Ridgid 31743 Wet Dry Vac Hose Adapter

Product Description

The RIDGID 31743 is a hose adapter attachment designed for use with wet/dry vacuums. It connects vacuum hoses to compatible ports or accessories, allowing technicians and tradespeople to extend or adapt their existing vacuum setup for a wider range of cleanup and debris-collection tasks. The adapter is a direct-fit accessory suited for job site use, where fast, reliable connections between vacuum components are essential. It ships as a single unit and is not rated as ESD-safe, making it appropriate for general-purpose wet/dry vac applications rather than sensitive electronics work.

This adapter is intended for use with wet/dry vacuums in residential and commercial trade settings. HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors frequently use wet/dry vac attachments to manage debris, liquids, and fine particulates during installation and service work. The 31743 is well suited for job site cleanup scenarios where standard hose connections need to be adapted to fit different vacuum ports or tool inlets.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or accessory adapter for RIDGID wet/dry vacuum systems. No specific model numbers were identified in the product data — confirm fitment against your vacuum model before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation requires no tools — the adapter connects directly to the vacuum hose or port by hand. Before attaching or removing any vacuum accessory, power down the vacuum and ensure the unit is unplugged. Do not force the adapter onto incompatible fittings, as this may damage the hose collar or port housing.
