About Extension Hoses & Tubes Extension hoses and tubes are essential accessories for professional dust extractors, vacuum cleaners, and power tools that require enhanced reach and versatility on the job site. These components allow tradespeople to extend the working radius of their extraction equipment, enabling more efficient dust collection and debris removal in hard-to-reach areas, across larger workspaces, or in multi-room environments without constantly relocating the main extraction unit. For professionals working to HSE workplace dust control regulations, the right extension system can make the difference between compliant, efficient work and constant equipment repositioning. The selection at Tooled-Up.com includes antistatic hoses designed to prevent dangerous static build-up, flexible tubes that navigate around obstacles with ease, rigid extension pipes for straight-line reach, and specialist connectors including elbow joints and adapters. With products from leading manufacturers such as Festool, Bosch Professional, Karcher Professional, Makita, DeWalt, and Draper, you'll find compatible extensions for most professional-grade dust extractors and vacuum systems on the market. Available in various diameters including 19mm, 27mm, 35mm, and larger industrial sizes, these hoses and tubes are built to withstand the rigours of site work whilst maintaining optimal suction performance. Whether you're a professional joiner working with a track saw system, a decorator tackling sanding projects, or a general contractor managing site cleanliness, the right extension hoses and tubes can significantly improve workflow efficiency. From basic extension pipes that add a metre or two of reach, to sophisticated antistatic systems with bayonet locks and universal adapters, Tooled-Up stocks solutions for everything from light-duty DIY applications to heavy-duty commercial extraction requirements. Jargon Buster Antistatic Hose A hose manufactured with conductive materials that safely dissipate static electricity build-up during dust extraction. Essential when working with fine dust particles that can accumulate dangerous static charges, particularly important for ATEX-compliant environments. Look for visible earthing wires or conductive strips running through the hose construction. Hose Diameter The internal measurement of the hose opening, typically ranging from 19mm to 100mm for professional equipment. Must match your extractor outlet and power tool port for optimal suction performance. Common sizes include 27mm, 32mm, 35mm, and 36mm. Mismatched diameters result in poor connections and reduced extraction efficiency. Smooth-Bore vs Corrugated Smooth-bore hoses have an internal surface free from ridges, offering less airflow restriction and easier debris flow. Corrugated hoses feature internal ribbing for flexibility but may reduce suction slightly over longer distances. Smooth-bore is preferred for maximum performance, whilst corrugated excels in tight spaces. Bayonet Lock A twist-and-lock connection system used by manufacturers like Bosch and Festool that provides a secure, airtight connection between hose and extractor. Simply push and rotate to lock in place, preventing accidental disconnection during operation. Suction Loss The reduction in extraction power that occurs over extended hose lengths due to friction and airflow resistance. Professional systems account for this in their design, but excessive hose length can compromise dust collection effectiveness and HSE compliance. Cuff/Collar The reinforced end fitting of a hose designed to create a secure connection with extraction equipment, tools, or extension tubes. Often features rotating mechanisms for easier manoeuvring and may include locking collars for secure attachment. Who Uses Extension Hoses & Tubes? Joiners and Carpenters - Extending dust extraction for track saws, routers, and sanders across large workshop or site installations Decorators and Drywall Specialists - Managing fine dust from sanding operations over extended areas and multiple rooms Builders and General Contractors - Maintaining site cleanliness and HSE compliance across larger work areas Floor Fitters - Dust extraction during sanding and cutting operations across expansive floor spaces Facilities Maintenance Teams - Reaching difficult areas for cleaning and maintenance in commercial buildings Cabinet Makers and Furniture Makers - Workshop dust collection with flexibility to move between benches and machines Shopfitters - On-site dust control during installation work in retail and commercial spaces Stone and Composite Worktop Installers - Heavy-duty extraction for cutting and finishing operations DIY Enthusiasts - Home renovation projects requiring professional-grade dust control and extended reach How to Choose the Right Extension Hoses & Tubes Check Compatibility: The most crucial factor is ensuring the hose diameter matches both your dust extractor outlet and your power tool inlet. Common professional sizes are 27mm, 32mm, 35mm, and 36mm. Check your equipment specifications before purchasing. Many manufacturers like Festool, Bosch, and Makita use proprietary connection systems with bayonet locks or specific collar designs, so matching brands often ensures the best fit. Universal adapters are available for cross-brand compatibility. Consider Length Requirements: Calculate the maximum distance you need to cover in your typical working environment. Remember that excessive hose length can reduce suction power through increased airflow resistance. For most applications, 3-5 metres provides a good balance between reach and performance. If you regularly work across larger areas, consider multiple extension sections rather than one very long hose, as this allows you to optimise length for each job. Antistatic Properties: For compliance with HSE guidelines and ATEX regulations, particularly when working with fine combustible dusts (wood, plaster, certain composite materials), choose antistatic hoses with conductive elements. These are identifiable by a visible earthing wire or conductive strip running through the hose construction. Brands like Bosch, DeWalt, and Festool offer antistatic options across their