The EDCO 15153 is a 3-inch to 2-inch cuff adapter for the EDCO Vortex-300 dust collection vacuum. It lets a 2-inch hose attach to the Vortex-300's 3-inch port. Floor-prep contractors, concrete grinding crews and saw operators need this when the hose or tool they want to use is a 2-inch size but the vacuum port is 3 inches. Without an adapter, crews improvise with tape and reducers, which leaks air and lets fine dust escape. A purpose-made cuff seals the connection so the vacuum can pull the way it is designed to.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 15153 adapter do?
It attaches a 2-inch hose to the 3-inch port of an EDCO Vortex-300.
Will it fit other vacuums?
EDCO lists it as a Vortex-300 accessory. If you use another vacuum, measure the port and hose before ordering.
Why use an adapter instead of tape?
A cuff makes a tighter, repeatable connection so the vacuum keeps its suction and less fine dust escapes into the air.
Which tools can I pair with a Vortex-300?
EDCO says its vacuum systems work with floor grinders, turbo grinders, scarifiers, scabblers, concrete saws, hardscape and masonry saws.
How do I control silica dust when cutting concrete or masonry?
Cutting concrete and masonry releases respirable crystalline silica. NIOSH recommends water suppression or a shrouded tool connected to a HEPA vacuum, plus respiratory protection. Plan your dust control before the blade goes on the saw.
