Connector for D36 hose to D27?

[rdesigns]

I was surprised to find that I can't connect my new D36 AS hose to my D27 AS hose--there are times when the extra length would be handy, but I see that the vacuum-end of the D27 will not connect with the tool-end of the D36.

What is the correct part number of the fitting I need? (If it is made.)

You need to remove the tool end of your 36mm hose and replace it with 452894 (antistatic) or 452893 (non-antistatic).

Then, you connect that new vacuum end to the vacuum end of the 27mm hose using Connector Sleeve, 493047.

There are 2 little tabs that you depress and the hose ends come apart.

Thanks for the link--now another question--does the information from Festool mean that if I use the non-anti-static reducer, it will cause the hoses to become non-anti-static as well?

Yes.  Whereas the hose is the conductive path and a break in that path will render the portion closer to the tool to be non anti static.

Yep, Peter is correct.  Yet, a proper application of copper tape on the Hose Reducer can complete the circuit, correcting the problem.  Look for copper tape in the garden department of your local hardware or home & garden store -- copper tape is used to repel slugs from your vegetable garden.  Still, it would have been much better if the Festool Hose Reducer was made of antistatic material.

If you want to connect them quick and dirty, the D36 tool end will fit inside the D27 vac end pretty well. Then just wrap some tape around.  If you use painters tape it won't leave a sticky residue.  Also when the CT is turned on they will stay together without tape well enough for some light clean up as long as you don't pull on the hose  much.

Thanks to all for quick and informative answers.

The "quick and dirty" way srsemenza suggests would likely work well for just those few times when a longer hose is needed.

Meantime, I also discovered that the hose adapter that came with my little Bosch single-blade power planer fits perfectly as a connector for the two hoses.

Got a model number / part number for that adapter?

BTW the quick and dirty way maintains the anti-static without needing any extras.

It could be VAC002--"could be", because it appears that the model I have is no longer made, but their website shows planers with (apparently) the same type of dust exhaust on the tool.
