The 4 inch quick connect threads onto the hose properly but the slip-fit side is taperd to much and does not have enough of an interference fit to stay connected to my equipment, it falls off while in use.
THIS PRODUCT WORKS WELL WITH FLEX-HOSEJet JW1032 4-Inch x 20-Foot Black Dust Collection Hose AND MAKES IT NICE TO NOT HAVE TO DISCONNECT A HOSE CLAMPGrizzly H5357 10 Pack 4" Wire Hose Clamps TO CHANGE FITINGS
It works very well for my needs My dust collector system has a 4 inch hose and a 2 inch end on the saw (dust connector). So I needed this quick disconnect to attach the two different size hoses together.
It didn't fit my machines. I tried to use this thing to connect to the 4" output of my delta jointer and planer, but it just doesn't fit that great. I don't know if I'm just dumb or what, but I was under the impression that it should attach to any machine with a 4" dust port.
Manufacturing quality isn't great - they are only more-or-less round and given the taper problems and hard plastic, the results aren't good: They don't slide on most machines' dust outlets deeply enough, they don't seat, and they don't fully seal. The plastic is too hard and the taper isn't designed properly. I went back to using the raw hose end, which works fine when using a soft hose. These have a really, really basic problem - they fall off. Another reviewer mentions using duct tape to hold them on - which completely flies in the face of their purpose - to quickly move the hose from machine to machine.
