Ryobi PCL505B Random Orbit Sander Dust Port Size and Vacuum Adapter Guide
The Ryobi PCL505B is the Ryobi ONE+ 18V Cordless 5 in. Random Orbit Sander. A sander makes fine dust that hangs in the air and gets into your lungs. Pulling it at the port keeps the air clean.
The sander has a round dust port on the side. We do not have a confirmed size for it yet, so measure your own port with calipers before you buy. A GulpDust PETG adapter is sized to the port on one end and your shop vac hose on the other end. No tape. No clamps.

Ryobi PCL505B Dust Port: Round, Measure to Confirm the Size
The PCL505B has a round dust port on the side. A community adapter suggests roughly 36 mm inside, but that number is not confirmed and the exact model is still being checked. Treat it as a rough starting point only.
Because the size is not confirmed, do not order to that number alone. Measure your own port with calipers and order to your reading.
Dust pickup matters on a sander because the dust is so fine. It floats in the air instead of falling to the floor. A vac at the port pulls it away before you breathe it. A GulpDust adapter is printed to match the sander port on one end and your vac hose on the other end, once you know your port size.
How to Measure Your Ryobi PCL505B Dust Port
Close caliper jaws around the OUTSIDE of the port stub. That gives you the outer diameter in millimeters. Round to the nearest standard size if your number falls between two.
Next, slide the inside jaws into the port and open them out until they touch the inner wall. That gives you the inner diameter. The inner is what the adapter slides into; the outer tells you how snug the fit will be.
How to Connect a Shop Vac to the Ryobi PCL505B
First, clear any dust out of the port. A clean port gives the best seal.
Press the small end of the PETG adapter into the port. It is a friction fit, so it holds with a firm push. Then press your shop vac hose onto the other end of the adapter. Turn the vac on before you start the cut.
Ryobi PCL505B Dust Collection FAQ
What size is the dust port on the Ryobi PCL505B?+
The port is round. A community adapter suggests roughly 36 mm inside, but that number is not confirmed yet. Treat it as a rough starting point and measure your own port with calipers before you buy.
Does the Ryobi PCL505B work with a regular shop vac?+
Yes, with the right adapter. A standard shop vac hose is wider than the Ryobi dust port. The GulpDust PETG adapter fits the tool port on one end and your vac hose on the other.
Do I need clamps or tape to attach the adapter?+
No. The adapter is a friction fit. You push it onto the port and it holds. The same goes for the vac hose end.
Can I print this adapter myself?+
Yes. You can buy the printed PETG part shipped from the US, or download the STL file and print it at home. We suggest PETG with 3 walls and 25 percent infill.
