Cen-Tec Host coupler

[Allan]

I am looking for a way to couple two sections of a 1.25" Cen-Tec hose together. I bought a 30' hose, knowing that it was way too long for dust collection, with the hope of splitting it into a couple of different lengths, one for dust collection, one for vacuuming shop floor, etc.

What would be ideal would be a double-sided quick connect coupler in the style that the hose uses, so that I can quickly connect / disconnect the hose attached to the vacuum to the longer hose or to the other quick-connectors that come with the hose that are now on a variety of tools.

I'm thinking my best bet is someone with a 3d printed version of this that I can order, or someone willing to make one.

Otherwise, I'll just fine something that matches the inner diameter of those hose and rig something that sort of works.

Thanks!
Allan

I have turned woodencustom couplers on my lathe. Just another option

Allan,
I think your 3-D printed version is likely best, an easy way to get up and running quickly is from the plumbing aisle at one of the big box stores and some silicone or RTV to glue it to one end and be able to slip it out of the other... or find a shopvac or Rockler "Dustright" connector that will work...

I think that will work! I looked on Amazon and some other places and never saw that. I should have checked their site, but had it set in my mind that they wouldn’t sell it so that people would buy two hose sets instead of doing what I’m trying to do.

Looks like I’ll need that and a threaded end adapter, that they also sell.

Thank you!!!
