Key Features
Correct CT MINI/MIDI FitThis replacement hood is made for Festool CT MINI and MIDI dust extractors with the existing T-LOC hose garage. That matters because it lets you replace the damaged top section without replacing more of the extractor than you need to. Stores Hose and CordThe hose garage hood keeps the suction hose and power cord organized on top of the extractor. That means less snagging in the van, quicker setup, and a cleaner jobsite footprint. T-LOC Top InterfaceThe Festool 500118 Replacement Hose Garage (Hood) for CT MINI/MIDI Dust Extractors includes the T-LOC connection point for attaching compatible Systainer, Sortainer, and SYS toolboxes. It helps turn the extractor into part of a stacked, mobile storage setup instead of just a vacuum.
Overview
The Festool 500118 Replacement Hose Garage (Hood) for CT MINI/MIDI Dust Extractors is a replacement vacuum accessory for select Festool dust extractors. This is a vacuum accessory designed for replacing the upper hose garage section on compatible CT MINI and CT MIDI units. Model Number: 500118. If the top hose storage area on your extractor is cracked, worn out, or no longer locking the way it should, this part restores the storage and top-mount function without forcing you to replace the entire machine.
What makes this part important is fit. Festool calls out that it is for CT MINI and MIDI dust extractors with the existing T-LOC hose garage. That detail is the whole story here. If your machine already has the green T-LOC latch on the side of the hose garage, this is the replacement you want. If it does not, Festool points buyers to a different part number instead. That saves a lot of frustration, because these replacement tops are not universal across every CT generation.
On the job, the hose garage does more than just cover the top of the extractor. It gives you a dedicated place to stow the suction hose and power cord, which keeps everything tighter when you are moving from room to room or loading out at the end of the day. For remodelers, trim crews, installers, and shop users who rely on a dust extractor as part of the daily workflow, that organization matters. A loose hose hanging off the side of the vacuum is one more thing to catch on a doorway, a cabinet corner, or other tools in the trailer.
The T-LOC design also keeps the extractor working as part of the broader Festool system. According to the available product data, this hood is equipped with a T-LOC connector so you can attach compatible Systainer, Sortainer, and SYS toolboxes on top. That is a real benefit if your vacuum doubles as a mobile base for sanding, finishing, or installation work. Instead of carrying separate stacks, you can keep tools and extraction together in one rolling setup.
From a service standpoint, this is the kind of part that makes sense for users who want to keep an existing machine in service rather than replace it over a damaged top section. Festool owners tend to hold onto their extractors for a long time, so replaceable components like this are worth paying attention to. If the body of your CT MINI or MIDI is still solid and the issue is confined to the hose garage area, swapping in the correct hood is a straightforward way to get back proper storage and top connectivity.
This replacement part is best for current owners of compatible Festool CT MINI or CT MIDI dust extractors, especially contractors and serious DIY users who already work inside the Festool dust extraction and Systainer platform. If you need a new vacuum, this is obviously not that. But if you need the right top cover for a T-LOC equipped CT MINI or MIDI, this is the specific part to check first.
Restore Top Storage and System Function
If your extractor still runs fine but the top hose garage is damaged, this part puts back the storage area and T-LOC top interface that make the vacuum easier to use every day.
