I want to put a 36mm connector on my 27mm hose.

[gostauffergo]

I use the compact cleaning set a ton with my CT26 and a 36mm hose. I have always used my 36mm hose for airflow, but also the fact that the end fits over the connecting port of the tools, instead of going inside the port like the connector on the 27mm hoses. When I am cleaning up the job site (lots of demo etc), the 27mm end shrinks down the opening since it goes inside the port and causes tons of clogs. I don’t have that problem when I use the 36mm hose with the corresponding end.

Sooooo the  hitch is that I’ve just bought a CT mini, and the 36mm hose doesn’t fit in the hose garage. Which means I need to get a 36mm hose end on the 27mm hose, or I’ll be doomed to having a sys4 attached to the vac in order to hold the hose. Which starts to defeat the purpose of getting a CT mini.

So a 36mm hose end for a 27mm hose- does it exist?

Yes, well an adaptor does. This is the FESTOOL Australia site -

But the part number should let you search NA sources.

That is a 27mm end for a 36mm hose,

not what was asked for.

Yup, I need a 36mm end for a 27mm hose.

The problem is that even if you can get that adapter it's just going to move the place that blocks where the 27mm hose connects.

I don't bother with an adapter but a couple of bits of inner tube around the end of the 27mm connection would give a perfect fit. View attachment 1

I don't think there is a good way to put a 36 tool end onto a 27 hose. At least not in a way that will be helpful.

As far as I know it doesn't exist.
I think your best bet is to see if a 36 to 32mm tapered hose fits in the hose garage.
The 36 -> 32mm hose has a 36mm connector on it.
I don't know why Festool uses a 27mm anyway, IMO its a useless hose diameter.
You can sand just fine with a 32

It works well for me and if the 36mm were standard I would probably not be using most of my Festool tools as it's just an unnecessarily large size.

OK 'sports fans'  let's see if this will work  [eek] -

Anti Static Reducing Sleeve for Tool 27 mm / 36 mm

Work without the dust

For use with all Festool power tools with a dust extraction connection diameter of 27 mm and 36 mm. Use this reducing sleeve to connect your power tool or a cleaning device (floor nozzle) to Festool anti static or standard suction hose with a 27 mm or 32 mm diameter (not suitable for use with the integrated plug-it suction hose).

Wrong direction.  OP needs the tool side to be 36 and the hose side to be 27.  Going bigger not smaller.

I think you may need to invent your own especially if you want to get rid of the  "inside fit clog point".  Need to create some sort of butt connector in the same way that a PVC pipe coupler works.  Otherwise you will always have the lip / catch point on the inside.  Or the inside of the adapter needs to have a tight fitting step  to make the transition a smooth continuous diameter.

Yeah it’s looking like I’m going to need to hack something together. I need to the very end of the left 36mm connector in the photo onto the hose piece of the 27mm connector.

What’s the best way to connect these? I don’t know what kind of rubber they’re made out of or what would be the best glue for them. I’m hoping the 36mm end can slide over the 27mm base, and I get secure it with PL premium or something? Anybody have any legit ideas?

 

[gostauffergo]

Maybe I take the outer piece of the 36mm end, and glue it onto the 27mm end after I’ve cut off the end. Adhesive/silicone/whatever the connections smooth so it doesn’t trap debris. Seems like it’ll work, except that point will be under a lot of stress and may give me trouble.

So what would bond the rubber best? PL, abs glue, some silicone? I have no clue.

 

[gostauffergo]

also, I’m not sure if it is rubber or plastic or both which would need to bond.

When you look inside that connection (the way it is in the "glue" pic) from the end , isn't there still a lip / catch point on the inside?

I would stuff the space with something and then use electrical tape to attach it as a test before getting into the glue.

I don' have it set up now, but when I hammy Hitachi SCMS set up, I could no hook it  up to my 27mm or 32mm hose. None of he fittings would work the Hitachi. Maily they wouldn' work due to the horrible connection on he Hitachi. I finally got a Fernco rubber fitting and slit the end of the (rubber)fitting the would go onto the SCMS, put a hose clamp around he  slit end and socked it up very very  tight. End of problem.

I think Bob Marino used to offer a 2ft hose adapter to step-up sizes.  I couldn’t find it on his website just now. Might be worth a quick e-mail to him?

You are probably thinking of the adapter that has the D27 tool-end fitting on either end of a short length of D27 hose. Once again, this it the opposite of what the OP is looking for.
