Product Description
70500 4" to 2-1/2" Magnetic Dust Connector — Instant Hose Connection. No Clamps. No Tools. No Fuss.
Hose clamps, friction fits, and tape are how shops used to connect dust collection hoses to machines. The POWERTEC 70500 Magnetic Connector makes all of that obsolete. Armed with 8 high-strength neodymium rare earth magnets, this connector snaps onto any compatible POWERTEC steel ring port receiver with a satisfying click — creating a secure, airtight 4" to 2-1/2" connection that holds tight during operation and releases cleanly the moment you need to move to the next machine. No tools. No wrestling. No downtime between cuts.
This is the hose-side half of the POWERTEC magnetic dust collection system — the connector that rides on your 4" hose and docks to receivers installed at each machine port throughout your shop. Whether you run a dedicated dust collector, a shop vac, or both, the 70500 turns your single hose into a fast-move, quick-connect tool that follows your workflow across every machine in the shop. For the complete system in one box, the POWERTEC 70504 Magnetic Dust Collection Fittings Kit includes connectors, receivers, and cuffs together. Note: hose clamps for hose attachment are sold separately.
Key Features & Benefits
8 Neodymium Magnets — Airtight Hold, Clean Release
- The connector ring houses 8 high-strength neodymium rare earth magnets evenly distributed around the mating face, creating a strong, evenly distributed magnetic clamping force that seals the connection airtight during operation — no suction loss, no mid-cut disconnects.
- Despite the holding strength, the magnetic interface releases smoothly with a deliberate pull — no prying, twisting, or tool use required when it's time to move the hose to the next machine.
- Neodymium magnets maintain their holding force over years of daily connect-disconnect cycles, unlike foam gaskets or rubber friction fits that degrade and loosen over time.
Instant Tool-Free Hose Connection — From Machine to Machine in Seconds
- Eliminates hose clamps, friction adapters, and tape from the machine-switching routine — dock and undock the hose in a single motion, keeping your shop pace on track between operations.
- Works with POWERTEC steel ring port receivers (sold separately, including 70499) installed at each machine port — once receivers are in place, every hose move in your shop becomes a one-second operation.
One-Hose Multi-Machine System — No Permanent Ducting Required
- Move a single 4" dust collection hose between your table saw, planer, jointer, band saw, sander, and other machines without permanent ductwork, blast gates, or secondary hose runs consuming floor space and budget.
- Ideal for small shops, flexible shop layouts, and hobbyist setups where running dedicated drops to every machine isn't practical — the magnetic connector system delivers professional-grade dust collection mobility on a real-world shop budget.
ABS Construction — Built for the Shop, Not the Showroom
- Impact-resistant ABS housing handles the daily bumps, drops, and knocks of a working shop environment without cracking, deforming, or losing its magnetic mating geometry.
- Lightweight construction keeps the connector from adding awkward weight to the hose end, maintaining comfortable hose handling during frequent machine-to-machine moves throughout the workday.
Part of the POWERTEC Magnetic Dust Collection System
- The 70500 is the hose-side connector in the POWERTEC magnetic dust collection ecosystem — pairs with steel ring port receivers at 2-1/2" machine ports and flex cuffs for a complete quick-connect dust collection setup across your entire shop.
- For the full system in one purchase, the POWERTEC 70504 Magnetic Dust Collection Fittings Kit bundles connectors, receivers, and cuffs together. Hose clamps for hose attachment are sold separately.
