Ron...step away from the channel locks! Don't let them any where near your hose!
Didn't work for this adapter I cobbled to add 2.5" to the end of my hose reel.
Anybody have a better idea?

#1. That is certainly 3M black weatherstrip adhesive.
#2. I used a little bit and it didn't hold worth a darn. Once it came apart I used a bunch more, obviously still didn't hold.
#3. I think I killed about 10% of my brain cells. The solvents in this stuff are crazy.

I think the problem is there isI too much tension as you wrap it around your hose reel. I am just talking about my cuffs not coming loose as they are in use laying on the floor. You probably need to epoxy that if you are going to abuse it on such a short stretch.

use the polyurethane window or roof caulking. its black and drys tough. once together it won't come apart. its almost as strong as rhino lining.

I run with nothing and have no issues. Give them a twist every few jobs and keep them tight. I frequentky change ends to adapt for each job not to mention flash cuffs break easily and it makes it easier to change them.

you know they make an adapter for flash cuffs that takes it down from 2.5 to 2"... Was not sure if you know or were just being cheap. The adapter works very well after you get it in all the way (do not glue the adpater it is too tight. I can post a picture later if you want.
I looked and thought a lot about it. I really couldn't find anything from them that would accomplish exactly what my homemade adapter does.
Has to connect a 2" male with a 2.5" female. If you know of a better way, please let me know.

Not really familiar with the fancy cuffs...but couldn't you use the 2.5 connector and reducer to a 2" female?

The top is 2.5 the bottom is 2.
They may have changed it since I bought one and went with what Fred shows. Mine I did not use the gray barbed piece it is a black piece that is threaded and I thread on the male flash cuff. I think they have changed it since I did mine 6-7 years ago.

This is new since I made mine but I would think is the way to go now:

If the male/female is going the wrong way then I would just have a small section of hose to reverse
it to what you want.
or this one could work too.

Dont you want the male end going to the house?

I had an AH212 on hand and thought at first it had some potential:
but I really don't think so.
It's made for truckmount ports, and I don't see anything short of a 10-ton press getting it internally into 2.5" vac hose.
Maybe I should try to get an AH213 (though apparently they've been discontinued) then a short section of 2" to go from male to female.
I'm not a genius by any means, but I've sketched this out and I can't think of a better way.
Yes I want all male point towards the job. 2.5" section is first off, last on.
but I really don't think so.
