Product Details
The Shop-Vac® 16 gallon, 6.5 peak HP stainless steel contractor series wet/dry vacuum features SVX2 motor technology, making it suitable for job site cleanup, workshops, garages, and basements. The kit includes a foam/paper disc filter, a collection bag, and various accessories to optimize performance. The vacuum is rated at peak horsepower (PHP), which serves as a comparison metric in the wet-dry vacuum industry, although it does not indicate the operational horsepower. The airflow is measured in CFM (cubic feet per minute), and actual performance depends on variables such as hose size, accessory tools, and filter condition; dirty filters can significantly hinder suction and airflow. The sealed pressure (SP) suction pressure indicates the height a vacuum motor can lift a column of water, with maximum suction occurring at zero airflow. Overall vacuum performance is determined by the combination of suction and airflow, and factors such as dirty filters, leaks, and accessory attachments can reduce air power. The dimensions and specifications are designed for durability and versatility in various environments.
