I assume you mean ID ~22mm?

What are you connecting to?

I connect most of my power tools to 50 mm hose so I use the
32-40 mm version of these

and then some regular PVC fittings to connect into the hose.

These adapters clamp down a lot further than indicated and I adjust them so they push on and one turn of a screwdriver is enough to hold them.
The also calm over oval and rounded rectangular ports on power tools.

I have a 26mm ID soft plastic push on fitting that screws on to a hose that I roughly measure at 31mm OD, so I guess it's 32mm. It came as part of a power tool dust hose connection kit that I got as a sample from a Taiwanese supplier. I decided not to import any of the kits because I found that the supplied parts fitted hardly any of my hand held power tools. I've got no idea where you could buy this fitting as a single piece, but it could be worth an internet search.
However, between the fittings suggested by BobL (which do come in a range of sizes) and a scavenge through the radiator/heater hoses at your local automotive specialist (or mechanic if you want one for free) you should be able to cobble together something that is a push on pull off fit to your sander.

I ordered one from Amazon USA. Number is VAC024. Search for the Thread " Bosch GEX 135 Ros - anybody here use one." or "VAC024"

About $40 from memory.

What Lappa said.

Plus as a 'bonus' you can also peruse other amazon tool offerings that are not available here.

$40, ouch! At that price it could be worth having a look at the offerings from Rockler. Rockler - Search Results for small tool dust

$40 was a guesstimate According to Amazon, now AUS$26.22 including shipping to OZ.
