Why this filter stands out

Designed with a pleated media profile, the VF4000 delivers more surface area than many standard filters. This extra area helps balance suction with filtration, making it versatile for a range of tasks from dry dust to light liquids. The design aims to resist clogging more than comparable models, reducing interruptions during cleanup.

• Large surface area supports extended use between cleanings
• Washable and reusable, lowering replacement costs and waste
• Versatile for both wet and dry pickups in a single filter
• Durable construction designed to withstand routine shop cleanup

• Garage and workshop cleanup after cutting, sanding, or painting
• Basement or utility room tasks involving damp snapshots of debris
• DIY projects where both dry dust and liquid spills occur
