Festool IAS 2-A-ASA/CT/SRM45/70 Antistatic IAS 2 Connector
At a Glance: Antistatic 58mm connector for joining a Festool IAS 2 hose to compatible CT or SRM dust extractors while providing an integrated compressed-air supply connection.
Create an efficient combined compressed-air and dust-extraction workstation with the Festool IAS 2-A-ASA/CT/SRM45/70 Connector. Designed for the Festool IAS 2 system, this specialised connector joins a compatible IAS 2 hose to selected Festool CT mobile dust extractors, SRM 45 or SRM 70 extractors and EAA energy boxes in EW/DW configuration. Its integrated compressed-air connection allows the pneumatic supply to be routed into the IAS 2 hose alongside the extraction airflow, helping reduce the number of separate hoses surrounding the operator. The antistatic design supports the controlled dissipation of static charge when used as part of a correctly configured antistatic extraction system, making it especially suitable for professional pneumatic sanding installations in workshops, automotive refinishing areas and finishing departments.
The Festool IAS 2 system combines the compressed-air supply, exhaust-air return and dust extraction required by compatible pneumatic tools into a coordinated hose system. This connector forms the essential interface between the IAS 2 hose, the compressed-air supply and the compatible Festool extraction equipment.
Product Highlights
- Dedicated IAS 2 connection: Connects compatible Festool IAS 2 hoses to selected mobile dust extractors and energy-box systems.
- Integrated compressed-air supply: Provides a dedicated connection for feeding compressed air into the IAS 2 hose system.
- Combined workstation setup: Supports compressed-air operation and dust extraction through the coordinated IAS 2 system.
- Antistatic design: Helps dissipate static charge when connected to a complete, correctly grounded antistatic extraction system.
- 58mm external cone: Provides the specified connection interface for compatible Festool extraction equipment.
- Energy-box compatibility: Suitable for compatible Festool EAA energy boxes in EW/DW configuration.
- Professional pneumatic sanding: Ideal for IAS 2 pneumatic tools used in workshops, finishing areas and automotive applications.
- Cleaner working environment: Enables dust to be extracted directly from compatible pneumatic tools during operation.
Extra Information
- The connector is intended for the Festool IAS 2 compressed-air and dust-extraction system.
- It is suitable for compatible CT mobile dust extractors, SRM 45 and SRM 70 extractors and EAA energy boxes in EW/DW configuration.
- It is not compatible with the Festool CT 11, CT MINI or CT MIDI mobile dust extractors.
- The external connection cone has a diameter of 58mm.
- A compatible IAS 2 hose, pneumatic tool, extraction system and compressed-air connection hose are required and are not included.
- The connector does not filter, regulate or lubricate compressed air. A suitable service unit may be required according to the pneumatic tool and extractor configuration.
- The mobile dust extractor must be correctly equipped for pneumatic-tool operation before the connector can be used as part of an automatic extraction system.
- Compatible Festool IAS 2 tools include selected LEX 2 and LRS pneumatic sanders when used with the appropriate complete system.
- Where pneumatic automatic start is used, follow the extractor and tool instructions regarding the required operating pressure and system configuration.
- Always verify compatibility with the exact dust extractor, energy box and pneumatic tool before installation.
Pro Tips
- Install a suitable compressed-air service unit to provide the pressure regulation, filtration and lubrication required by the connected pneumatic tool.
- Check the pneumatic tool&s specified working pressure before operation; compatible Festool automatic-start systems commonly require a correctly regulated 6 bar supply.
- Keep all conical connections and sealing surfaces clean to maintain strong suction and prevent compressed-air leakage.
- Use only compatible antistatic hoses and grounded extraction equipment to retain the static-dissipation properties of the complete system.
- Route the IAS 2 hose through a compatible boom arm where possible to keep it above the working surface and reduce snagging.
- Inspect the compressed-air connection hose regularly for cracks, abrasion and loose fittings.
- Depressurise the system completely before disconnecting the IAS 2 hose or carrying out maintenance.
How to Use
- Switch off the mobile dust extractor and disconnect it from the mains power supply.
- Close the compressed-air supply and release all residual pressure from the system.
- Confirm that the dust extractor, EAA energy box or SRM extractor is compatible with the IAS 2-A-ASA/CT/SRM45/70 connector.
- Inspect the connector, IAS 2 hose and compressed-air fittings for dirt, wear or damage.
- Fit the 58mm external cone connection securely to the designated extraction-system interface.
- Connect the compatible IAS 2 hose firmly to the connector.
- Attach the suitable compressed-air connection hose to the integrated compressed-air supply port.
- Connect the opposite end of the IAS 2 hose to the compatible pneumatic tool.
- Check that the extraction and compressed-air connections are fully seated and correctly secured.
- Reconnect and switch on the extraction equipment according to its operating instructions.
- Open the compressed-air supply gradually and adjust the pressure with the appropriate service unit.
- Test the pneumatic tool and extraction system briefly to check for air leaks, loss of suction or incorrect operation.
- After use, switch off the tool and extractor, close the air supply and release all residual pressure before disconnecting components.
Features
