Default Dust Collector Hose for Delta Miter Saw?

I used one of these with my Delta saw:

Seemed to work ok, although I found hooking up and turning on the shop-vac
to too much of a pain in the butt unless I was doing a lot of cutting.

I received my JDS Dust Force dust collector yesterday, got it assembled,
and fired it up for the first time. I haven't even hooked it to a tool
yet,
but I'm already envisioning where to run duct work!

Unfortunately, I've already run into my first hurdle. I have a 10" Delta
miter saw, and I've measured the port as 1-1/2" ID. Naturally, a 1-1/4"
shop vac hose is too small, and virtually every adapter I've seen steps
from 1-1/4" to 2".

Ideally, I'd like to run a short length of 1-1/2" hose (if I could find
it)
from the saw up to the wall, then adapt to the 4" main duct.

Any ideas where I can get a 1-1/2" hose to fit the saw, and an appropriate
adapter to connect to the 4"?

Also, does anyone make rigid "antistatic" pvc pipes for duct work. I'd
prefer smooth pipe over the flexible corrugated stuff, but no one seems to
make it. I'd use regular PVC water pipe, but I've heard static buildup is
a
potential danger.

Thanks,

Anthony
