Hopefully one of you guys can answer this for me. I know next toi nothing about Shop Vacs. I buy one, plug it in, plug in the hose and off we go. I was at a moving sale the other day, and on impulse bought a pristine used Shop Vac brand unit for a whopping $5. It looks perfect, stainless steel body, everything looks good on it. The problem is, it has no hose, wand or accessories. It's a Shop Vac 5926211 12 gallon 5HP stainless vac. I thought that finding a cheapo hose, wand and accessory kit would be easy, but not so much.
The inlet to the motor on this vac is 2 1/4" ID. I'd like to put a 2 1/4" diameter hose on it. It originally comes with a 1 1/4" hose and kit, but if possible I'd like to use a larger hose to keep it from clogging when I vac up larger debris. I can't find a 2 1/4" kit, all larger hose kits I find are 2 1/2" diameter. So, unless you guys have any other ideas, I guess I'll have to buy a 1 1/2" kit. Do they typically come with some sort of adapter for the 2 1/4" inlet size? Any info you guys might have to lend would be greatly appreciated.
