DEWALTDWV9170 1.25-Inch Od Tool Adapter

After a few years of getting too much sawdust in my lungs, and being too lazy to tape a hose in place on different dust ports, I decided I should do something to make dust collection easier.Dewalt seemed to be including their airlock system on the newer tools, and it checked all the boxes (no more single use taping; letting the hose spin freely).I know there's a lot of confusion around how to make it work with the adapters, so while the star rating is for this product, what follows is a summary and brief review of all the pieces I know of in the system (not including the many geared toward concrete drilling).Overall, it seems like a great system with too little up front help to get the right parts.Hopefully this helps everyone's lung health.Collectors-DWV9000 Universal ConnectorThis is the piece that attaches to your collection hose. It threaded onto my Shop Vac hose well, but takes a small amount of force the first time to start the threads.You may have to trim the hard plastic end of the hose some, but it attaches well to all the airlock tools and adapters.N273733 Dust BagSince the dust bags that came with the tools would no longer work, I bought an airlock dust bag for when I wasn’t using the vacuum. I believe it is the same one that comes with the newer sanders.There's an odd design choice here. The dust bag fits well on specific tool adapters and tools with airlock built into them, but it didn't fit any of the generic adapters. They are 3/16th of an inch too long on the airlock side.I ended up trimming 3/16th of an inch off the adapters I attached to the sander and miter saw and then it worked fine.Specific Tool Adapters-DCP580 20V MAX Brushless Planer - Has an airlock port molded right into the body, no adapter needed.DWE575DC - Airlock port for circular saws. Fits the DCS570 well.DWB-N564892/DWB-N575480 - Airlock dust shoot & shield for DCS334 and DCS335 jigsaws. For some reason these were not released in the US. I've trying ordering them online, but don't have them to comment on yet.General Airlock Adapters-DWV9170 1.25 inch adapterThis is what you would use to connect your airlock hose back to old Shop Vac size accessories.Seems slightly loose for the 1.25 inch friction fit. I might wrap a bit or tape around it to make it more snug.DWV9140 2-1/4 inch adapterThis fits the main port on the DWE7491 table saw well.DWV9130 and DWV9150 35mm adaptersThese are the same size, but one is straight and one is angled.They both fit well on in the dust port on the DW716 miter saw, the blade guard port on the DWE7491 table saw, the dust port on the D26453 sander, and all the ports on the DNP615, DNP616, DW6913 accessories for Dewalt routers.The straight one is questionable with the clearance on the DW6913 and would probably get in the way on the DNP615 and DNP616.I ended up using the straight one on the table saw, the angled one on the miter saw (after trimming off 3/16th of an inch), and keeping an angled one in with the router.DWV9160 1 inch permanent adapterThis one took me a minute to figure out. It has a removable metal toothed washed inside and is meant to be hammered onto a 1 inch port and never come off.It would fit the dust port on the D26453 sander, and the ports on the DNP615 and DNP616 accessories for Dewalt routers.I didn't use it for the router because a straight port would get in the way. I used this one (after trimming off 3/16th of an inch) to permanently convert the D26453 sander.DWV9110 and DWV9120These are both two part adapters. They have the same hard plastic end that connects to the airlock on one side and screws into the rubber part on the other side.They might fit some Dewalt tools, but the other options are better. The DWV9120 fits the WEN drywall sander well (bypassing the hose that came with it). I haven't found a use for the DWV9110 yet.Other airlock accessories I don't have-DWV9180Converts from airlock to screw threads. It seems to be for a Porter Cable drywall sander.DWV9315 and DWV9316These are billed as replacement hoses for the Dewalt dust extractors, but I think (not sure) that they have male and female airlock ends and can be used as airlock extension hoses.There also seems to be an airlock Y-hose that wasn't released in the US.DWH200DInteresting dust collection for Dewalt drills. The end doesn't look like airlock, but it is according to the product information.DWV2759B and DWV2759Airlock cleaning accessories.

There is nothing more frustrating than shop vac tools that refuse to stay connected to the hose. I have a Fein II shop vac that does a great job even after about six years of use. The problem is always getting attachments to stay connected. For something like my DeWalt orbital sander I would have to resort to duct tape to keep things together no matter what 'universal' adaptor I tried. This thing fits easily and SNUGLY to the hose end of the vac and of course perfectly to the sander and about six other tools/nozzles etc. Excellent product worth every penny!

This fits the router vacuum attachment for the cordless router. Dewalt’s vacuum attachments work great but are a complete nightmare when it comes to finding out what pieces go to what tools.

I have the DWV010 & use it with my DWS520 track saw, DWS780 miter saw, & DWS745 table saw. I ran into an issue where I needed to vacuum up some saw dust & to clean up the area I was working once I was finished. I have a small ShopVac that I carry in my truck & didn't want to have to haul it in the house when I already had the DWV010 there, but I didn't have a way to use my ShopVac wand with the DWV010. I purchased this adapter inserted it into my 1.25" wand & it works great, so now I can use the DWV010 to clean up any sawdust on the floor as well. I did wrap some electrical tape around this adapter before I inserted it into the wand to make it more air tight.

This DWV9170 is slightly under specified 1.25” dimension. Enough that it would not fit my Hoover 1.25” vacuum wand and attachments. I used micrometer and OD is 1.23” and ID is .97”. I don’t know why DeWalt doesn’t provide the ID (inside diameter) for these adapters; there is a lot of different brands and equipment out which people are trying to connect/convert to the DeWalt DWV system. The ID would be helpful in these cases.Also, if anyone is wondering, this particular adapter is hard plastic of some kind. You MIGHT be able to soften it with heat if you need to modify… I didn’t have the need to try.

I have lost track of which adaptors fit which tools and I found it easier to just keep the adapters on the tools. If you buy a the DWV012save yourself a ton of hassle and just add each adapter to your cart. Between DEWALT tools using several sizes, and Bosch or Festool use 27 & 36 mm hoses usually. Anyway, it’s easier to have too more than u need that start using gaffers tape and rig the dust collection hoses.

I purchased the DEWALT Router Fixed/Plunge Base Kit, Variable Speed, 1.25-HP Max Torque (DWP611PK) and DEWALT Dust Collection Adapter for Plunge Base Routers, Compact Router (DNP616) and the DNP615. The DEWALT DWV9170 1.25-Inch Od Tool Adapter does not fit without modification. DeWalt said it seems to be an machining error and suggested I rem out the opening for a better fit!!!!!!!!!! You have to be joking. That is quality control?????????

I bought this to use with DWV9000 and allow me to use 1.25" tools without having to take the DeWalt quick connector on and off the hose all the time. Would have been better if it was a little longer and tapered slightly.

Excellent.

Didn't work for my needs.
