The 1-7/8 in. diameter locking wet dry vacuum hose can expand from 2 ft. to 7 ft. for extended reach and includes a bleeder valve to adjust suction power. The extremely flexible design with Tug-A-Long feature locks onto the shop vacuum while in use for a secure hold. With its expandable design, it stores easily in smaller spaces such as a cabinet or drawer. This RIDGID hose will connect to most RIDGID wet dry vacuums. Optimal RIDGID vacuums are 5 gallons and smaller.

    Will this extension connect to the hose that came with my rigid 12 gal shop vac model #WD12701?
    BySep 26, 2026
    1 Answer | 
    Answer This Question

    Dear Mitch, Thank you for your inquiry. The VT1722 is a 1-7/8" hose, while your vacuum is designed to use a 2-1/2" hose. Although the VT1722 can be connected to your existing hose for added reach, its smaller diameter may not be compatible with your original accessories. For the best performance and compatibility, we recommend the LA2521 (13 ft.) or LA2522 (20 ft.) hose. If additional length is needed, the hose-to-hose adapter included with the VT1755 Accessory Kit can be used to connect your original hose to one of these recommended hoses. These hoses and adapters are available at Home Depot stores and on homedepot.com. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact our Customer Service team at 1-800-474-3443. We are available Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time. Alternatively, you can also reach out via email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we will be more than happy to assist you promptly. Thanks, RIDGID

      Answer This Question

      Hi Mbrussels, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. The VT1720 is a 1-7/8 in. x 7 ft. Dual-Flex Standard Hose made from high-quality plastic materials. In comparison, the LA2570 Pro-Grade Hose is a 1-7/8 in. x 10 ft. orange hose constructed from multiple materials, including LDPE and PP plastics, making it up to 4 times more durable than a standard RIDGID shop vacuum hose. 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. Thanks, RIDGID®

        Will this hose adapt to my rigid shop vac HD 1900 NXT and act as an extension to the current hose?

        Answer This Question

        Hello Ruben, Thank you for reaching out, and we appreciate your interest in our products. Yes, you can connect the hose that came with your HD1900 to the LA2570 Pro Hose. However, you will need the hose-to-hose connector included in the VT1755 3-Piece Adapter Kit to make the connection. The VT1755 Adapter Kit is available at your local Home Depot store or online at HomeDepot.com. If you need assistance with the connection or have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We will be happy to help. 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

          can I attach this hose to extend to my existing 7 foot hose that came with the vacuum?
          ByAug 7, 2026
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello JCman, Thanks for reaching out. The VT1722 is designed to connect directly to vacuums equipped with an original 1-7/8" hose assembly, eliminating the need for a hose-to-hose connector. If your vacuum comes with a 2-1/2" hose, the VT1722 can only be connected with the use of a hose-to-hose connector, which is included in the VT1755 Adapter Kit. The VT1755 Adapter Kit is available for purchase at Home Depot stores and online at www.homedepot.com. Please note that the 2-1/2" hose must remain connected to the vacuum when using the VT1722. For any other questions, please call our friendly Customer Service team from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM Central Time. You can reach us at 1-800-474-3443. Alternatively, feel free to send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com, and we'll be more than happy to help. Thanks, RIDGID

                This works on both my WD4522 and my WD4070 Rigid Vacuums. The hose allows better access when using the rigid vacuums for tasks like vacuuming cars or connecting to power tools to vacuum sawdust.

                This hose works great with my rigid 4080 and my beater bar also purchased by rigid. The original hose that came with my 4080 was to long to use inside for my carpet and I was scared to trip as I did once while vacumming. This one workd great with my extension tubes to vaxumm under my beds and other heavy furniture. The original I use when vacumming my car. This hose also makes it easier to store.

                Less risk of tipping over it while vacumming. Fair price
                I purchased this for my ridgid 4080 blower shop vac, the original that came was to long to use inside my carpeted home and kept almost tripping over it. (Original Long hose is good but too long in some instances but not in others. I switch them up as needed for whatever I'm vaccume up). I use this with my carpet beater also purchased here on HD. works great. Only thing that bugs me a little it that the suck adjustment opens up sometimes and I don't realize it right away. But for the most part I catch that right right. Might have to duck tape it shut. It expands but not too much which I like. Seems durable and it's easier to put away and store.

                  The 15l shop vav package hose sizes are different.
                  I bought one of the two kit packages were this comes with a shop vac. The 15l 6hp rigid shop vac kit doesn't fit these extentions. It has a 1 7/8 inch hose. I was dumb and trusted home depot to check this for me... they didn't.

                  Hi LanC,

                  Thank you for reaching out, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the extension wand connection. Please note that the VT2515 Adapter Kit is designed exclusively for use with 2-1/2" extension wands and is not compatible with 1-7/8" accessories. Regrettably, we do not offer an adapter that allows a larger attachment to connect to a smaller hose, as this could increase the risk of clogging. If the accessory kit does not meet your needs, you may return it to your local Home Depot store within 90 days of purchase, subject to Home Depot's return policy.

                  We appreciate your understanding. If you have any additional questions, please let us know and we'll be happy to assist further.

                  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 and we'll be glad to assist you.

                    Purchased this hose to extend the length of my current set-up. Works as advertised and had no issues with suction power. Great product and would recommend to anyone looking to extend their current hose length.

                    Durable, flexible hose with solid fittings—easy to use and built to last.
                    by
                    Essentially a factory fix for the hose included with my Rigid 4gal 5.0hp vacuum.
                    "Rigid" means stiff and unyielding, and that's a good description of the hose that originally came with my Ridgid 4gal 5.0hp vac. It was not easy to use for vacuuming a car, or even a shop floor. This accessory hose is longer, more flexible, and it stretches in length. Unfortunately, we have to pay $50 to get a decent hose that should have been included with our $100+ vacuums. Negatives: You need to install adapters on each end of the hose. It's not immediately obvious which of the 5 or six adapters to use, because the instructions are 2 stars on a scale of 5. It would be fun to watch a Ridgid exec try to assemble one of these hoses! Also, there is not a lock tab on the adapter at the accessory end of the hose. And yet all the accessories and extension wands are configured for locking.

                      This hose is fantastic. So much so that using the old, included hose was so bad that I was about to throw my Rigid vac into the dumpster and buy another brand. Home Depot, you need to think about this. Charge a little more, include the Professional Vacuum Hose and win/keep customers. SECOND, a big box shipping to me. Way bigger than is should have been. Upon opening it, there were three hose kit boxes! I took the other two back to my local HD store and the cashier seemed surprised that I was bringing them back and not selling them. My conscious would not let me do that. But, Home Depot needs to shore that shipping problem up. That is a costly mistake. Overall, this hose renewed an old shop vac that was headed to the landfill and turned it into a highly functional work tool.

                      Okay, but leaves black marks everywhere
                      I got the 14’ black hose. Functionally, it’s mostly fine, but two issues: (1) It kinks much easier than my old hoses (annoying, as it cuts off the air, but I can deal with this), and (2) It leaves black marks all over anything it touches. Probably irrelevant on a job site or in a garage, but it’s almost impossible to use inside my house as it leaves black marks on any white trim it touches. Not one little mark, but tons of black marks from every single ridge in the hose (and no, I’m not dragging it like the Hulk). In the photo, I’d pulled it over the handrail to reach the landing and you can see what it did. Just doesn’t appear to be a good choice in plastic.

                        Works on my old wall mount craftsman
                        It looked like it was the right size and had the same connections. It does!! I bought two so I would have 28 feet of hose to reach everywhere in n my work space. Its is a much needed upgrade from my 20 year old cracked and duct taped hose :)
