optimize the airflow. It can also benefit when the debris being collected is larger in size helping to convey the debris back to the vacuum. It should also be considered when working in commercial environments like concrete coring, tile cutting, grinding, or counter top surface cutting.
Compatibility:
Compatible with major brands of home shop vacuums including Rigid, Craftsman, Shop Vac, Vac Master, Dewalt, and Bauer. Also compatible with premium dust collection vacuums including Festool, Fein, Bosch, and Starmix. The hose will accept Cen-Tec 1.50" commercial wands, floor nozzles, and accessories increasing the uses and applications as options are added.
