Shop-Vac Ash Vac

No, this vacuum is strictly designed for cold or warm ash that is under 100°F (40°C). Attempting to vacuum hot embers or live coals poses a significant fire hazard and can damage the unit.

Battery compatibility varies by retailer and specific bundle, so please check your package contents carefully. If a battery is not included, you will need to purchase a compatible Shop-Vac 20V battery separately to operate the unit.

This model is specifically engineered for ash collection and uses a cartridge filter system. While it can handle dry material, it is not intended for fine drywall dust or heavy construction debris, which may clog the filter quickly.

Converting the unit is straightforward. You simply detach the hose from the intake port and attach it to the exhaust port on the blower side of the vacuum, allowing you to clear debris from your workspace.

No, this is a bagless system. The ash is collected directly into the 5-gallon stainless steel tank, which is designed to be emptied and cleaned out after each use.

Runtime depends on the amp-hour rating of the 20V battery you are using. For most standard ash cleanup tasks in a fireplace or grill, a fully charged battery provides ample power to complete the job without needing a recharge.
