I have the CT 22 on order and I was wondering if it will go over the Kreg K3 Shroud ( 1 1/4") or do I need to get an adaptor?
 
No it will not fit directly as it is the same size.

I made a small sleeve that fits over the Kreg dust port and the CT hose fits inside, works great.
 
I use a Mr. Nozzle 1-3/8" ID x 1-1/2" OD Hose Adapter.  Bought mine at Mcfeelys.  Also good for hooking the CT22 up to a few other things, such as my miter saw before I had a Down Drafter. 
 
I recently used a piece of duct tape and it worked great. But the Mr Nozzle adapter sounds better.
  I have been using the Kreg without a vac thinking - it's only a few holes and since I don't use it all that much then why bother ?  and that little plastic thingy prolly won't help much anyway. Well this time I had a good size Kreg project and got set up with the CT22 and cordless drill. Wow - Drilling the holes went much much faster and cleaner. I kept preparing to blow out the chips that were never there and had a fresh spare drill battery at the ready anticipating the drill straining to plow out the chips, but it was all over and done with nothing to clean up. ( I really should read the directions more often.. naaaa.  ::))
 
I use a Fernco type rubber plumbing coupling. They are available at your local hardware store for a couple of bucks.

I have two of Fein hose adapters that connect to a variety of tools including my Rotozip (with dust shroud) and my Makita Belt Sander. 

Here's the Fein adaptor on Amazon for $4.19 each.  I've seen them for as high as $15.  I got mine at Woodcraft for $6-$8 (I can't remember the exact price.)

Regards,

Dan.
