A:  Hello Jimmy1989, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. We are sorry to know you are having problems with the hose of the vacuum. With vacuums that is an old model that have the inlet port on the lid on the vacuum uses a different type of end hose interlock of the vacuum, the interlock that included with the new hoses doesn't fit the older model vacuum. If you no longer have the old end hose interlock we can send it to you at no cost. You may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com in order for us to send the part.

                  Answer This Question

                  A:  Hello Eric 7775216, Thank you for your inquiry about our products. The WD40801 comes with a 1 7/8" hose. You may purchase the same hose which is the VT1720 and connect it to the hose that came with your vacuum to extend the reach of the hose. The total reach it will provide is 14". However, the connection between the 2 hose is only friction fit, please do not pull the vacuum by the hose to prevent the 2 hose disconnecting from each other. If you have further questions or concerns, you may call Customer Service at 1-800-474-3443 from Monday to Friday between 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Central Time or email us at info@ridgidvacs.com Thank you, RIDGID Customer Support
