Festool VAC SYS FV Foot Valve

At a Glance: Foot-operated release valve that vents the VAC SYS vacuum pad while leaving both hands free to support and remove the workpiece safely.

The Festool VAC SYS FV foot valve makes releasing vacuum-clamped workpieces faster, safer and more convenient. Designed for the Festool VAC SYS SE 1 or an expanded system combining the VAC SYS SE 1 and SE 2, the valve allows the operator to release the vacuum pad with a foot while continuing to hold the workpiece securely with both hands. This is especially valuable when handling large, heavy, delicate or freshly finished components that could be damaged if released without proper support. The robust valve can be secured to the floor with screws to create a stable, predictable operating position and reduce movement during repetitive work. It is a practical original Festool system accessory for professional routing, sanding, planing, sawing, filling and finishing applications performed with the VAC SYS vacuum clamping system.

Hands-free release for safer workpiece handling

Vacuum clamping makes it possible to machine a workpiece from multiple sides without conventional clamps obstructing the working area. The VAC SYS FV completes this workflow by allowing the operator to support the component with both hands before releasing the vacuum, improving control and reducing the risk of the workpiece dropping, tipping or striking the clamping unit.

Product Highlights

Hands-free vacuum release: Operated by foot so both hands remain available to support and control the workpiece.
Controlled pad venting: Releases the vacuum holding force by admitting air into the clamping system.
Safer workpiece removal: Helps reduce the risk of large, heavy or delicate components dropping when the vacuum is released.
Improved productivity: Speeds up repetitive workpiece changes during workshop and production tasks.
Floor-mounting capability: Can be attached to the floor with screws for a stable and consistent operating position.
VAC SYS system compatibility: Suitable for a single VAC SYS SE 1 or an expanded SE 1 and SE 2 configuration.
Simple mechanical operation: Requires no separate electrical connection at the foot valve.
Genuine Festool accessory: Designed to integrate correctly with the Festool VAC SYS vacuum clamping system.

Product Compatibility

Festool VAC SYS SE 1: Designed for use with the primary VAC SYS vacuum clamping unit.
Festool VAC SYS SE 1 and SE 2: Suitable for systems combining the primary and secondary clamping units.
Festool VAC SYS vacuum pump: Used as part of a complete VAC SYS system connected to the appropriate vacuum pump.
VAC SYS vacuum pads: Releases compatible vacuum pads installed on the SE 1 or SE 2 clamping units.
VAC SYS vacuum hose: Integrates into the correctly connected VAC SYS vacuum hose circuit.
System accessory only: The foot valve does not generate a vacuum and cannot clamp a workpiece without the remaining VAC SYS components.
Not a dust-extraction valve: Designed for the VAC SYS clamping system and not for controlling a mobile dust extractor or suction hose.
