This magnetic 2.5 inch vacuum hose adapter is part of the HoseJoy magnetic hose connector system, providing a fast, frustration-free way to connect Ridgid and Shop Vac hoses without clamps, buttons, or tabs.

Designed specifically for the extremely common 2-1/2″ Ridgid and Shop Vac vacuum hoses, this male adapter allows you to connect one hose to another hose or directly to your dust extractor quickly and securely. In the HoseJoy system, the male end always points toward the vacuum source, creating consistent airflow direction and repeatable connections across your shop.

Powerful N52 neodymium magnets pull the connection into place, while premium rubber O-rings create a secure, airtight seal that won’t loosen during use. A small 1/16-turn twist and gentle pull releases the magnets, making hose changes quick and low-effort—especially helpful for users with arthritis or limited hand strength.

This magnetic 2.5 inch vacuum hose adapter is designed for home workshops and professional shops alike. The clamp-free design eliminates wrestling with hoses and makes switching tools faster and more predictable, so dust collection fades into the background where it belongs.

Part of the HoseJoy system, this adapter works with our tool adapters, vacuum port adapters, blast gates, and hose end adapters (sold separately). If you don’t see the exact adapter you need, message us—we’ll make it and add it to the system.
