Durable, flexible, and lighter than other shop vac hoses.
This hose makes all the difference. It is so flexible, no more struggling to maneuver around. It rotates at the wand end and at the vacuum end so there is a tremendous amount of flexibilty. The hose is excellent quality. I bought 2 of these for my DeWalt wet/dry vacuums. You will not be dissapointed.

Good for the money
If you are replacing a cheap shop vac hose, this is a sturdy and useful upgrade, with lots of included adapters, including the snap-in style for common brands of shop-vacs. It is fixed-length, which can be an advantage, depending on your use-case.That said, reasonably sturdy lightweight and flexible fixed-length shop vac hoses seems to be the unattainable holy grail. Not sure why it’s so hard, as many home vacs seem to manage it.For my little 4 gallon shop vac and benchtop tools, the 1-7/8 diameter was still a bit heavier and stiffer than I would prefer, so I am swapping it out for a 1 1/4 inch hose, in hopes that it will be better. But that’s not the fault of this hose.
Candid Reviewer –
GREAT 1-7/8″ hose — same as RIDGID “Pro” hose, very flexible, no kinking, great fit!
[UPDATE 8-23-2016: After a little over a month of very frequent use, I remain extremely pleased with this hose. It’s an upgrade I should have made years ago, as it is so much more flexible and convenient that the OEM hose that came with my Ridgid 4-gallon shop vac.]This “WORKSHOP Wet Dry Vacuum Accessories WS17823A Wet Dry Vacuum Hose, 1-7/8-Inch x 10-Feet Heavy Duty Contractor Wet Dry Vac Hose for Wet Dry Shop Vacuums” is EXACTLY what I needed for my RIDGID portable shop vac (model WD4050, 4 gallon). In fact, this product is identical to the RIDGID-branded “pro hose,” except gray (instead of orange) and less expensive. I’ve had my shop vac for over seven years, but only recently has its original stiff hose begun to crack. Now that I’ve replaced it with this upgraded hose, I realize I should’ve invested in this upgrade years ago.The principal benefit is that this hose is MUCH more flexible than the original black hose that came with my shop vac, and therefore much less prone to kinking. It also allows for slightly better suction in spite of being three feet longer than the stock hose–presumably because the improved flexibility prevents the hose walls from collapsing or even compressing to restrict the air flow. Basically, I now have three additional feet of reach, moderately improved suction, AND considerably reduced stiffness/resistance from the hose as I maneuver it around obstacles and into corners and crevices. Awesome.The fit of the attachments is quite good. On one end, I installed the collar with the black locking tab, which fits and locks snugly in place on my RIGID vacuum’s port. On the other end, I installed an adapter with a “friction fit” collar that facilitates a snug connection to the wand attachment that came with my vacuum. Two other included fittings were not needed, but presumably allow the hose to accommodate additional sizes of outlet ports or attachments.Before installing them, I recommend that you test the fittings you need by matching them up to your shop vac and attachments. Once installed, they lock in TIGHT and are difficult to remove. Initially, I installed the collar with the red locking tab, but when it turned out to be too large for my RIDGID vac (the collar with the black locking tab was the proper size), it took a lot of force to pry it off the hose again. I can’t imagine why other reviewers have had problems with their attachments coming loose. They must have other brands of shop vacs with more unusual attachment points. Whatever the case, the vacuum end of my hose will not come off by accident. Perhaps the friction fit collar that attaches to the wand will loosen over time, but only time will tell. At the moment, it fits so snugly, I doubt it will be an issue.The only issue I have noticed thus far is an inconsistent whistling noise emitted by the hose. It’s not very loud, but plainly noticeable. However, it only happens intermittently. During several uses, I did not hear it at all. My guess is that it may be caused by a very small gap around one of the fittings or perhaps is an effect of the ribbed hose when it is held at a particular angle or curvature. The issue does not affect suction and usually, I can stop it simply by giving a tug on the hose and changing its position slightly. Not really a significant issue in my opinion, but something that may matter to others.All in all, this hose is a significant upgrade to any stiff plastic 1-7/8″ shop vac hose like the OEM version that came with the RIDGID WD4050 portable 4 gallon shop vac. However, if your shop vac is equipped with a larger diameter hose (i.e., greater than 2″), I would not recommend this particular hose, as it may restrict airflow, reduce suction, and place greater strain on your vacuum’s motor.

very tough but has no stretch in it
I wanted an extension to the included flexible hose to my new wall-mounted shop vac, hoping to be able to add it to my brand of vac, using the several adapters that I saw that it came with. Lo and behold, I was able to do just that, connecting it to the vac output end very snugly, whilst able to make to “splice” connection to the original “flexible” hose that came with the vac, creating an additional ten feet of reach to the nearly 20 ft. of reach using the original stretch hose. This hose appears much tougher than the original, but it is quite unstretchable, but has some flexibility, just enough to allow it to be stowed over my hooks. So far, it’s made a real difference enabling easy reach throughout the 21 foot square dimensions of the garage, and since I mounted the vac very near the garage exit, it allows easy accessibility to the full length of any vehicle parked in the driveway within around ten feet from the garage door. I will say the vac is a Dewalt branded one with 5 peak hp and 4 gal water pickup capacity, just so you can get the whole picture. I think it’s rather expensive for a mere ten feet of hose, but with the included adapters, it does allow significant value added to the wall mounted shop vac installation.Pics show joint details of the gray hose as it connects to the vac and to the end of the original hose.

Very good Vac hose
Fit my Dewalt stealthsonic perfectly. I can use it directly or use it as an extension for my origional hose.

Very Impressive Product – both in Design and Construction.
This is one of the most impressive products I have seen in a long time. The hose is truly industrial grade. Yet it is very flexible. The hose does not contract under vacuum or expand when used as a blower The kit includes all the cnessary couplers to adapt to both 2-1/2 and a 1-7/8 inch vacuum and accessories. The couplers are designed to swivel and they actually do swivel very smoothly.. Overall a great product at a reasonable price.
Jeremy Schuff –
A good hose option
Good hose, seems well made, with a good selection of fittings to attach to different size dust ports. My real go-to hose is the Bosch 16-ft, but this will also do the job in a smaller format.
David L. –
Larger and more flexible than the stock version that comes with the shop vac!

White River Customer Reviews –
I was looking for an extension hose for the DEWALT Cyclone Dust Separator DXVCS003. The attached three pictures show how the WORKSHOP Vacuum Accessories WS17823A and Hose fit with the DEWALT Dust Cyclone System.In my case it was more useful to have the black DEWALT hose on the suction tool end but one can also do it the other way around if needed. Main point is that there is a way to join (by simple friction fit) the two different hoses.One ends up with a circa 5m long hose attached to the dust cyclone inlet.Hope this helps others with similar requirements.On the black DEWALT hose end I am using the following Karcher suction tools :Karcher Car Vacuuming Nozzle for DN 35 Vacuum CleanerModel Number â2.863-316.0Karcher Car Brush 2-Piece Set for DN 35 Vacuum CleanerModel Number â2.863-221.0Karcher Crevice Extra Long Vacuuming Nozzle for SE 4001Model Number â2.863-306.0They all fit in to the end of the black DEWALT DXVCS003 hose by tight friction fit.

Product is durable and adaptable to increase the length of a shop vac hose. Several included adapters. Durable and bendable. Very happy with this product. Much less expensive then same length products from big box store.
