The size doesn't fit me

The quality is good. Thickness is ok. The inlet size is ok but the two outlets are too big except for the hose from my Ridged vacuum.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Will not fit standard 2 1/2 " vacuum hose.

Purchased for use with a dust collector and shop vacuum with 2 1/2" hose fittings. This will not work without tape as this fitting is too large for a standard 2 1/2 industrial vacuum hose. Disappointing!

Pros
  • Pleasing
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Not suitable for Shopvac hoses.

Not happy that I have to find a way to connect my shop's vacuum hoses. To update. Can't find anything that fits inside or outside unless I've spent $$$ on a carpenter's rubber tie. Wouldn't buy again. Should have trusted the reviews.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I won't say anything

WILL NOT FIT your 2 1/2 " hose with no connector.

This item will NOT fit the hose it should have. This is NOT the connector it should have. I have 3 Bought one piece to make it smaller Hose is 4 1/2" to 2 1/2" and all need fittings Friction end is useless Powertech mislabels/misrepresents its products We are sending all today 3 items back.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Will not fit 2-1/2 " dust hoses or fittings

Very disappointing! I thought Powertec was a quality brand but none of my 2-1/2" hoses fit any of the three ports. I also have a collection of male and female adapters and none of them fit. Sloppy quality control? The standard for 2.5 dust fittings is a nominal 2-1/2" outside diameter and 2-1/4" inside diameter. This fitting is 2-7/32" ID and 2-15/32" OD. This. normal internal connectors do not go through and normal male connectors do not go in.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • -

I ordered various Powertec couplers and a large dust cap to make a dust cap/collection system for my table saw. I deliberately ordered all products from the same brand to avoid problems with the choice. Unfortunately nothing fits my vacuum cleaner hose or inlet. Sometimes the specified joint diameter is the outside diameter, sometimes the inside diameter. Is it really that difficult to include both the inner and outer diameters in the product description? The elements work as designed if a…

Pros
  • Free Hand
Cons
  • Very Expensive
