Does anyone know what connector I'd need to connect my new rotex 150 feq to my normal sized ridgid shop vac house? Preferably, one that swivels?
 
Rockler sells a dust right kit. It's about 25 bucks for a hose that hooks up to festool and directly to a regular shop vac. It isn't anti static but works very well, and it swivels.
 
It won't adapt to your ridgid hose but for about $35-40 the Bosch VAC005 is a non-anti-static hose with an ending that will work with most Festool tools and plug into your Ridgid vac. It doesn't have the lock on the vac end but it's a good friction fit.

I also recommend VAC005
 
I also used that Bosch hose with a Ridgid vac and it does work well. Then I got a CT26, so I put a Festool 36mm end on the Bosch hose and use it sometimes with my routers and my TS55. The Bosch hose is 35mm but has a 27mm hose end on it. The Festool 36mm end fits it perfectly so you can still use it if you upgrade to a CT at some point in the future.
