   I'm looking, too. I thought
   I'm looking, too. I thought I found something at McMaster, but the spiral was opposite the Triton's. It sort of works, jam in in good.

   FWIW, the hose from my Festool vac works fine -- I just push it in, and there's enough give that it makes for a secure fit.

   Before Triton reorganized, I convinced the Canadian rep to send me a 3 foot length.

   This discussion has come up in the past and I inquired of the new NA distributor of the part. They said it was standard hoes.

   I will take my pice into a hose specialist and see if I can get it identified.

   I use a piece of hose from a Shop Vac brand vacuum. I cut a small wedge out of the end to allow the hose to compress a bit, thus reducing its' circumference slightly. This does not thread in directly. Instead, I loosen the screws on the clear plastic plate; insert the hose; and then re-tighten the screws.

   The main problem I have is that the adapter at the other end that connects up to my 2 1/2" Y fitting is a constriction point that clogs frequently. I need a better method to adapt to the 2 1/2".

   I recall wondering where to get the 1.25 in hose and found the correct hose

   in the Ridgid 1 1/4" Accessory 5 piece Detailing Kit

   Ridgid Part No. VT2524

   The hose supplied ois fairly long , enough to set up 2 of these routers in a router table.

   Here is a article I wrote on building a router table for the Triton router.

   still searching...

   I searched the Home Depot and Ridgid tool sites for the VT2524 kit and found nothing. The closest is a VT2534 7 piece car cleaning kit, but the Ridgid site does'nt list the size (altho it is listed under 2 1/2" accessories). The Home Depot site says it has a 1/4" hose!!! It shows 4 in stock at my local store, so I will check next time I am there.

   Also, the link to your router table build does not work.

   Hose

   I tried the 27mm hose from Festool.   The nozzle end fits like a glove,  and that rubber end holds very well.

   Festool Hose

   Wow! At a mere $98 for a 4' hose, do they also include a small boy to hold it in place and turn the vacuum on and off for you??

   Triton Router - dust collection hose

   The hose is a standard household vacuum hose.  I bought a short "leftover" piece at a vacuum repair shop and attached one end to a pvc fitting that I plug into a shop-made wooden adapter

   Triton Router - dust collection hose

   Larry,

   Is this a standard U.S. size hose, or are you in a metric country? Any brand name on it?

   Thanks

   mishing the mash

   With the mish-mash of ID vs. OD sizes on vac fittings, the practical solution is often duct tape.

   Larry Is quite correct, the dust collection port is a standard vacuum cleaner hose.  I went down to a vacuum dealer and their standard wire reinforced hose fit.  I was charged $ 1.75 per foot.
