CT26 Hoses adaptors

[Bauskac]

OK, so I spent about an half hour at the dealer yesterday trying to figure this out.  I bought the workshop cleaning set which has the 36mm hose, I want to leave the 36mm hose attached to the CT normally for floor cleaning, and stuff, but then I want the option to connect the 27mm hose (CT end) to the tool end of the 36mm then attach the 27mm to whichever tool I am using, like normal.  Is this making sense??  We had a hard time coming up with the right piece, we finally did (#452 897), but is seems less than Fes-perfect to me.  Has anyone else run into this?  I have found when I struggle with Festool stuff, I am doing it wrong!

Is that just (2) 27mm hose ends with a short piece of hose between??  I have not tried putting a 27mm tool end into a 36mm tool end,  Does it fit right in??

It does.  It needs to be pushed in further than I expected, but it does fit.

I cut a 2ft piece of 27 mm hose bought the ends and made my own adapter.

Another way is to add the Y connector and a couple of blast gates. You can use the festool blast gates or Woodcraft sells one (I think)
