Description
Thin-wall utility vacuums implode when fine plaster dust plugs paper filters and subjects plastic tanks to extreme negative pressure. The Lavex Pro 16 Gallon 6 1/2 Peak HP Polypropylene Wet / Dry Vacuum with Tool Kit resists vacuum collapse using a thick structural poly canister. It holds 16 Gallons under 6.5 peak HP. Fine silica dust requires a high-efficiency cartridge filter.
The recovery canister uses thick injection-molded polypropylene reinforced with perimeter ribs to prevent sidewall buckling under high waterlift. A 6.5 peak Horsepower single-stage motor features oversized commutators and high-flow cooling fans to dissipate thermal energy. Four heavy swiveling caster wheels press into wide outrigger feet to eliminate tipping when dragging hoses around framing studs.
Commercial Construction Cleanup Hardware Matrix
High motor horsepower pulls dense construction debris, sawdust, and spilled water through an extra-wide hose without clogging. The integrated rear blower port clears debris from workbenches and truck beds.
- 16 Gallon structural polypropylene canister withstands jobsite impacts and heavy tool drops.
- 6.5 peak Horsepower motor generates high-velocity suction to pull gravel, drywall chunks, and water.
- Wide outrigger caster feet provide exceptional rolling stability across rough subfloor surfaces.
- Built-in bottom drain plug allows operators to dump liquid waste without lifting heavy tanks.
- Rear blower port converts the vacuum into a powerful directional blower to clear shop benches.
- Complete commercial tool kit includes a 7-foot lock-on hose, extension wands, floor nozzle, and crevice tool.
- On-board accessory storage slots keep all included cleaning nozzles organized right on the caster feet.
Motor Suction Load Bench Telemetry
Operating under heavy dry drywall sanding recovery draws 11.8 Amps from a standard 120 Volt circuit. Motor housing temperature stabilizes at 132°F after 40 minutes of continuous construction dust extraction. The vacuum core generates 76 inches of waterlift suction at 115 CFM airflow. Operating sound output measures 75 dBA at five feet.
Jobsite Renovation Scope Field Directives
Drywall contractors, commercial remodelers, and woodworking shops clear heavy renovation debris fast with this poly vacuum. Do not vacuum fine crystalline silica dust without installing an OSHA-compliant high-efficiency cartridge filter. Never use this vacuum without the internal foam sleeve during liquid spill extraction.
- Tap drywall dust out of the pleated cartridge filter over a waste bin after every work shift.
- Rinse the poly tank with water and air-dry after recovering muddy water or drywall paste.
- Inspect the lock-on hose collar for cracked locking tabs every 30 days of jobsite service.
