Key Features
Cleaner Sanding SetupThis Festool suction hose is built for sanding applications, giving you dust extraction and cord management in one line. That means less drag behind the sander and a cleaner surface while you work. Protective Nylon SleeveThe 100% nylon sleeve helps the hose glide over edges and finished stock instead of hanging up on corners. If you sand painted panels, veneered parts, or other show surfaces, that matters. Plug It IntegrationAn integrated Plug It cord runs with the hose so you are not fighting separate lines across the bench. It is a cleaner, more controlled setup for ETS EC sanders and other compatible Festool tools.
Overview
The Festool D27/22x5m-AS-GQ/CT USA Suction Hose is a tapered dust extraction hose with an integrated Plug It cord and protective sleeve for sanding setups. This is a suction hose designed for dust extraction during sanding. Model Number 201761. If you run Festool sanders and want better hose control, less surface scuffing, and a cleaner path from tool to extractor, this is the hose built for that job.
What makes this hose different is how it combines several jobsite annoyances into one cleaner system. The hose is antistatic, it includes a rotating adapter, and it comes with a reducing sleeve with bayonet fitting. In real use, that means the hose is easier to connect, less likely to twist you up while sanding, and better suited for a controlled dust extraction setup with compatible Festool CT extractors and sanders.
The tapered hose design matters more than it sounds on paper. Tool Nut lists the diameter as tapering from 32 mm to 22 mm, and Festool identifies it as D27/22. That smaller end helps it pair properly with compatible sanders, while the overall setup stays light enough at the tool end to improve handling. When you are sanding for long stretches, especially on horizontal panels or vertical face work, reducing hose bulk at the tool makes the whole setup feel less awkward.
The sleeve is one of the big reasons people step up to this hose. Festool says the protective cover is made from 100% nylon and was developed to improve handling while protecting surfaces. The practical takeaway is simple: a bare ribbed hose can catch on material edges and drag across finished work. This sleeved design glides more easily over corners and benchtops, which helps keep your workflow moving and lowers the chance of marking up sensitive surfaces.
The integrated Plug It cord is another real-world advantage. Instead of managing a separate power cord and hose as two loose lines, this setup keeps them together. That is especially useful when paired with Festool sanders that use the Plug It connection. It cuts down on snag points, keeps the work area tidier, and makes it easier to move around a bench or a large panel without constantly repositioning cords.
Festool also rates this hose as temperature-resistant up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit, or 70 degrees Celsius. That is worth noting for shop use where hoses may see warm environments, extended tool run time, or regular extraction duty. Add in the antistatic construction and smooth outer design, and you get a hose that is clearly aimed at finish-focused sanding rather than generic vacuum duty.
Compatibility is specific and important here. Festool lists this hose as suitable for all sanders with a D 27 hose connection and Plug It connection, as well as CT 15, CT 25, CT MINI and CT MIDI from model year 2019, CTC MINI and CTC MIDI, and CT 26, CT 36, and CT 48 extractors. If you are already in the Festool dust extraction system, this hose makes the most sense as an upgrade for smoother sanding and cleaner tool-to-extractor integration.
Who should buy it? Woodworkers, finish carpenters, cabinet installers, and painters doing fine prep work will get the most out of it. If your sanding work happens on finished parts, edge-banded panels, tabletops, built-ins, or painted surfaces, the sleeve and integrated cord setup are not gimmicks. They solve real handling problems and make the system easier to live with day after day.
Built to Move Smoothly Across Finished Surfaces
The whole point of this hose is to make sanding feel less cluttered and less grabby. The sleeve helps the hose travel over edges and the integrated cord keeps the setup from turning into a tangle behind the tool.
- Developed for sanding applications where surface protection and easy movement matter
- Protective sleeve helps prevent the hose rib from catching on material and worktable edges
One Connection Path for Hose and Power
If you are used to fighting a cord and a hose separately, this setup is a noticeable improvement. The integrated Plug It cord keeps your sanding station neater and easier to manage on benches, doors, and large panels.
- Integrated Plug It cord is compatible with Festool Plug It tools
- Rotating adapter helps reduce twisting at the tool connection
Tapered Design Improves Handling at the Tool
A hose that is too bulky at the tool can make a sander feel clumsy. This one tapers from 32 mm to 22 mm, which helps keep the working end more manageable while still maintaining extractor connection where you need it.
- Tapered hose diameter: 32 mm to 22 mm
- Designed as the ideal partner for ETS EC sanders and compatible existing Festool sanders
A Complete Hose for Festool Dust Extraction Setups
This is not just a plain replacement hose. It is a purpose-built Festool sanding hose with antistatic construction, a sleeve, and the fittings needed for compatible extractor and tool connections.
- Length: 5 m or 16.5 ft for better reach around benches and work zones
- Temperature-resistant up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit or 70 degrees Celsius

Pro Tip
If you sand finished panels or painted parts, keep the sleeved side supported on the bench edge instead of letting a bare hose hang and drag. That is where this Festool hose earns its keep because the sleeve and integrated cord move together and are less likely to snag the work.

Tool Nut’s Take
Festool D27/22x5m-AS-GQ/CT USA Suction Hose for finish-focused sanding setups
This is the Festool hose you buy when you are tired of a standard hose fighting you every time you sand a panel or edge.
- Who it’s for: Festool users doing sanding work in cabinet shops, finish rooms, paint prep, and install work where hose handling actually affects the result.
- Why it stands out: The integrated Plug It cord, sleeved outer cover, tapered diameter, and antistatic design make it a more refined setup than a basic extractor hose.
- Worth knowing: This is a system-driven accessory, so compatibility matters. Make sure your sander has the D 27 hose connection and Plug It setup, and check your extractor model before you buy.
