Attention Craftsman Users: Our filter is designed to accommodate most Craftsman® brand vacuums manufactured from 1988 to the present, with a capacity of 5 gallons or more. If you’re seeking a replacement for your red-stripe filter, part number 17816, our filter is precisely what you need. However, please note: If your current filter features rubber across one side that snaps over a ball, kindly reach out to us before placing your order, as you’ll require our Filter Adapter Kit for compatibility.

Unsure if our filter will suit your Craftsman® vacuum? A helpful indication is if your current filter utilizes a filter cap and wingnut to secure it onto the filter cage; in this case, our filter is compatible. Additionally, if you require replacement cap and wingnut components, we offer those as well! Should you encounter any challenges with the filter fitting your vacuum, please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance; we’re dedicated to ensuring your satisfaction.

 

Attention Ridgid Users: Our filter is compatible with select Ridgid® brand vacuums. If you’re seeking a replacement for your vf4000 filter, characterized by its open design on both sides, our filter is the perfect solution. Please note: If your current filter features rubber across one side, designed to snap over a ball for secure attachment to the vacuum, our filter will not be compatible. For first-time buyers of a filter for your Ridgid® vacuum, you’ll also require our reversible cap and wingnut to securely fasten our filter onto your vacuum.

 

 

Should you encounter difficulty during assembly and find the cap does not fit, try flipping it over to the alternate side. If you encounter any issues with the filter fitting your vacuum, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us for assistance; we’re here to help.
