5You won't get hosed on this oneMar 19, 2001
By Paul "rivercitykid"
I have used a couple of these devices to connect the dust port on tools to vacume hose. Funny how there are standard sizes of dust collection and vacume hoses, but every tool seems to have a dust collection port that is in some odd size. Nothing fits. This adaptor gets in between the odd sizes of tools and standard size of hose. You can easily trim this adaptor to fit either an inside diameter or outside diameter of the adaptor. Like I have said before, it does what it says it will do.

5Effective Solution In Most CasesSep 18, 2010
By Fred Anonymous Smith
I've tried several step adaptors, but this Shop-Vac 9068700 universal tool adapter has worked most often. I'm now back to purchase two or three more.

This adaptor fits over (or replaces) a 2 1/2-inch exhaust port and can be cut, stretched, or clamped to fit nearly any vacuum cleaner hose between 5/8-inch to just over 2-inches. The rubber-like material can be stretched (occasionally with some effort) to fit tight connections. I've even fit this over exhaust ports the same size. Soap with a little water (and rubber gloves to improve grip) can help with really tight connections. Loose connections can be secured wih hose clamps. Hoses can fit either inside and over the various incremental sections. Unused sections can be cut away with a razor knife (box cutter, etc) or power tool (bandsaw, etc).

In one application, I replaced a bolt-on exhaust port with this adaptor (that's what the four screw holes are for) and then cut the oppposite end to fit my vacuum hose. With other applications, the large ends were simply slipped over existing exhaust ports, with the opposite ends again cut to fit my vacuum hose. Finally, several were used to add exhaust ports to home-built projects (downdraft table, etc).

This adapter may not impress others or attract girlfriends, but it often does wonders with vacuum cleaner hose connections.

5TOOL ADAPTORAug 17, 2001
By T ADAMS
THIS IS THE BEST, AND PROBABLY THE ONLY TOOL ADAPTOR OUT THERE. I HAVE A SHOP VAC THAT HAS 2 DIFFERENT SIZED HOSES THAT DID NOT FIT THE EXHAUST ON MY SANDER, THE COMPANY DID NOT MAKE AN ADAPTOR TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, SO I FOUND THE ADAPTOR AT MY LOCAL HARDWARE STORE, CUT IT TO FIT THE SANDER, AND PLACED IT ON MY SHOP VAC HOSE. THE HOSE NOW STAYS ON THE SANDER FOR ALL DIFFERENT TYPES/HEIGHTS OF SANDING. THIS TOOL SOLVED A MAJOR PROBLEM OF KEEPING THE DUST IN MY WORK AREA DOWN. THIS ADAPTOR IS A MUST FOR EVERY OWNER OF A SANDER, ROUTER, PLANER, OR ANY OTHER PORTABLE POWER TOOL THAT GENERATES SOME TYPE OF DUST.

3Nearly universal...May 13, 2009
By Grumpy "G"
FYI this will not work with Ryobi tablesaws which have an exit tube exactly the same diameter as the large end.

This should be called the nearly universal vacuum adapter

A plea: Ryobi, ridgid, husky and anyone else making tools and shop vacs. Please make a frickin standard size and include relevant adapters with your tools, particularly a male to male and female to female. I'm tired of running back and forth to buy adapters all the time and then having to make my own with plumbing parts, string, jello and duct tape.

4Want measurements on this adapter? I did.Jan 16, 2012
By desert rat "jeff baby"
I knew I was guessing as I could not find the exact measurements for this adapter's capacities. I am research oriented and checked multiple websites, product listings and reviews to try to learn the sizes offered by this unit. I could not find them given anywhere so I bought this with fingers crossed.

Here are the measurements of the adapter by Shop Vac 90687. OD are 2.5" 2.0" 1.5" 1.25" and 1.0". (Most manufacturers cite the OD ((Outer diameter)) when listing a measurement).
The measurements for the inner diameter were 2.3" 1.5" 1.25" 1.0" and .75". By the way, the overall length before you cut it down at all is 6.75". I cut off the last 2 smaller sections and the length was reduced to 4.35". Either length may not work for your needs if space is tight.

Ultimately this unit did not work out for my application. Now that you have the measurements posted, I hope this helps some of you as it is going to work if your requirements align. I will keep mine since I cut it to measure and hope to use it on something in the future.
