How can you make a short flex hose with 1-1/4" OD ends for this vacuum cleaner, so I can use a brush? Or buy?

The long attachment comes off essentially leaving you with a dustbuster that has a round suction hole. I don't think you can buy a hose, but you might be able to rig something up with spare parts.

Hose must be the size of the dust port. A reducer or expander could be coupled to the hose of the vac to make a good fit.

The best way I found is with a vacuum that has a hose attachment and use the soft brush attachment and that should do a pretty good job.

I happened to have a Hyde dustless drywall sander that came with a 1.5" X6' vacuum hose. The hose fits my shop vac on one end. On the saw end I put several wraps of tape so it would snugly fit a 1.5" rubber drain connector. Their usually black flexible rubber about 3 to 4 inches long and have a clamp on each end to snug everything up. Works great for me. When using a 1.5" rigid foam backer to cut on you could use it in your living room and have very little dust if any at all. Very clean!

I just checked the manual. There is no area to hook up a vacuum hose. Sorry.

The attachment was also too large. I had to improvise by buying a rubber bell reducer in one of the big box stores. The reducer with hose clamps can be found in any plumbing store. Take the attachment with you along with the hose to your vacuum

The smallest hose is 1/4" OD. There is a parts list, but that does not provide the hose sizes. TS

Hi danejr, I believe this Airbrush has a 1/4" hose. If not you should be able to find an adapter at your local hardware store.

If a regular vacuum end will not fit this should work. It will not fit on a Eureka, or Dirt Devil it has a smaller diameter.. It is a very nice brush. I was hopping it would fit mine but NOPE!

These brushes are good for all kinds of jobs and your question made me smile because I have actually used these brushes to do that job. The vacuum hose I cleaned was approximately 60" in length and to clean it thoroughly, being able to swirl or rotate the brush was the trick to getting all the debris out of the hose. To do so, I attached a 7' piece of #9 wire using duct tape to the brush handle. Once secure with no sharp edges, I then suspended the hose to allow gravity to help with the gunk exiting the hose while cleaning. I inserted the brush into the hose, I put a 90 degree bend at the end of the 9 wire making a handle I could rotate - I was removing drywall dust I had sucked up during clean-up from construction - some of the dust was damp from the mud or humidity and built up on the inside of the hose within the crevasses/folds. It took about 15 minutes to get the entire hose clean or gunk free - I then rinsed the hose with warm water - hung it up to dry and now looks like new. By the way - the outside of the hose - I cleaned with a shoe brush. I hope this helps.

The hose can easily be shortened simply by removing the curved wand from one end and you can cut the hose to your desired length with a utility knife. Reattach the curved wand to the end you would like to use. The bags are also available for purchase on Amazon.com part number HPB2HPK.

The hose has a 2.5" end that fits perfectly on either my Craftsman shop vac or my Oneida Dust Deputy. It's an excellent hose! It's far more flexible that the Craftsman hoses and easier to work with.

My vac is old. The hose does not fit. I had to modify it. Its a very long and cumbersome hose but i made it work.

No, it would not be. Not because of poor suction but because of the stick design. There is no flex hose that comes with it where you can attach to the vacuum. I would recommend the Miele canister vacuum for your purpose. I also have one of those and it is wonderful.

Using digital calipers, it's little shy of 1 1/4 inches which means standard size attachments from another vacuum won't fit it.

I attach the hose to my brush pole. Its a hard fit but it works, The only problem I have is that I need an extension for the main drain end because the one it has, has that valve that opens and closes which does not allow for full suction

Hi. You use the larger black attachment in the kit that has a large opening and a small opening. You fit the larger opening to the hose of you vacuum cleaner, attach the small hose to the smaller opening then attach whichever attachment you will need to that. Hope I answered this correctly for you.
