The Craftsman shop vac filter nut is a component of the filter assembly on Craftsman shop vacuums. The filter nut is used to secure the filter in place and prevent it from coming loose during use.
To remove the filter nut, you can try the following steps:
- Unplug the shop vac from the electrical outlet.
- Open the lid of the shop vac and remove the filter.
- Look for the filter nut on the underside of the filter assembly.
- Use a pair of pliers to grip the filter nut and turn it counterclockwise to loosen it.
- Once the filter nut is loose, you can remove it by hand.
To install a new filter nut, simply reverse these steps. Make sure the filter is properly seated in the filter assembly before tightening the filter nut to ensure a tight and secure fit.

The only reason this product didn’t get 5 stars was the challenge trying to clearly figure out whether it would fit once received. Otherwise – perfection.
Movie Buff –
Exactly what the doctor ordered. Replacement for my ridgid filter parts.

Perfect OEM replacement, except mine came without the nut and it was a pain in the a** dealing with everyone to get a replacement.

This fits perfect and works fine. I can’t say it’s a super exciting product, but it does exactly what I need, and so I’d call that a 5 star item.
TP –
Exactly as described. Fit perfectly.
R. P. Boylan –
Bought to replace original that was “accidentally” thrown away…and this is why you should never loan tools (even a shop vac) to neighbors, especially incompetent ones.

It did what it was suppose to do
Dan –
I’m so glad you can just buy this part as a replacement. When you misplace that tiny little screw, the entire vacuum is unusable. I was actually resorting to duct tape to hold the filter in place.

I purchased this for my parents since we’ve been using their vacuum a lot. My dad had created his own top. It’s way too easy to lose these when trying to clean up, especially when you have help.
allyn meester –
It was not the nut and the plate it was a nut and a screw-on cap drain plug the plate was not included the description is not what the item is
BigDawg48 –
Good item. All I really needed was the plastic screw due to the rubber being mounted to the filters now. Just like the factory screw. No issue’s what so ever!
Bill M. –

This product is hard to find but was an exact replacement match for a 1976 (yes 1976) Rigid shop vac filter canister lock in.

Not much to say, except it was a Godsend. I needed my 16 gal shop vac and couldn’t find the nut to put on the bottom of the filter. I found this on Amazon and sent for it, seeing as I couldn’t find one at Home Depot. It works perfectly, and saved me a lot of heartache. The only thing I can find is a foam filter that fits over the 16 gal filter.
