WHI-GN VF6000 Filter Replacement Kit for RIDGID Vacuums – 5-Layer HEPA Cartridges + 5 Bags

Upgrade RIDGID vacuum filtration with WHI-GN

The WHI-GN VF6000 Filter Replacement Kit brings a practical, high-efficiency filtration solution to your RIDGID wet/dry vacuum. This bundle pairs two 5-layer HEPA cartridges (97457) with five VF3502 vacuum bags (23743), plus two filter covers and a small brush. Built for reliability across a wide range of RIDGID models from 5 to 16 gallons, it supports easier maintenance and cleaner disposal after every cleanup.

What’s inside the kit

• 2 x VF6000 cartridge filters (97457)
• 5 x VF3502 vacuum bags (23743)
• 2 x filter covers
• 1 x small cleaning brush

Filtration and dust control

The 5-layer HEPA-style cartridge design targets fine dust and debris, helping to sustain strong suction and reduce recirculation of particles in the air. The included filter covers act as a shield, reducing dust contact with the filter itself and potentially extending the time between changes. This combination contributes to a tidier canister and a simpler maintenance routine after each round of cleanup.

Compatibility and notes

VF6000 cartridges are compatible with RIDGID vacuums from 5 to 16 gallons, while VF3502 bags are designed for 12 to 16 gallon models. If your unit is in the 5–10 gallon range, you can use the cartridge, but the bags may not fit. Bags require a nozzle-style connection; hoses or top connections may affect fit. Always verify your model’s setup before replacing components.

Usage tips

• Before swapping parts, power down and unplug the vac for safe maintenance. Use the included brush to loosen stubborn debris on surfaces.
• Keep a regular replacement cadence to sustain suction and minimize dust spread during emptying.

This kit offers a flexible, ready-to-use solution for maintaining RIDGID wet/dry vacs, with attention to filtration quality and convenient disposal. Consider it as a practical option for keeping your workspace cleaner and your vacuum performing closer to its best, without promising guaranteed results.
