Nilfisk hose to fit festool ts55

[Daillewellyn]

Hi. Can anyone help? I have a Nilfisk alto 25 vac and want to get a short end fitting for the festool ts55? Can you suggest where I can source one? Dai Cardiff

I know this item seems expensive for a piece of silicone rubber but it does do the job and is what I use to connect my Numatic extractor to a Ts55 and other power tools:

Something here that would do the job?

Nilfisk (Alto-Wap) designed and manufactured Festo vacs for decades. Their 27mm 3.5 metre hose is what you need. They supply it to Stihl and Makita too in both standard and antistatic.
I would avoid the lash up solutions as they are clumsy and spoil work - connectors fall out ,joints snag on edges, hose ends don't swivel and hose gets tangled, short hoses jerk the tool before you finish the cut etc etc

Yes, I agree with Matt, get the appropriate Nilfisk hose, they work really well.
