Key Features
Cord and Hose TogetherThe integrated Plug It cord runs inside the sleeve with the suction hose, so you are managing one line instead of two. That means less snagging on corners, benches, and finished surfaces while sanding. Smooth Protective SleeveThe fabric sleeve covers the hose ribbing so it glides across workpieces more cleanly. If you sand painted panels, veneered stock, or finished edges, that matters. Festool Suction Hose ReachAt 10 m or about 32.8 ft, this Festool suction hose gives you room to move around larger assemblies and benches without dragging the extractor every few minutes.
Overview
The Festool D 32/22x10m-AS-GQ/CT USA Suction Hose is a tapered dust extraction hose built for sanding setups that need clean movement, integrated power connection, and long reach. This is a suction hose designed for dust extraction during sanding applications. Model 201778 combines a 10 m hose, an integrated 16 AWG Plug It cord, and a protective sleeve so your sander and extractor work as one system instead of a tangle of separate lines.
What makes this hose different is not just the length. The hose tapers from 32 mm down to 22 mm, which helps it pair with tools that use a smaller connection while still maintaining the extraction side needed at the vacuum end. Festool also includes a rotating adapter and reducing sleeve with bayonet fitting, which matters because a hose that twists freely is easier to use for finish sanding, edge work, and longer passes across sheet goods or panels.
The sleeve is the feature most users notice first once they put it to work. Standard ribbed hoses can catch on the edge of a bench, drag across a finished face, or leave you fighting the hose instead of watching the surface. Here, the sleeve shrouds the hose so it slides more smoothly over material and table edges. If you spend time sanding doors, cabinet parts, trim, or painted stock, that smoother outer surface is not fluff. It helps protect the work and keeps your motion more consistent.
The integrated Plug It cord is another real-world improvement. Instead of running a separate power cord alongside the hose, the cord is built into the hose assembly. That keeps the setup cleaner and cuts down on hang-ups when moving around a bench or repositioning on a larger panel. On sanders, especially compact finish sanders used for long sessions, that cleaner cable management makes the whole setup feel less busy in your hands.
This hose is also antistatic, which is a big deal in dust extraction. Antistatic construction helps reduce static buildup in the hose during use, which supports smoother dust movement and a cleaner-feeling setup. Festool rates it for temperatures up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit or 70 degrees Celsius, so it is built for shop conditions where heat resistance matters more than it would on a basic household vacuum hose.
Compatibility is clearly aimed at Festool sanding systems. Festool lists this hose as suitable for all sanders with D 27 hose connection and Plug It connection, along with CT 15, CT 25, CT MINI/MIDI from model year 2019, CTC MINI/MIDI, and CT 26/36/48 dust extractors. It is described as the ideal partner for ETS EC sanders, but it also works with many existing Festool tools that use the same connection style.
Who should buy it? If you already run Festool extractors and sanders and want the cleanest, least annoying hose-and-cord setup possible, this is the premium answer. It is especially useful for cabinet shops, finish carpenters, remodelers, and serious DIY users who sand large surfaces or move around benches a lot. If you just need a basic short hose, this is more than you need. If smooth handling and system integration matter every day, this is exactly the kind of accessory that earns its keep.
Cleaner Movement While Sanding
This setup is built to make sanding less awkward. The hose and power cord are managed together, which cuts down on snags and helps the tool move more freely across the work.
- Integrated 16 AWG Plug It cord works with many Festool tools
- Designed specifically for sanding applications
- Sleeve helps the hose move across edges and surfaces more smoothly
Built to Connect Securely
A loose hose connection wastes suction and gets old fast. Festool uses a rotating adapter and reducing sleeve with bayonet fitting so the hose stays connected and can still move as you work.
- Tapered hose diameter goes from 32 mm to 22 mm
- Rotating adapter helps reduce hose twist during use
- Bayonet-style connection supports a more secure tool hookup
Long Reach Without Constant Repositioning
The 10 m length is a real advantage when you are working around larger benches, sheet goods, doors, or built-ins. You get more freedom to move the tool without having to drag the extractor into a new spot every few minutes.
- Length: 33 ft (10 m)
- Antistatic hose construction
- Temperature resistant up to 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 degrees Celsius)

Pro Tip
If you are using an ETS EC sander on doors or sheet goods, let the sleeve ride on the edge of the bench instead of hanging the bare hose over it. That is where this setup pays off because the covered hose slides easier and is less likely to mark the work or tug the sander off your line.

This is the hose you buy when you are tired of fighting cord drag, hose snags, and awkward movement every time you sand a large surface.
- Who it’s for: Festool users running ETS EC sanders or other compatible sanders and CT extractors who want a cleaner, more controlled dust extraction setup.
- Why it stands out: The integrated Plug It cord, antistatic hose, smooth protective sleeve, and secure bayonet connection make it feel like a complete system instead of a pile of attachments.
- Worth knowing: This is a premium accessory aimed at users already in the Festool ecosystem. If you will actually use the full 10 m reach and care about smooth hose handling, the value is easy to justify.
