Festool 201778 hose discontinued?

[NVA_WW]

I noticed the new 2017 Festool doesn't list the 10 meter sleeved hose (201778) in the new catalog. Is it being discontinued or did they just not include it in the catalog?

I also noticed it was missing from page 14, where the shorter sleeved hose was listed.  However, there is a picture of the longer hose on page 157, and the caption refers to page 14 for more information. It looks like a publishing error to me.

Yes, it is available. It was just officially announced to dealers this week.

I guess I'm confused...the 10 M sleeved hose is listed in the 2016 catalog as part number 500 940. When did it get the new 201 778 part number?

My guess is that the new number is due to the new connector. Which has only recently been introduced.

Thanks TylerC!  I'll be buying the long hose sometime this year and I was worried it was going away.

What's up with the new connector? I have both the sleeved hoses and love them.
