    Will this fit my Shop Vac brand vacuum with 2 1/2” hose?

    Answer This Question

    Hi Rich, Thank you for your interest in our product. The VT2505 is designed to fit RIDGID vacuums that come with a 2-1/2" hose and extension wands. The hose grip is friction-fit to the hose and wand. If your vacuum comes with a 2-1/2" hose diameter, it may fit, but we cannot guarantee compatibility. We also recommend reviewing Home Depot's return policy. If you have questions or concerns, you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

      Is there not a locking variant of this? Friction fit is a bit of a hassle I've noticed.

          Hello Nathan, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. We currently do not have a locking version of the Hose Grip Accessory (part number VT2505). We do understand that if the accessory might loosen up due wear and tear, you may use temporary fastener for extra locking such as duct tape. If you have additional questions you may call our Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com and we'll be glad to assist you.

                Answer This Question

                Hello Alex, We're sorry we don't have a 1-7/8" hose grip. However, your vac may have the option to switch to 2-1/2" inch hose. To help you with this, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time with the model number of your vac and we'll be glad to assist you.

                  Hello Jacob, The 4-gallon vacuum with the Premium Auto Detailing Kit comes with a 1-1/4 inch hose. Unfortunately, we don't have an adapter to allow the fitting. But, you have the option to get a 2-1/2 inch hose such as the LA2520 if you need to use this hose grip. If you have further questions, feel free to call us at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time and we'd be glad to assist you. Thanks, RIDGID

                    Honestly, I have no clue ... I needed the 2-1/2 and never considered a 1-7/8ths ... hope they'll make one so you can have it, otherwise I'd switch to a 2-1/2. Hope this helps ....

                      I believe that this item is available from the internet only. Order it online for free delivery and pick-up at your designated HD store.

                        Hi Glory, this 2-1/2 in. Black Hose Grip is an online exclusive item as there is no listed store SKU. It can be shipped to you directly or if it is eligible, shipped to a Home Depot store: however, it is not available to purchase directly from a Home Depot store. However, this item is due to be in stock online before the end of the month. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future. Thank you for shopping Home Depot!

                        Horrible construction! Handle is 2 pieces snapped together. Sharp cutting edges on the inside of the handle will cut your hand! I absolutely do not recommend this handle. Buy a shop vac one instead!

                          This makes holding the vac hose on my 14gal much more comfortable and natural feeling. My only gripe is it needs the locking tabs like the rest of my hose accessories have on them. This tends to wiggle lose while you sweep and eventually will come apart, leaving the hose to fall to the floor.

                          Worked ok. It would be better if the device had a hose lock that matched the locking mechanism on the hose.

                          This attachement is great add for the use of the wand. Much easier to maneuver than just holding the hose.

                          Pieces seem to be of good quality, but a little on the pricey side. Bought handle, hose an a couple of nozzles, cost almost as much as the vac. Since the vac has a full lifetime warranty, made the accessory purchase worth it.
