    Do the VF3602 and VF3502 bags use the same media? Is the cyclonic action to meet OSHAs Silica rules the only difference between these two bags or does VF3602 offer better filtration?

    Answer This Question

    Hello Ridgid Customer, Thank you for your inquiry about our product. The VF3602 dust bags provide HEPA-level filtration, capturing up to 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns and larger when used in select RIDGID 12–16 gallon wet/dry vacuums and installed with the RIDGID VF6000 filter. In contrast, the VF3502 is a standard dust bag designed primarily for quick cleanups and convenient debris disposal, helping keep the inside of the vacuum drum clean. That said, the VF3602 offers superior filtration when paired with the VF6000 filter. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call us at 1-800-4-RIDGID (1-800-474-3443), or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com. We’ll be glad to assist you. Thank you, RIDGID

        Hi JayA, Thank you for your interest in our product. Regrettably, we currently do not offer cyclonic dust bags for smaller gallon RIDGID vacuums. These are only available for 12 to 16-gallon models at this time. I hope you still have a good day.

          Is it still necessary to use a bag when you have a HEPA rated filter in the vac AND you’re using a Ridgid Dustopper? What added benefit would the bag have in this scenario?

          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hello JP2024, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. We would like to confirm that you still need to use the bag. Both the VF6000 and VF3602 cyclonic dust bag must be used to meet OSHA requirement or be in compliant. When using both the HEPA filter and the cyclonic dust bag together, it's meeting the definition of HEPA filtration 99.97% efficient up to 0.3 microns. If you have additional 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.

              Answer This Question

              Dear RickC137, Thank you for asking. While we don’t know the model of your vacuum, The Cyclonic Dust Bags is not compatible with our 9 gallon vacuum as this only fits to selected 12-16 gallon vacuum.

                I'd like to use the dust bag having the best HEPA-level filtration to catch fine particles (0.3 microns) as much as possible before particles reaching VF8000. Is VF3702 better than VF3602 in terms of micron ratings? What are their micron rating numbers?

                Answer This Question

                Hello Qna1, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. The VF3702 and VF3602 are both very good when it comes to filtration. We recommend VF3602 based on the dust bags facilitating a cyclonic airflow, resulting in pre-separation and more equal distribution of fine particles and debris throughout the bag. If you are ever looking for a solution on liquid cleanup, the VF3702 is a great solution for that type of mess as VF3602 is dry pickup only. 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.

                  Works great, but hard to tell what the difference is between these and the cheaper basic dry bags that are lower cost.

                  Used it together with HEPA filter to collect concrete dust fron grinding. Worked perfect. After grinding of 200 square feet, the filter still looked very clean. The dust collector hooked up the vacuum help tremendously too.

                  I don’t like to use my RIDGID wet-dry vacuum without a dust bag installed. When I vacuum up dirt, drywall dust, sawdust, pet hair and so on, I want all of it to stay sealed up in a bag. Bagging the dirt eliminates the need to shake a large amount of dust and other trash out of the pleated paper filter on the intake. My motto for dust bags is Use, Remove and Throw Away. These premium cyclonic dry pick-up bags work with my RIDGID model HD14000/WD1401 14-gal vac even though the model number is not among those listed as being compatible. My guess is that the bags will work will all RIDGID 12-16 gallon wet/dry vacs that have the suction/inlet port on the drum. I’ve found the bags to be as efficient as advertised. They capture all but the tiniest particles. They are also easy to install and remove, and I especially like that there’s a sealing collar that keeps everything inside the bag after removal and during disposal. My only gripe is that these cyclonic bag are a one-size-fits-all for drum sizes in the range 12 to 16 gallons. The height of the bag is just about an inch too tall for my 14-gal drum. I have to expand the bag by pulling on its sides to shorten it a bit. Unfortunately, these cyclonic bags are not in stock at my Home Depot for just-in-time purchase. Fortunately, I can order them online and pick them up at the store just a few days later. Made in China.

