Ridgid VF-5000 3-Layer Fine Dust Filter ( 72952 )

HIGHLIGHTS:

The RIDGID VF5000 is a high-efficiency 3-layer pleated filter designed specifically to capture fine dust particles that standard filters might miss. It is the ideal upgrade for professionals and DIYers dealing with specialized debris like drywall dust, cement dust, or fine powders. With its advanced 3-layer construction, it traps 99% of particles as small as 1 micron, ensuring cleaner exhaust air and a safer working environment.

Like all premium RIDGID filters, the VF5000 features the patented Qwik Lock™ Filter Fastening System. This allows for a secure, tool-free installation and quick removal for cleaning. The filter media is tough enough to be washed and reused, maintaining high performance over multiple projects. Its blue color coding makes it easy to identify as the "Fine Dust" specialist in your tool kit.

This filter is engineered for a universal fit across the RIDGID lineup, accommodating 5 to 20-gallon wet/dry vacuums. It is perfectly compatible with the heavy-duty 6 gal, 12 gal, and 16 gal models, providing the extra filtration needed when sanding wood, installing drywall, or cleaning up cold fireplace ash.
