Tapered or non tapered 36mm hose for long run

[jt073]

I’m sorry, I cannot answer your specific question as to whether to use the tapered or non-tapered D36 hose; I have a D36 but I cannot get to check which one it is.

I find that it is a really good combination with the D27/32 hose - my workshop setup is that the vac (CT26) mostly stays next to the Kapex and when in use the D36 connects directly to the Kapex - for most other things I connect the D27/32 and this gives good reach around most of the workshop - most of the smaller tools (sanders/dominoes/biscuit jointers/vacuum accessories etc) work fine with the less cumbersome D27 hose.

The connection between the two hoses works very well.

I don’t recall thinking about it, but I would say today I would opt for the non-tapered D36 for my setup.

Cheers

About the original question, the tapered hose doesn't have the tool end that locks into the vac end of another hose, it has a tool end similar to the old 36 mm hoses.

I don’t think this is correct - both hoses have the same end connector (the only difference being that the tapered one has a green reducing sleeve where it fits the hose itself)

Cheers

The Bajonet on the D36 hose tool end is not as pronounced as the bajonet on the D27 hose end. So I don't see why it wouldn't work even if it didn't have the bajonet. Maybe a bit more air leakage?

The bayonet fitting on the D35 will work just fine with those adapters and other connections.  There isn't any air leakage.  However, the D36 bayonet is required if you want a proper fitting onto tools that generate more dust such as Kapex or the Festool Routers. The D27 end is just not enough air movement to pull dust from these tools.

Why? I have an older ribbed bajonet-free D36 hose and it never dropped off. I modified my Metabo MFE 65 to with a piece of 50mm PVC sewerpipe to go around the D36 hose (tool end) and even there it never drops.
