I want to connect this vac to Domino XL. How flexible is the hose? Is the material used to make the hose the same as other more generic vac hoses?

While the hose will work, I don't recommend using the Mini. It may not have the capacity to deal with all the shavings and other dust while using the Domino.

Flexible - never run into a problem where it wasn't flexible enough. Seems similar to other hoses as best I recall.

It has a good quality, light and flexible hose. Much, much better than typical hoses found on shop vacs in the big box stores. Mine gets daily use attached to a DA sander for final sanding of doors and panels. Works perfect, no complaints on the hose.

The hose is more flexible than most, it is also anti -static and the vac is so quiet, I highly recommend this unit as a fellow woodworker most all Festool items a great !!!!

Not really. It is specifically for other Festool tools-which it works great with. I am sure you can make it work with some duct tape or some other type of adjustment but may not work as effectively.

The line your looking at will work just fine as long as your not planning on moving it around and changing the fittings. It is a very stiff hose, if you plan on changing things from time to time I would say to go with a more flexable general purpose hose. That is what I use now because I work with hydroponics and change things often.

The hose that is built in to this Hoover vaccum will stretch pretty far. It also comes with what I call a tube extension that will connect to this hose. I kept two similar extension tubes from my old Hoover and they can all be connected together and attached to the hose. I also discovered that the extension tubes that came with my Shop Vac will also work. The wind tunnel t series also comes with a long crevice tool that is handy. I also kept the dusting brush attachment from my old Hoover that will work with this one. Hope this helps.

I've ordered this product and now need a short hose to connect to my manual vaccum. I think it needs to be "male." I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?

-Flexibility is similar to the factory-provided hose. (It does NOT bunch up like an accordion.) -Length is 6-12" Longer -Fits like a GLOVE - snaps right into place. It's like having a whole new vacuum cleaner.

The directions day that the dust collection shroud is designed to wrok with DWV9000 connector. I didn't have that piece and wasn't buying it. As to what size hose I used -- the small shop vac hose and duct tape to seal the two together. (A large shop vac hose was too large.

It would really be helpful if all the people who responded yes or no gave a little more detail--specifically whether they actually own the model U5445-900 and whether they ordered this particular hose from Amazon! I don't own this model, but I do have the U5432. I looked at vacpartswarehouse.com which gives a lot more detail and determined that the hose on Amazon should fit my vac and that it was a much better price on Amazon. Your model vac is listed on vacpartswarehouse and takes the same hose as mine, so I think it would for you, but I can't guarantee it. I'm totally satisfied with it--very good quality.

It does not connect to a shop vac hose at all. I am returning mine. You might be able to cobble an adaptor with duck tape but why bother as other sanders are connectable. The little bag is not adequate for heavy sanding and a shop vac in necessary when doing heavy sanding to keep the dust down.

I have used it with a palm sander. The only issue is with the connection on the hose. You need to insure that you buy DEWALT DWV9120 35mm Rubber Adapter. It is the one I bought and I had to flip it to get it to work. The vac itself is great. No dust is released from the canister. I would research the hose connectors and attachments to insure that you have what you need to connect it. I was able to flip the adapter and push it into the main hose and it worked fine. But I recommend getting the right ones. I am doing that now as well. Great as a dust collector and as a shop vac. We do a lot of interior remodeling and this thing is great for collecting dust and cleaning up and other messes.

Realistically, you are not going to get a satisfactory answer to this. Every company that makes dust collection equipment has a different idea about how to couple their hoses to the collector or vacuum. What you do is you go down to the local hardware store and you find PVC fittings that you can adapt. For this saw, I cut down an old vacuum cleaner hose and then used a length of mountain bike inner-tube to fit tightly over the dust outlet and the vacuum cleaner nozzle end, then snugged everything up with hose clamps.

Thank you for your question. The Bosch ROS20VSK dust port will accept 35mm hoses without an adapter so the Bosch VAC005 vacuum hose will connect directly to the sander. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

It is a thin, extremely flexible hose that is very easy to manipulate. While I can't quantify how small one can wrap it up, I can say that it coils into a remarkably small circle. I am far more pleased with it than with old fashioned, stiff and bulky hoses -- and I think you will be pleased as well.

Is flexible, the hose is flexible. I usually will connect the hose first and screw the pump after, but either way works.

I purchased a Bosch VAC 005 5 meter Vac hose and a fein 921072K3 Step adapter. works like a charm

Not really, just your typical plastic hose. Gilmours headline for this hose is "the last hose you'll ever buy" what they mean is the last hose you'll ever buy from them..... Want a good top-notch rubber hose? lightweight and flexible.....try the Legacy Flexzilla. you wont regret it.

This is a very flexible item. You should be able to maneuver this item through a vacuum cleaner hose or air passages in the vacuum cleaner.

Great Question :) So this is the model D4. On the model D4 the cord from the power nozzle runs up the outside of the hose. Rainbow has a pet tool like what you are thinking of called the Rainbow mate. However it wont work on this model because it requires a electric hose. The next model which we sell sell on Amazon is the Rainbow SE. That model it will work on. You can also buy one for this model. However in order to find it you would need to google "Animal Pet Tool Mini Head upholstery tool attachment for standard vacuum with brushroll" and that will work perfectly on this one. In other words you can buy that attachment or buy a SE Rainbow here on Amazon. Let me know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (Seller) service@greatvacs.com
