Answer This Question

Hello Dave, Thank you for your inquiry. Detailed installation instructions are typically printed on the filter bag itself. However, to assist you further, we recommend following the instructions below to properly install the VF3502 filter bag. 1. Push the cardboard cap into the bag before trying to install onto the inlet. This will punch a hole in the paper and make inserting the bag over the inlet easier. 2. If necessary, insert the rubber gasket over one side of the split inlet and then the other. This will make getting the inlet into the bag a little easier. 3. Push the cardboard collar all the way forward against the drum, making sure the rubber gasket moves over the single rib that is present on the inlet port. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to enhance your experience or if you have further questions or concerns, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com. Thanks, RIDGID®

    Do you need to use the main filter with these bags?

    Answer This Question

    Hello Trout, Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, we highly recommend keeping the cartridge filter installed when using these dust bags. The dust bag should be used in conjunction with the cartridge filter. This setup provides added protection for your vacuum in the event that the dust bag tears during operation, as the cartridge filter will help prevent debris from entering the vacuum's internal components. Additionally, using dust bags helps keep the cartridge filter cleaner, reducing maintenance and extending its service life. Please note that dust bags are intended for dry pickup only and should not be used when vacuuming liquids. If you have questions or concerns, you may call us at 1-866-994-8759 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info.info@emerson.com and we'd be glad to assist you. Regards, RIDGID® Customer Support

        Answer This Question

        Hello Oren, Thank you for your inquiry. Based on the specifications you provided, the model number of your vacuum is WD1630. Please be advised that the VF3502 filter bag is not compatible with this model, as it is designed for newer RIDGID wet/dry vacuums that feature a hose connection (inlet port) located on the drum of the vacuum. Since the WD1630 has the hose connection located on its lid, the VF3502 filter bag will not fit or function properly with this unit. If you have further questions or concerns, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com. Thank you, RIDGID® Customer Support

                    Blow out at seams
                    Had customers complain about leaving job sites dusty! I blamed my crew for their incompetence. Thinking they installed bags incorrectly and caused a mess. But the same issue happened with me with two of the vacuum bags. They blow up at the seams. Out of desperation I tried taping, but no use. Videos attached I rate it a two because I purchased it many times before but this recently happen and it cost me serious business.

                      This filter is a game changer. No more mess to clean inside the tub of the vacuum. The cost is worth it against the time saving, and it will extend the life of the vacuum as well.

                      Easily fit into vac. Does a good job of taking out the larger particle. Be sure to use the dust filter that goes with it.

                        These bags save so much time when doing cleanup in between jobs. No more having to dump out the shop vac or needing to power wash it because whatever you were vacuuming coated the inside of your shop vac. In addition to saving your shop vac these bags greatly extend the life of the primary shop vac filter and no more having to take your pleated filter outside to beat it against a fence to remove debris. As a remodeling contractor I always use these and would recommend them to any level of shop vacuum owner!
