How does the suction hose holder attach to the CT?

[PaulMarcel]

I already have a boom arm for my CT-22, but the suction hose holder looks like it would be very useful for a separate Festool hose in my shop.  Thing is, I can't locate a manual or detailed enough picture of the holder to know how it attaches.  It won't be attached to a CT; I'll have to make a shop-made holder to attach it.

Can someone explain how it attaches to the CT?  Maybe a picture or two?  I would super appreciate it.

Paul,

I am not at home to take a picture but, the suction hose holder simply slides into the designated hole on the CT's front/top (above the dc port, IIRC).

Yes, I'll shoot a few pictures and post it here to save Bob the trouble.

EDIT: Here are the pics.

There is a small hole on the left hand side (as you face the front of the vac) that the shaft of the hose holder inserts into.

It also works with the hose garage.

Thanks Brice. As an aside, Brice is correct (surprise ) about that item working as a hose garage - just loop it the hose through and in my opinion is more versatile than  the "Hose hook" - 452-998, because the holder does double duty - holds the hose at working height and allows for hose storage, while the hose holder simply "stores" the hose.

I agree Bob.  While the hose holder isn't going to know your socks off like the boom arm will, it is however, a worth while accessory for the price.  Maybe I'll do a short review since there doesn't seem to much info on it.

You might be able to see how the hose holder works to tame the Boom Arm's power cord and D50 hose in this old photo:

Thanks for all the replies, guys (and especially the detailed photos, Brice).

I have an extra D27 anti-static hose and I've connected it to a Y-branch of my table saw's dust collection port.  The D27 fits perfectly in the SawStop guard's dust port.  But the hose hangs down and is always a nuisance to drape over something to keep it out of the stock path.  I have a block of wood mounted on the far end of my fence.  Since the suction hose holder only requires a hole to mount it, I'll change the block out for a bigger block, put a hole in it, and mount this holder to suspend the hose out of the way.  Hopefully it will slide easily through the holder; if not, there are wraps I can use on the hose to eliminate (mostly) the ridges.

I'll post a pic when I get the holder
