WHI-GN VF3500 Filter Replacement + VF3501 Bags for RIDGID 3-4.5 Gal Vac

Overview

Designed for RIDGID 3-4.5 gallon wet/dry vacuums, the WHI-GN VF3500 replacement kit combines two 3-layer cartridge filters with VF3501 bags and a small brush in one convenient bundle. The aim is to help maintain steady airflow, minimize clogging, and simplify routine cleanup in busy workshops.

The VF3500 cartridge filter uses rugged PET material with a 3-layer pleated design that captures particles as small as 0.5 microns. This filtration helps keep the air in your workspace cleaner as you work with wood dust, drywall debris, and everyday shop grime. The VF3501 bags provide a second filtration line, trapping fine dust and micro-particles before they reach the bag, helping to reduce bag overfill and potential spills.
