Shop notes
Used on: Ridgid, Craftsman and many woodworking wet/dry vacs with the locking 2-1/2 in fitting.
The Ridgid 2-1/2 in universal hose fits most wet/dry vacuum inlets rated 2-1/2 in, with a receptacle nearer 2-5/8 in at the tank. Its working cuff is the same 2-1/4 in class as any 2-1/2 in shop-vac hose, so power-tool adapters cross over.
