Product Details
The Shop-Vac® 18 gallon, 6.5 peak HP Contractor Series wet/dry vacuum features SVX2 motor technology, making it suitable for job site cleanup, workshops, garages, and basements. The unit includes an Ultra-Web® filter, which is a registered trademark of the Donaldson Company, Inc., and is constructed from poly material. The filter type consists of foam/paper disc and a collection bag. The peak horsepower (PHP) rating is intended for consumer comparison and does not denote the actual operational horsepower of the vacuum. CFM (cubic feet per minute) measures the quantity of air moved by the vacuum motor under specific conditions. Actual performance can vary based on hose type, size, length, accessories, and the filter system utilized. SP (sealed pressure) indicates the suction pressure, represented in inches, that the vacuum motor can lift a column of water. Maximum suction is achieved at zero air flow, with suction pressure decreasing as air flow increases. Vacuum performance, or air power, reflects the rate of work performed and is influenced by suction, air flow, and potential obstructions like dirty filters or leaks. The dimensions and specifications of the unit are designed to facilitate effective cleaning across various environments.
