Answer This Question

A:  Hello Jimmy1989, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. We are sorry to know you are having problems with the hose of the vacuum. With vacuums that is an old model that have the inlet port on the lid on the vacuum uses a different type of end hose interlock of the vacuum, the interlock that included with the new hoses doesn't fit the older model vacuum. If you no longer have the old end hose interlock we can send it to you at no cost. 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 in order for us to send the part. Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support

          Attachments are not universal with Rigid
          I have a model WD-4070 and need a carpet attachment with rolling wheels but the one you sell is not compatible with my model. How can this be? Your accessories need to be universal.

          Response from RIDGID Wet/Dry Vac Customer SupportMay 5, 2021
          Hello RIDGID Customer, Thanks for writing a review. We have the Carpet and Hard Floor Nozzle Accessory (VT2530). However, you will need to have an adapter to make it work with your WD4070 and that is included on the 3-piece adapter set (VT1755). You may get this through Home Depot stores or online. If you need guidane on how to connect these, you may contact 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.
