Overview
The Festool 496262 Clamp ET-BG for CT 26/36 is a genuine Festool replacement part for CLEANTEC CT 26 and CT 36 dust extractors. This is a spring-loaded dust extractor latch designed to clamp the extractor's top (motor head) to its bottom (dirt container). It is a single replacement clamp.
When one of these clamps cracks or loses spring tension, the head doesn't seat tight against the container. That means air leaks at the seam, weaker suction at the hose, and a head that can shift when you roll or lift the extractor. Replacing the clamp restores the closure without replacing any larger assemblies.
Festool spare parts are model-specific. Confirm 496262 against your extractor's parts list in the Festool online spare parts catalog using the model and serial number on the nameplate before ordering.
This part is for owners and shops maintaining Festool CT 26 and CT 36 dust extractors who want the extractor sealing properly again with a genuine Festool component.
Restore a Tight Seal

A broken clamp is a small part that causes a big suction problem. A new one pulls the head and container back together.
