Craftsman CMXZVBE38754 Wet Dry Vac Filter

This filter is designed for Craftsman wet/dry vacuums with a capacity of 5 to 20 gallons manufactured after 1988. It uses the Qwik Lock fastening system, so if your current filter clicks into place without a nut or bolt, this model is compatible.

Yes, the pleated paper material is washable. Simply rinse it with water and let it dry completely before reinstalling. While washing extends the life of the filter, you should still replace it once the paper begins to tear or if it no longer cleans effectively after washing.

This is a general-purpose filter, making it ideal for everyday household dirt, sawdust, and typical job site debris. It is not designed for fine dust like drywall powder or cold fireplace ash, which may require a specialized fine-dust filter.

The Qwik Lock system is a tool-free attachment method that secures the filter to the vacuum cage with a simple twist-and-lock motion. It eliminates the need for extra hardware, ensuring a tight seal that prevents debris from bypassing the filter.

Yes, this filter is fully compatible with both wet and dry vacuuming tasks. However, if you are switching from wet to dry pickup, ensure the filter is completely dry before vacuuming fine dust to prevent clogging.
