Default shop vac hose conversion

I have a shop vac with a 2.5" hose, I'd like to neck it down to a 1.5"
hose to make it easier to use.
Does anyone know if they make a kit for this?

I have no idea where he got it, but my dad's shop-vac had that setup
when I inherited it. It is a handy piece, I used it the other day on my
commercial rug shampooer (which it also fits) to vac out a toilet for a
wax ring change.


Has anyone ever used the steam cleaner attachment? I ended up with
one, but don't want to go to the trouble of setting up if it won't
work pretty well.

I can see a couple of potential problems, does it have a separate tank
and a pump to put the soap and water to the wand? The other thing would
be the need for a wet type filter in the shop vac, A third would be
just how clumsy it is to move a around.

I thought I saw an 'adaptor' at either home depot, or lowes.
