Milwaukee Tool 48-20-2100 High Vacuum Adapter 3 in

Product Description

The MILWAUKEE TOOL 48-20-2100 is a 3-inch high vacuum adapter designed to connect vacuum systems to SDS Plus drill bits during rotary hammer drilling operations. Measuring 6.25 inches in length with a 2.5-inch height and 2.5-inch width, this adapter channels dust and debris away from the work surface and into an attached vacuum, helping maintain a cleaner jobsite and reducing airborne particulate. It weighs 0.32 pounds, making it lightweight enough for overhead or confined-space use. HVAC technicians, electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who core or drill into concrete and masonry rely on vacuum adapters like this one to comply with silica dust control requirements on commercial and residential jobsites.

This adapter is suited for use in applications where SDS Plus rotary hammers are used to drill into concrete, block, brick, or similar masonry substrates. Typical install scenarios include penetrations for conduit, pipe sleeves, anchor points, and structural fasteners. The adapter attaches between the drill chuck area and a standard vacuum hose, capturing dust at the source. It is particularly useful on enclosed jobsites or in occupied spaces where dust control is a priority or a regulatory requirement under OSHA silica exposure standards.

Key Features

• Compatible with SDS Plus drill bits for direct source dust capture during drilling
• 3-inch vacuum port size for integration with standard vacuum hose connections
• Compact and lightweight at 0.32 pounds for easy handling in tight or overhead spaces
• Overall length of 6.25 inches keeps drill-to-surface clearance manageable
• Single-piece adapter design simplifies attachment and removal between drilling tasks

Compatibility

Compatible with SDS Plus drill bits. Designed as an OEM-style accessory for use with SDS Plus rotary hammer drills that accept standard vacuum adapter connections.

Installation Notes

This adapter is typically installed by electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, or general contractors using SDS Plus rotary hammer drills. Before attaching or removing the adapter, power down and unplug the drill or remove the battery pack. Ensure the vacuum hose connection is secure before beginning drilling to maintain effective dust collection. Follow applicable OSHA Table 1 silica dust control requirements for the specific drilling task and substrate type.
