Which RIDGID vacuums do these bags fit?

They replace part VF3501 and are listed for the WD40500, WD40700, WD40501, WD45500 and WD45220 wet/dry vacs. Check your model number before buying.

Can I use these bags for wet pickup?

No. These are dry-use filter bags. For water and wet debris, run the vac without a bag and use the wet filter setup.

Do these bags replace the cartridge filter?

No. They work alongside the cartridge filter, catching fine dust before it reaches it. Keep the cartridge filter installed.

They are described as high-efficiency allergen bags, not HEPA-rated. They capture fine dust well but are not a certified HEPA system.

How many bags come in a pack?

The pack contains 6 replacement bags.

Will a bag reduce suction?

A clean bag generally keeps suction steady by protecting the filter. A full bag restricts airflow, so replace it when it fills.

Our take on the RIDGID VF3501 Filter Bags

These are high-efficiency filter bags for RIDGID wet/dry vacuums, sold as a 6-pack replacement for part VF3501. They fit several 4- to 4.5-gallon models, including the WD40500, WD40700, WD40501, WD45500 and WD45220. The fine-media bag traps dust and allergens inside so the vacuum's filter clogs less and emptying is cleaner. They are a consumable, so the value question is how many bags you go through against how much dust you pick up.
