The Festool Dust Extractor Hood (MPN: 500118) is an essential replacement component designed specifically for professional contractors and hobbyists who rely on the CT 17 E series dust extractor. Its primary benefit is providing a robust, secure seal that protects vital internal components from debris accumulation, ensuring the longevity of your equipment.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this compatible with the CT 26 or CT 36 series?

No, this hood is specifically engineered for the CT 17 E series only.

Does this part come with a warranty?

As a replacement part, it is covered under standard Festool parts and accessories policies. Please refer to your original purchase receipt.

Do I need any tools to install this?

No, this is a tool-free installation designed for easy maintenance.

Is the material resistant to heat?

It is made from professional-grade materials designed for the typical operating temperatures of the CT 17 E, but should not be exposed to direct flame or extreme heat sources.

How often should I inspect the hood?

It is best practice to inspect the hood every time you empty the container or replace the filter bag.

Troubleshooting

Hood will not snap into place

Check the mounting area for debris or dust buildup that might be preventing a flush connection. Clean the housing area before reattaching.

Suction power feels weak after replacement

Verify that the hood is fully seated and that the rubber gasket, if present, is not pinched or misaligned.

Hood appears loose during operation

Ensure all locking tabs are fully engaged. If tabs feel loose, inspect the housing for wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures a perfect factory-spec fit for the CT 17 E series
  • Protects internal motor components from harmful dust buildup
  • Maintains original manufacturer warranty compliance for replacement parts
  • High-quality construction ensures a long service life

Cons

  • Exclusively compatible with the CT 17 E series
  • Does not include mounting hardware (if applicable to specific sub-assembly)
  • May require basic manual dexterity to snap into position correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this hood, ensure the power cord of your Festool CT 17 E is disconnected from the outlet. Carefully remove the existing damaged or worn hood by releasing the locking tabs. Align the new 500118 hood with the intake housing, applying firm, even pressure until you hear it click securely into place.

Compatibility: This part is exclusively designed for the Festool CT 17 E model series. Do not attempt to force this component onto other Festool dust extractors as it may damage the plastic housing or the hood itself.

Care Instructions: To maintain the hood, wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can degrade the integrity of the material over time. Inspect the hood during every filter change to ensure no cracks or gaps have developed.
