Questions & Answers
Does anyone blow out the filter with compressed air to increase the lifespan of these somewhat co...
Asked by Ed February 28, 2020Hello bikeboatski, We don't recommend using compressed air because we don't know what nozzle or at what pressure you would use. The preferred method is knocking the filter to loosen the debris or lightly washing it and letting it dry before using it again. If you really want to use air, the volume or pressure of air exiting the blowing port on the vac would be safe to use. If you have more questions or you need assistance, you may call our Customer Service 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
Will this filter work for my 4 gallon huskey shop vac
Asked by Shawn December 27, 2018Check model number online and see required parts
I have a Shark Rocket, will this work for my filter that someone emptied when cleaning.
Asked by Norma February 9, 2019No, this product is not guaranteed to fit your model.
Just to confirm, the VF3700 filter can be used to pick up damp or wet materials??
Asked by DIYDeb July 22, 2019Yes
what's inside diameter?

Does this fit the 3 gal portable vacuum?
Asked by Art August 9, 2018This fits the Ridgid 4 gallon, 5 peak HP, portable vacuum.. I do not know about the 3 gallon. On the id stamp on your vac, it should state which filter. If not, the Ridgid webpage will tell you which filter you need. Though the ad at the top of this page says it will fit 3 gal. portable. Good luck...
why is it every time I need one its not on shelf don't even stock it
Asked by jerbear July 14, 2018The best way to get one is to order it online from Home depot. I got mine pretty fast. Mr .G
How do I remove the old filter? There is a plug or cap on top and I don't see how to remove it.
Asked by MomofOne53 March 16, 2014Yes I just bought this last week. It is a easy job. The thing is on a hub and doesn't turn or move. It only can work by pulling off the old filter and putting on the new one. At least that is the way for the VF3500 for the 4 Gallon Rigid Vacuum.
can I use this filter for water?
Asked by Joe52571 May 13, 2016No, and it is not recommended. I believe you would need to use the VF3700 for wet applications. The VF3500 can be washed, but must be dried thoroughly before being used again. That is why I have at least two on hand.
Will this filter fit my small stinger vacuum ?
Asked by Jay616 March 4, 2017No
