Q:Can I connect a hose to the vac in order to use it continually without emptying
by|Apr 9, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hello BillC, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. We offer a hose-to-drain adapter (part number VT2519) that allows you to connect a standard 5/8 garden hose to the drain port of the vacuum for easier drainage. You can find this adapter at your local Home Depot or online at homedepot.com. However, we do not recommend to simultaneously suck up water while draining the liquid to prevent any potential issues. If you have further questions or concerns, 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 Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support

        Q:We need to vacuum sawdust out of an attic. As a result we will need to use a hose 40 to 50 feet long. Will it be feasible to use this vacuum because it has a very high CFM? I presume the brand of hose may affect he resistance to air flow.

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello WCarp, Thank you for reaching out to us about our product. We're excited to help you find the perfect solution for cleaning up sawdust. Our vacuum is indeed suitable for picking up sawdust, making it an ideal choice for your needs. However, we want to ensure that you have the best experience possible. To maintain optimal suction power, we recommend keeping the maximum length of the hose under 27 feet. This will prevent any loss of suction and guarantee efficient cleaning every time. If you have any further questions or concerns, our dedicated Customer Service team is available to assist you. You can reach them at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time.
