Looking for a quick detach solution for hooking my shop vac to my router table. Found a reducer at a box store but it’s flimsy plastic crap and costs $12. Was thinking of using a 2.5” PVC elbow so that I can keep the table closer to the wall and then rigging up a connection to that.

Considerations:
I have space but not so much that I can get sloppy with how I use it.

I’m only running the router table a few minutes here or there so a large expensive/intricate dust collection system would be overkill (at this time).

Thanks again guys!

Don't know what size ends you need, but as an example ... what about a fitting like this ?

Good lord I never even thought about one of those. That’s why I ask here! Dust port on the table is 2.5” and the shop vac (I think) is a 1.5”.

I only thought of this from having used one a couple months ago.

This one may work ...

Ha! Those had never occurred to me, either! Thanks, old dino!

It nearly always pays to ask the SF Oracle

Magport may have something that will do ya, if not, Rockler has a pretty good array of fittings.

Here's one. Link

A 3d printer & 5 minutes of CAD time & I've got whatever vac adapters I need.
But you wanted a cheap solution....

Perhaps a PVC union like this one would work.

Woodcraft sells some decent dust collection supplies.
