📋 Product Description

Buying Guide - What to check in a shop vac filter Three things decide whether a replacement cartridge fits your shop vac and keeps it performing: the model number stamped on the old filter (17816 / 9-17816 for most Craftsman wet dry vacuums since 1988), the tank capacity it is rated for (5 to 32 gallon and larger), and whether the filter media can be washed and reused instead of replaced every time. A red stripe cartridge that checks all three boxes is the pattern Craftsman shop vac owners have relied on for decades. How our filter compares Our 2-Pack Red Stripe Cartridge: 2 filters per pack, washable and reusable with included cleaning brush, FSC-certified media, wet and dry pickup, far fewer replacements, tool-free 10-second install. Basic Disposable Filter: 1 filter per pack, replaced each time it clogs, no cleaning brush, non-certified media, wet/dry pickup varies by model, tool-free 10-second install. Frequently Asked Questions Q: Will this fit my Craftsman shop vac? A: This 2-pack fits Craftsman Shop Vac models 17816 and 9-17816, covering 5, 6, 8, 12, 16, 32 gallon and larger wet dry vacuums. Check the number on your current cartridge before ordering. Q: How do I clean and reuse the filter? A: Lift the cartridge out, brush the pleats with the included cleaning brush, rinse it under running water, let it air-dry completely, and press it back in. Reuse it again and again until the media wears out. Q: How often should I change the filter? A: There is no fixed schedule - swap or clean it whenever suction feels weak. With 2 filters in the pack, you always have a spare ready. Q: Can it handle wet pickup? A: Yes. The cartridge handles both wet spills and dry debris; rinse and dry it after wet use before the next job.
