Accessories & Filtration

Learn which grout vacuum nozzles actually deliver: minimum 80 inH2O and 55 CFM, how adapters and hose size kill airflow, and the fixes that prevent wet lines.

Prioritize containment over “will it fit” using a risk-based checklist and quick field tests to decide when OEM parts are mandatory and when vetted generics will pass. Verify seals, documentation, and CFM to keep your vacuum setup HEPA-compliant and inspection-ready while avoiding costly fines.

Measure ports precisely, then choose rubber or plastic based on temperature, abrasion, and static needs to eliminate leaks and kinks, stay flexible in cold weather, and maximize airflow across the dust collection system.

Use measured airflow and containment data to choose between foam, paper, and true HEPA - and pair them with pre-separators - to keep suction high and fine dust contained. Get maintenance intervals and cost-per-hour tradeoffs to prevent clogs, extend filter life, and meet silica requirements.
