Festool IAS 3-3500 AS Antistatic IAS Hose
At a Glance: 3.5 m antistatic 3-in-1 IAS hose for compressed air, dust extraction and exhaust air
The Festool IAS 3-3500 AS is a professional antistatic IAS hose designed for use with Festool compressed air sanders such as LEX 3, LEX 2 and LRS. Instead of running separate lines for air supply, dust extraction and exhaust air, this clever 3-in-1 hose combines everything into one neat system. It connects the sander to a compatible Festool mobile dust extractor or energy box, helping create a cleaner, safer and more efficient sanding setup.
The IAS 3-3500 AS keeps compressed air supply, sanding dust extraction and exhaust air management together in one hose. This improves handling, reduces cable-and-hose clutter and helps keep oil and cold exhaust air away from the work surface and the user’s hands.
Product highlights
- 3-in-1 IAS hose Combines compressed air, dust extraction and exhaust air in one practical hose system.
- Antistatic design Helps reduce static build-up during sanding and extraction work.
- Compatible with Festool pneumatic sanders Suitable for LEX 3, LEX 2 and LRS compressed air sanders.
- IAS 3 and IAS 2 compatibility Works with IAS 3 interface for LEX 3 and IAS 2 interface for LEX 2 and LRS.
- Cleaner sanding results Directs dust extraction and exhaust air through the hose for improved sanding quality.
- Health-conscious air routing Helps keep oil away from the surface and directs cold exhaust air away from hands and lower arms.
- Rotating adapter Supports smoother movement and more comfortable working during sanding applications.
Extra Information
- The Vermont Sales product code is FES497208.
- The Festool Cat No. is 497208.
- The model number is IAS 3-3500 AS.
- Designed for use with Festool pneumatic sanding systems, not standard electric sanders.
- Compatible with IAS 3 interface for LEX 3 and IAS 2 interface for LEX 2 and LRS.
- For correct setup, use compatible Festool IAS fittings, adapters and extraction equipment.
Pro Tips
- Check the interface on the sander before connecting so that the correct IAS 2 or IAS 3 connection setup is used.
- Keep the hose as straight as practical while sanding to maintain smooth airflow and tool movement.
- Inspect the rotating adapter regularly and keep it clean so the hose moves freely during sanding.
- Do not use the hose as a pulling handle for the extractor or energy box. Move equipment by its proper handles to protect the hose and fittings.
- When sanding in oiled mode, make sure the full IAS system is correctly connected so exhaust air and oil mist are routed away properly.
How to Use
- Make sure the compressed air supply, mobile dust extractor or energy box and pneumatic sander are compatible with the IAS hose system.
- Switch off the air supply before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
- Connect the IAS hose to the compatible Festool compressed air sander.
- Connect the other end of the hose to the compatible Festool mobile dust extractor or energy box.
- Check that the compressed air, dust extraction and exhaust air connections are properly seated.
- Set the required air pressure and extraction settings according to the sander and application.
- Start the extraction system before sanding to keep dust removal active during work.
- After sanding, switch off the air supply and extraction system before disconnecting the hose.
- Store the hose neatly without sharp bends, kinks or heavy items placed on top of it.
Features
- Integrated air supply Supplies compressed air to compatible Festool pneumatic sanders.
- Integrated dust extraction Extracts sanding dust through the same hose system when connected to compatible extraction equipment.
- Integrated exhaust air routing Guides exhaust air away through the hose instead of around the user’s working area.
- Antistatic construction Designed in accordance with DIN IEC 312 for antistatic performance.
- Rotating connection Helps prevent twisting and allows smoother tool movement while sanding.
- 3.5 m hose length Gives a practical working reach without unnecessary hose bulk.
Benefits
- Neater setup: One hose manages air, extraction and exhaust, reducing clutter around the workpiece.
- Improved surface quality: Dust extraction and exhaust air control help support cleaner sanding results.
- Better user comfort: The exhaust air guide helps keep cold air away from hands and lower arms.
- Time-saving workflow: The IAS interface is easy to use and helps speed up tool changes.
- Safer sanding environment: Antistatic performance and proper dust extraction help support cleaner, more controlled sanding work.
Application
- Connecting Festool compressed air sanders to a compatible mobile dust extractor.
- Connecting Festool compressed air sanders to a compatible Festool energy box.
- Use with Festool LEX 3 compressed air sanders.
- Use with Festool LEX 2 compressed air sanders.
- Use with Festool LRS compressed air sanders.
- Compressed air sanding in oiled mode.
- Professional sanding where air supply, dust extraction and exhaust air control are required in one hose.
Safety
- Always read and follow the operating instructions for the sander, extractor, air supply and IAS hose system.
- Wear eye, ear and dust protection when sanding or working with compressed air tools.
- Switch off and depressurise the compressed air supply before connecting or disconnecting the hose.
- Do not use damaged hoses, cracked fittings or loose connections.
- Make sure all IAS connections are fully engaged before starting work.
- Do not exceed the operating limits of the connected pneumatic tool or air supply system.
- Keep the hose away from sharp edges, hot surfaces and moving machine parts.
- Do not use the hose for unsuitable liquids, gases or non-approved tools.
- Use proper dust extraction and filtration suitable for the material being sanded.
