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.

One hose for air, extraction and exhaust

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.

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.
