Product Details

Have a RIDGID wet/dry vacuum filter on hand whenever the job calls for it with this 2-count, pleated paper filter value pack -- buy more and save more. The filtration system captures everyday dirt and debris such as sawdust, dirt and typical debris found in a basement, garage or vehicle. The filter can be washed and, if dried properly, reused. Changing shop vac filters often is strongly recommended to increase the vac's performance and to help extend vacuum life as it protects the motor from harmful dust and debris. The general debris filter fits all RIDGID wet/dry shop vacs 5 gal. and larger and should only be used for dry pickup. RIDGID provides other filtration offerings, including VF5000 Fine Dust Filter (sold separately), VF6000 HEPA Material Filter (sold separately), VF7000 Wet Filter (sold separately), and VF8000 HEPA Filter (sold separately), depending on the job application and type of cleanup mess. Also, a range of value pack sizes (4-count, 8-count and 16-count) are available to accommodate a variety of project needs. With its patented Qwik Lock feature, the filter simply snaps on or off the shop vacuum for easy cleaning and to quickly switch filter options.

    Q:How does one wash this filter?
    by|Nov 9, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello bodacious mike, Thank you for reaching out to us with your inquiry about our product. We appreciate your interest in maintaining the best performance for your filter. To ensure that your filter is working at its best, we recommend starting with a simple cleaning process. Begin by removing the filter and tapping it on the inside of the drum or a trash can to dislodge any debris. This method helps to loosen and remove larger particles effectively. For a more thorough cleaning, you can use a soft-bristled brush to gently sweep off any remaining particles from the pleats. Alternatively, if you have access to an air compressor or blower, blowing out the debris can also be an effective method. If desired, you may also choose to wash the filter. Simply run water through it from a hose or spigot, ensuring that the water pressure is not too high. This will help remove finer particles and restore optimal filtration efficiency. By regularly cleaning and maintaining your filter, you'll ensure that it continues to perform at its peak capacity, providing clean and fresh air for your environment. Regularly checking the filter for any holes or tears is crucial. Neglecting this step may lead to potential damage to the motor of your vacuum, which could void the warranty. We want to make sure you get the most out of your investment, so we highly recommend inspecting your filter periodically. If you happen to notice any damage or wear on your filter, it's time for a replacement. Our high-quality filters are specifically designed to fit perfectly with your vacuum model and provide exceptional filtration performance. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here 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 send us an email at info@ridgidvacs.com. Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support

        Q:Can I wash my filter vf4000
        by|Oct 28, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello Ronn, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. Yes, you may wash the VF4000 filter with water. However, please do not use any pressurized equipment to clean the filter as it will damage the filter and do not soak the filter to much in liquid it will deteriorate. Please just clean it with running water from a hose or faucet, after washing the filter before using it make sure that it is completely air dry and no wet spot and inspect the filter as well for any tear or holes. If the filter integrity is damaged, please dispose of the filter and purchase a replacement. 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. Thanks, RIDGID

          not a factory fit for older Craftsman 16 Gal. Shop Vac
          This did not fit well on my older Craftsman 16 gal. shop vac. I made it work, but it is actually a little too long.

              Does not fit the VacMaster wall mounted vacuum
              I purchased the wall mount VacMaster vacuum from Home Depot online. The order system recommended I also purchase a 2-count package of replacement filters (Rigid brand). I thought that would be a good idea. It wasn't. These filters will not fit the VacMaster vacuum. The Vaacmaster filter is open on top and bottom, the Rigid ones suggested here are closed on top and so cannot fit. (see picture attached) I gave the filters high marks for the review because I suspect they work well in OTHER vacuums but not the VacMaster wall mounted one.

                Thus filter is more than adequite for shop and jobsite work. It fits tightly on the vac so there is no leakage around the filter. I use it for collecting dust from sanders and picking up dust that my larger dust collection system misses from my jointer, planer, table saw, etc.

                the 1-layer everyday dirt pleated paper filter fits perfectly on my 5 gal rigid wet dry vacuum. very easy to install, just unscrew the nut at the bottom of old filter, slide it down and install new filter, screw the nut on and done! takes mere minutes and you are ready to vacuum. there is no dust escape with this filter, it is contained in the vacuum holding tank. i have had this for about a month and love how well it works and meets all my expectations you may want in a filter.
