hose fitting to Kapex

[xrayman]

I own a Kapex and a CT 26E dust extr. I have had trouble with the hose staying in the fitting of the Kapex, especially when I do
a sliding cut.  I have tried to view parts on-line but cannot find a parts diagram of the hose and ends. Since there is a grove that looks like an O ring should fit in, I wonder if I have lost one.

I also own a TS 55 and the hose seems to stay put just fine in that saw

Can you please tell me if there is in fact supposed to be an o ring on the hose end and the part number?

Thanks,

Jr

No O-ring in the hose groove.

My 27 mm hose fits fine on the Kapex, and TS.

JR,

Welcome to the forum. Like Tom mentioned, there's nothing in addition to the hose itself, no O-ring. It just needs to be firmly inserted into the dust port on the Kapex.

Do you have a photo you can post or email to me at sho@festoolusa.com? That may help us determine what might be going on.
