Ridgid VF3500 3-Layer Fine Dust Filter
The Ridgid VF3500 is a 3-layer pleated paper filter sized for most Ridgid wet/dry vacuums 4.5 gallons and smaller, filtering finer dust than the standard 1-layer foam filter Ridgid ships with most of these models.
It uses Ridgid's QwikLock feature to snap on and off the vacuum head for cleaning, and it's washable and reusable rather than disposable.
Features and Common Uses
- 3 layers of pleated filtering material, more surface area than a single-layer foam filter
- Captures 99% of particles 1/2 micron and larger
- QwikLock feature snaps the filter on or off without tools
- Washable and reusable
Commonly used for:
- Fine dust cleanup: drywall dust, sawdust, concrete dust
- Replacing a worn or torn factory filter on a compatible Ridgid vacuum
- Upgrading from the standard foam filter for finer particle capture

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this fit my Ridgid shop vac?
Only if your tank is 4.5 gallons or smaller (it also fits the HDAV0500 ash vacuum). Ridgid sells different filter sizes for larger tanks, and they are not interchangeable.
Can I wash and reuse it?
Yes. It's a washable, reusable filter rather than a disposable one.
Is this a wet or dry filter?
It's the fine dust filter for dry pickup. Remove it before vacuuming water, the way you would any pleated paper filter.
