Description
Plastic vacuum tanks crack when rolled down rough concrete stairs and degrade under caustic machine coolant exposure. The Shop-Vac 5989405 8 Gallon 6 Peak HP Stainless Steel Wet / Dry Vacuum with Tool Kit provides durable slurry containment inside a reinforced metal vessel. It handles 8 Gallons under 6.0 peak HP. Emptying full liquid payloads requires manual tank lifting.
The recovery canister utilizes deep-drawn 304 stainless steel to prevent chemical etching from acidic toilet bowl cleaners and floor strippers. A commercial 6.0 peak Horsepower motor routes cooling air separate from moist tank air to protect internal motor windings from chemical corrosion. Four smooth-rolling swivel casters mount into a protective polymer base ring that prevents metal-to-floor contact.
Compact Stainless Slurry Recovery Hardware
Compact stainless design allows laboratory technicians and healthcare cleaners to sanitize spills without chemical odor absorption into tank walls. The comprehensive tool package handles both wet squeegee work and dry crevice dusting.
- 8 Gallon 304 stainless steel canister resists chemical corrosion, acidic sanitizers, and rough impacts.
- 6.0 peak Horsepower vacuum motor produces strong waterlift suction for rapid liquid recovery.
- Protective polymer base ring shields furniture and walls from metal scuffs during room cleanups.
- Washable cartridge filter traps fine drywall grit and dust during facility maintenance tasks.
- Commercial tool set includes a flexible suction hose, three extension wands, floor nozzle, and crevice tool.
- Sturdy top carry handle allows single-hand transport across commercial facility job floors.
- Positive-locking metal latches clamp the motor head down tight to maintain high suction vacuum.
Vacuum Motor Suction Bench Telemetry
Pumping water through the floor nozzle draws 10.5 Amps from a standard 120 Volt electrical outlet under continuous load. Motor housing temperature stabilizes at 128°F after 30 minutes of continuous flood water recovery. Suction performance reaches 72 inches of waterlift at 100 CFM airflow. Operating sound output measures 74 dBA at five feet.
Facility Cleanup Application Field Rules
Healthcare facilities, commercial kitchens, and research laboratories maintain sterile cleanliness fast with this stainless vacuum. Do not use this vacuum for large warehouse flood restoration jobs because small tank volume fills fast. Never vacuum combustible solvents or fuel residues.
- Rinse the stainless steel canister thoroughly with clean water after recovering acidic chemicals.
- Shake loose grit from the cartridge filter and inspect the rubber lid gasket every 30 days.
- Wipe down the stainless exterior with protective metal cleaner to stop surface tarnishing.