ranges. Hose Construction: Flexible corrugated hoses offer excellent manoeuvrability around obstacles and are ideal for connecting power tools. Smooth-bore hoses provide better airflow and are easier to clean but may be less flexible. Rigid extension tubes are perfect for straight-line reach and often feature lower airflow resistance. Consider your specific application and whether flexibility or maximum suction is the priority. Quality and Durability: Professional-grade hoses from brands like Festool, Bosch Professional, Makita, and Karcher Pro are constructed to withstand site conditions including being driven over, exposed to sharp debris, and constant flexing. Look for reinforced cuffs, tear-resistant materials, and crush-proof construction if you work in demanding environments. Cheaper hoses may seem economical initially but often split or lose suction efficiency within months of site use. System Integration: If you use a systainer or tool storage system from Makita, DeWalt, or Festool, consider hoses designed to integrate with these storage solutions for improved organisation and protection during transport. Some systems include dedicated compartments for hose storage. Popular Accessories Hose Adapters and Reducers - Connect different diameter hoses and tools to your extraction system for universal compatibility Elbow Joints and Bends - Navigate tight spaces and reduce strain on hose connections, particularly useful for fixed workshop installations Y-Connectors and Splitters - Run multiple extraction points from a single dust extractor outlet Hose Clamps and Brackets - Secure hoses in place and manage cable routing on workbenches Replacement Cuffs and Collars - Repair worn connection points without replacing entire hoses Filter Bags and Cassettes - Essential consumables for maintaining extraction efficiency Tool Connection Adapters - Universal fittings for connecting extraction to various power tool brands Hose Storage Hooks and Reels - Keep hoses organised and prevent damage when not in use Antistatic Spray - Reduce dust adhesion on hose interiors for improved airflow Safety Information Always ensure hoses are properly connected and secured before operating dust extraction equipment to prevent disconnection during use. Inspect hoses regularly for splits, tears, or damage that could compromise extraction efficiency or create tripping hazards on site. Replace damaged hoses immediately rather than attempting temporary repairs with tape, as this can lead to extraction system failure and potential exposure to harmful dusts. When working with materials that produce combustible dust (wood, certain plastics, composite materials), use only antistatic hoses to prevent dangerous static discharge. Ensure your complete extraction system, including all extensions, maintains electrical continuity for proper earthing. This is particularly critical for ATEX compliance in environments where explosive dust atmospheres may occur. Be aware of maximum hose length recommendations from your dust extractor manufacturer, as excessive extensions can overwork the motor and reduce extraction effectiveness below safe levels required for HSE compliance. Avoid creating tripping hazards by routing hoses sensibly across walkways and work areas, and never drive vehicles or machinery over hoses unless they're specifically rated for such use. Regularly empty dust extractors before they reach maximum capacity, as overfilled units can cause back-pressure in extended hose systems, potentially releasing dust into the working environment. Frequently Asked Questions Can I connect multiple extension hoses together for extra length? Yes, you can typically connect multiple extensions, but be aware that each additional metre reduces suction power due to increased airflow resistance. Most professional dust extractors maintain effective extraction up to 7-10 metres total hose length, but check your manufacturer's specifications. For optimal performance, use the shortest practical hose length for your application. Brands like Karcher Pro and Bosch provide guidance on maximum recommended lengths for their extractors. Will any 35mm hose fit my 35mm dust extractor? Not necessarily. Whilst internal diameter is important, connection types vary between manufacturers. Festool, Bosch, Makita, and other brands often use proprietary bayonet or locking collar systems. Some connections are friction-fit and will work across brands, but for the most secure and efficient connection, matching the hose brand to your extractor brand is recommended. Universal adapters are available for cross-compatibility where needed. What's the difference between antistatic and standard hoses? Antistatic hoses contain conductive materials (usually a visible wire or strip) that safely dissipate static electricity to earth, preventing dangerous static build-up when extracting fine dust particles. Standard hoses can accumulate static charge, which poses fire and explosion risks with certain materials. For professional use, particularly with wood and plaster dust, antistatic hoses are strongly recommended and may be required for HSE compliance on commercial sites. How do I maintain my extraction hoses? Periodically disconnect hoses and check for internal blockages by passing a soft cloth through on a length of cord. Clean smooth-bore hoses more thoroughly if you notice reduced suction. Store hoses loosely coiled rather than tightly wound to prevent permanent kinking. Check connection cuffs regularly for wear and ensure antistatic hoses maintain electrical continuity by testing with a multimeter annually. Replace any hoses showing signs of splitting or damage immediately. My suction seems weak with the extension fitted - is this normal? Some suction reduction is normal with extensions due to increased airflow resistance, but if performance drops dramatically, check for poor connections, blockages, splits in the hose, or an overfilled dust extractor. Ensure you're not exceeding the manufacturer's recommended total hose length. Smooth-bore hoses and larger diameters maintain better suction over distance than narrow corrugated alternatives. If problems persist, consider a more powerful extractor unit.
