Festool LEX 3 77 / 2.5 air hose connection

[zachjowi]

I recently bought a Festool LEX 3 77 / 2.5 but didn't realize there is a special air fitting.  How can I connect this to a standard air quick connect fitting?  Is there a way to change the fitting to something non festool?

Check for hoses in the accessories section. The connector is a special one including air inside the dust hose.

Looks like what I might need is 497214.  Anyone have an extra or know where to buy one in the US?

Part # 497214 appears in EKAT for Festool North America, so you should be able to order it directly from Festool. That being said, it may be worth speaking with someone at Festool to make sure you're ordering the correct part(s).....
