Short answer
Bosch puts a VAC002 vacuum hose adapter in the ROS20VSC box and names the VAC002 or VAC024 for 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 in vacuum hose. Bosch also lists its own 22 mm and 35 mm hoses, including the VAC005. The catch: Bosch does not give the port's diameter, and the adapter list applies to this sander, not to Bosch's other sanders.

Watch out for
- Bosch's adapter list here is for the ROS20VSC. Its diagram for other Bosch sanders (GEX, ROS65VC) could not be read, so do not carry this answer over to them.
- The VAC005 page names the ROS20VS; the ROS20VSC's own page lists the VAC005 among compatible hoses, so both pages agree on that hose.
- Bosch lists hoses in two sizes, 22 mm and 35 mm. Those are two hose families, not one port size.

Questions
Which adapter comes with the ROS20VSC?
Bosch lists a VAC002 vacuum hose adapter in the box.[1]
Can I connect a 1-1/4 in shop-vac hose?
Bosch names the VAC002 or VAC024 for 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 in vacuum hose. It names no other brand's hose cuff, so a given hose end is not confirmed; the sander port guide explains what to check.[1]
