Questions

How do I measure my hoses?

Measure the inside diameter of each hose end (or the outside diameter of a fitting it slides over) and type both; the generator makes the taper and the ribs to match.

Does it seal without tape?

The tapered ends jam tight and the ribs hold the hose. For dust extraction that is enough; for water pressure add a hose clamp over the ribbed section.

Can I make an elbow or a reducer?

Yes. Straight, reducer, elbow at any angle and Y adapters are all one setting away, in any diameter pair.

Do you have my tool's port size?

Pick it from the tool list: Festool, DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Metabo, Ryobi, shop-vac and dust collection, each with a source. Sizes marked approx are worth checking with calipers.

How do I stop it falling off?

Turn on the stop shoulder for a hard stop, and barbs for soft hoses.
