Couldn't load pickup availability
One adapter for two hose sizes. Connect either a 1-1/4" or a 2-1/2" vacuum hose to 1-7/8" hoses and accessories. It's the easy way to hook any common shop vac up to our DrillVac Lite drill dust collector.
Features
- Adapts 1-1/4" and 2-1/2" hoses to 1-7/8" hoses or accessories
- Made from durable PETG plastic, built for everyday shop use
- Works with most wet/dry vacuums that use standard hose sizes
- Designed and 3D printed in the USA
How it works
Your vacuum hose slides into the adapter. The large end has a stepped opening: a 2-1/2" hose fits into the wide outer step, and a 1-1/4" hose slides deeper into the narrower inner step. The 1-7/8" end then connects to your accessory, like the DrillVac Lite.
Works with Shop-Vac, Ridgid, DeWalt, Craftsman and most other wet/dry vacs that use standard hose sizes.

Which size do I need?
Shop vac hoses come in three common sizes: 1-1/4" (small and portable vacs, detailing kits), 1-7/8" (most mid-size shop vacs) and 2-1/2" (large shop vacs). The size is usually printed on the hose cuff or listed in your vacuum's manual. Still not sure? Contact us with a photo and we'll help you pick.

Solid material. As described. Thanks
Very well made and worked out better than I was expecting
Been looking for a shop vac hose adapter like this for some time now. Not available anywhere. Didn't want to invest in another 10 ft hose with a 1 7/8" connection for attachments. Connecting into this 1 1/4 adapter with the 1 7/8" output for attachments solve the problem. Just love it. Thank you!
This should work for building my dust collection system for my small garage shop space.
