I just purchased a DWV012 dust extractor vacuum for our company. We had been using another brand but the quality has gone down hill and they were not lasting. I am trying to find a different hose cuff for the DWV012 and replace the quick connect with just a swivel end. We keep the vacuums hooked up to a sander all the time so the quick connect is useless for our purposes. It took me several calls to Dewalt just to find out the diameter of the hose to be 1.65″. The hoses for the older vacuums are 1.5″. It is just enough where they will not work. Any help would be appreciated.
Take a look at this page: http://www.dewalt.com/tool-categories/dust-management-dust-extractor-accessories.aspx
All items that start with a “DWV” go to the DWV012.

There are a number of diameter adapters to go from the quick change to pretty much any common diameter. Check out the page on DeWALT.com. Go tools-dust management-dust extractor accessories
Thank you for your help but I want to do away with the quick connect. All of the connections are to connect to the quick connect hose cuff. It is bigger in diameter and adds length to the connection between the hose and sander. We are using 6″ Fein random orbit sander where the connection is not far off of the surface and the hose cuff will hit the top. Again I want to replace the quick connect end.