                  Ridgid provides multiple bag models for their wet/dry vacs. I like the premium bags for their price and performance. My vac is used for dust collection on various wood working equipment as well as cleaning my garage and car interiors. The suction is plenty strong and the well thought accessories are perfect. Because I really hate airborne dust, I've configured my Ridgid 14 Gal vac into a 3 stage machine. The first stage is a cyclone, 2nd stage is this premium dust bag, and my final stage is a HEPA filter. It must be effective because when picking up smelly messes, it's amazing how the odors disappear quick. My friends and I've done some research and the Ridgid system is closest performing system costs more than $600. The Ridgid wet/dry vacuuming system is king.

                  This premium Ridgid bag is a good fit for our Shop-Vac 12 Gallon Heavy Duty Wet/Dry Utility Vac, and is preferable for indoor jobs where we want to keep dust to an absolute minimum. One of the primary objectives in our projects is to avoid having one project accidentally create another project. Whether we are working in the house or in the garage, we want to avoid creating a dust clean-up project when we are vacuuming. Cheaper bags are fine for vacuuming up something like dirt spilled in river rocks outdoors. But when the mess is indoors, such as during a construction project, premium bags are best. All of the accessories for our shop vac are from Ridgid, which we regard as a trusted brand. The bag installed easily, and snugly. The paper is thicker than what is found on cheaper bags. This is the highest quality bag that we have seen.

                  I've been using the standard dust bags for my Rigid shop vac for years. I work in woodworking and am always running the vac on my tools or cleaning up afterwards. One of every woodworkers fears is the micro dust we are around all the time, getting into our lungs. These bags are made to pick up finer dust particles, so even though I can not see the difference in the standard bags, I know I am getting more into the filter than in my lungs. Has to be good.

                  These bags are great! They are a huge time saver when emptying the shop vac and create far less mess. Additionally, they keep the inside of the shop vac from caking up with dirt. The bags can be used with the vf-6000 filter to achieve HEPA filtration to keep fine dust and particulate out of the air which is very helpful especially when vacuuming up drywall dust. However, I have used them without a canister type filter and they still work very well. They are very easy to install / replace, similar to replacing a bag on a standard vacuum and come 2 per pack. Overall these bags have been fantastic and I would highly recommend them.

                  RIDGID PREMIUM CYCLONIC DRY PICK-UP DUST BAGS FOR SELECT 12 GAL. TO 16 GAL. WET/DRY VACS (2-PACK), GREEN. These are the best for wet / dry vacuum cleaners. These will perform several things, which #1 keeps the exhaust air clean, #2. Your main filter won't build-up dirt which lowers the performance and #3 makes emptying the vac a snap. I always use these for drywall sanding.

                  Perfect fit and no leaking. I wanted to take a moment to share a story with anyone that might be considering using an "off-brand" dust bag. A few years ago, on my way out of town for a business trip, I asked a co-worker to order some dust bags for our Ridgid brand Wet/Dry vac. I new that we were on our last one and we had an important project coming up soon. When I got back, she said that the bags came in while I was gone and that she had gone ahead and installed a new one. That afternoon, we painted a large room and when we were finished, we swept the area using the wet/dry vac.About half way into the process, we noticed that the vac was emitting dust and the dust was sticking to our freshly painted walls. It turned out that my co-worker had (in an attempt to save a few bucks), ordered a bunch of off-brand bags which fit poorly and leak like crazy. I realize that she was only trying to help but it turned out to be a costly mistake. From now on, we all know to use ONLY genuine Ridgid brand bags on our Ridgid wet/dry vac. They fit perfectly and they don't leak.

                  High filtration rate for my larger shop vac. I have a 14 gallon Ridged 6 hoarse power vac that has stood up to a lot of punishment over the years. Everyday wood chips and saw dust is ok with standard filterbags but I find these to be better with smaller matter like waste from sanding down cabinets for refinish. Good catch of material without diminishing vacuum power. Easy fit to vac and when full just so easy to toss bag and not have to worry about cleaning drum and machine filter. Worthwhile time saver from Ridgid.
