Designed for use with any 2-1/2 in Dia Shop-Vac® hose, the mini dust collection separator fits over a standard 5 gal bucket to convert a shop vacuum into a two-stage dust collection system. The mini dust collection separator increases the capacity and efficiency of the typical Shop-Vac® by allowing heavier particles to drop out of the system before they reach the main container. Finer particles can also be trapped by adding a small amount of water to the bottom of the bucket. Clean-ups are easy because the mini dust collection separator just lifts off of the bucket. The mini dust collection separator makes shop clean-up a breeze.
