This hose is very flexible.. I think that pvc connections would work..You might need large clamps or wire ties to secure in place.

I use a Jet DC-650M, a relatively small dust collector, with a cyclone pre-stage through a 4 inch plastic hose. I never have "dust" shooting out the front. I see lots of small "shreds" flowing up the hose. Remote possibility: is the shop vac blowing instead of sucking?

The Dust Deputy connects to a ShopVac using a 2-1/2" connector. It is connected to tools via a 2-1/2" connector which can connect to the stationary tool using a larger hose with a reducer, i.e. 4" to 2-1/2"

Unfortunately I am uncertain if it is suitable for PVC pipes because I have metal pipes, but this stuff works great and instantly. Be careful when using the products because after the hot water is poured - the fumes can be toxic and you start to cough and your eyes begin to get watery, so wear a mask. Alternatively in my opinion i think as long as you don't use the product excessively and you are removing a difficult clog this product used without excess should be fine.

Same answer here Joe, it should fit to your shop vac. One thing I might add is to make sure you use a cloth or paper filter on your shop vac, especially if doing this sanding in living areas. It's a real fine dust!

Yes. The bucket and hose set-up is just a water trap for the drywall dust. It keeps the dust from ruining your shopvac or other vacuum source. The dust gets pulld into the water and settles there leaving relatively little dust in the airstream entering the vac.Do be careful, howver, not to kick over the bucket while sanding as it could sent a shot of water up into your vac. Not too big an issue if using a wet/dry vac but more cataqstrophic if not using a water-proof vac.

yes, it would but absent a specific reason to use a HEPA vac to do that (eg: the water is full of asbestos) I would just use a cheap shop-vac .. the consumables (filters, etc.) are way to expensive for the Festool to use it as a general purpose vacuum. Credit to the clever Germans the HEPA filter is horizontal at the top so you could (in theory) fill the entire base of the unit with water and not get anything wet, whereas in a standard shop-vac you can only get a few inches before the filter gets soaked. The Festool is a good vac with a very specific purpose (like sanding drywall or lead paint indoors) .. for everything else there are better and cheaper alternatives.

I also have a small shop. I have been using this unit as dust collection with no problems with leakage.

We have about 50ft of PVC pipe connected to the exhaust port running out of the shop into the dust graveyard, it has PLENTY of push to blast it out on its own power. At our other shop, I plan to rig a trash can with screened vent holes to collect the dust. No vac required on this baby

This will fit a shop vac IF the smaller hose is used. It will not work on the larger 2" hose many shop vacs use.

Yes, but maybe you will find a little a problem to make the pipe properly hold in the saw. Get a miter saw if you going to cut PVC.

I'm not an expert, but I don't believe this is an applicable hose for that type of use. This is a hose for use after a regulator.

I don't know. I use a regular garden hose for Home Depot and that worked fine.

Yes. Plug hose into exhaust port and you are good to go. It will not be as powerful as a dedicated unit but will work for light job e.g sawdust. I carry this on my airsteam and it works geat.

This hose is labeled to be used as an outdoor house only. You should take the extra time and expense and do it right with a rigid pipe

I would guess that a shop vac would have a harder time keeping up with the shavings because the hose is so small compared to a dust collector that uses a 4" hose. Plus if you would do alot of planing at one time, a shop vac would fill up pretty quickly. In other words, I think that you'd have better results with a dust collector.

Bill,I haven't used the dust collector much since I bought it and don't yet have any experience with a 1-1/2" hose. I have however used it with my radial arm saw. I have a collection hood behind the blade connected with a 4" pipe. Very little blow by, great suction. As I said, my experience with the machine is limited at this time, but what experience I have is really good. I'm excited to use it more.
