Adapting non Festool vac hose to Domino and Kapex

[suds]

I've been searching for a thread a few months ago concerning using different vac hoses with the Domino and Kapex.  All I remember was there was what looked like a blue hose about 18" long that was coming off the Domino and I thought it was manufactured by Mr Nozzel but that wasn't it.  Any help here?

I've been using the blue hose from LOWE'S.  It should be on FOG somewhere, got the idea from probably the same post, maybe 10 months ago.  Fits the Kapex like a charm, is very flexible, and is holding up very well with daily use on the site.

Here is how i did mine.  I use the porter cabel 1" dc hose that I already had for my plate jointer (that I sold when I got the domino) I connect that to an adapter I got at lowes that is in  the shop vac section to my old sears shop vac.  The adapter is stepped on one end so it will fit pretty much any hose and the other end fits the sears wet/dry vac perfectly.  I think the adapter was 8 or 9 bucks.  I have my kapex on a station with the shopvac underneath and both wired into a simple power stip mounted on the wall behind my kapex.  I turn on the switch and the vac comes on.  As soon as I get time to go to woodcraft I'm going to get the automatic on switch for the vac.  Only downside is the vac sounds like a 747.
