A:  Hello Earl, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. The LA2570 will fit the newer RIDGID model vacuums. However, it will still fit the older RIDGID model vacuums with the use of the old end hose interlock. We do not have a DW16360 model, what we do have is a WD16360. If your vacuum is the WD16360 which is an older model RIDGID vacuum, in order the LA2570 to fit the vacuum, you need to have the old end hose interlock, if you no longer have that interlock, we can send you one 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 you to request for the old end hose interlock since you will be purchasing a new LA2570. Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support

A:  Heat the expansion cuff in hot water from the tap. Once heated, pull and twist the adapter and expansion cuff apart.

A:  Hello John, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. Adapters can be very difficult to remove once installed in one of the expansion cuffs. Alternatively, you may special order the expansion cuff (part number 831330) at your Home Depot’s prodesk or special orders desk.

A:  Hello Samson, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. The hose size for the WD06250 is the 2 1/2" diameter. The current replacement vacuum for your vacuum is the LA2520 which is 7' length, LA2521 which is 14' length and LA2522 which is 20' length.

A:  Hello jm123, Thanks for your inquiry about our product. No, it does not come with a hose-to-hose adapter. You can buy our VT1755 3-piece adapter kit that includes a 2-1/2" hose-to-hose connector. Keep in mind that the recommended length of hose should not be over 27 feet to avoid suction loss.
