This genuine OEM part is specially made for Ridgid wet/dry vacuums. It is an identical replacement for a damaged or a missing component that was installed on a new unit. When the liquid in the drum reaches a predetermined level, the float mechanism will rise automatically to cut off air-flow. To ensure the proper repair procedure, check the appropriate diagrams and the owner's manual for your model. Note, this high-quality float is made of durable material and is sold as an individual item.

Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Float
Which way does the float need to be installed in the cage? The sold part of the float toward the lid of the Vac, or the opened end of the float toward the lid?

Hello James, Thank you for the question. The Solid part of the Float would be the top going towards the Lid. We hope this helps!
