![Plumbing Coupling Provides Quick Hose Connection](https://www.woodworkersjournal.com/wp-content/uploads/Plumbing-Coupling-Vacuum-Connector-TT-Lead.jpg)
A rubber coupling with hose clamps on the ends provided a quick and handy way for me to connect my random orbit sander to a shop vacuum hose. You can find the couplings in the plumbing section of any hardware store. The 2″ x 2″ size fits many sander dust ports, and you can attach the other end directly to a standard shop vacuum hose. These rubber couplings also come in several “reducer” styles, if you need to fit differently sized sander and vacuum hose diameters together.
