The RIDGID 50338 1650RV is a 16-gallon wet/dry shop vacuum designed for pros and DIYers who need reliable suction and easy cleanup. With a motor-on-bottom design, a 6.5 Peak HP motor, and a wheeled cart, this vacuum handles everything from sawdust to standing water without tipping or straining your back.
The motor-on-bottom layout lowers the center of gravity, so the vacuum stays stable even when the drum is nearly full. The built-in drain port makes liquid disposal quick: just unscrew the cap and let gravity do the rest. A blower port turns the same machine into a powerful leaf and debris cleaner.
Whether you're cleaning a construction site, a workshop, or a flooded garage, this vacuum's drag-and-go mobility and easy-empty features save time. The included storage bag keeps attachments organized so you can reach for the right tool instantly.
Owners often look for the RIDGID 50338 parts diagram when servicing the motor or replacing the foam filter. The 1650RV motor is accessible from the bottom, and many common parts are available through RIDGID's service network. For help identifying a component or scheduling a RIDGID 50338 troubleshooting check, contact our support team and we'll point you to the right manual or replacement part.

Most shop vacuums put the motor on top, which makes the whole unit top-heavy. RIDGID flips that with a motor-on-bottom design: the center of gravity stays low, reducing tipping and making it easier to dump debris. You can also reach the motor quickly for maintenance.
The vacuum comes with a 2-1/2" adapter, a 1-7/8" extension wand, a general-purpose floor nozzle, a utility nozzle, and a storage bag. The Pro Hose locks securely into the tank and accepts 2-1/2" tools.
Clean the foam filter after each wet use and check the paper filter for dry debree regularly. Store the vac with the hose attached to the blower port or on the hook to keep the cord organized.
The parts diagram is available in the user manual and on RIDGID's service parts page. If you need a specific part, contact our support team and we'll help you identify and order the correct replacement.
The motor is serviceable; contact RIDGID customer service or an authorized service center for the 1650RV motor replacement. The motor-on-bottom design makes access easier.
The included 1-7/8-inch hose fits 2-1/2-inch accessories with the included adapter. Many RIDGID wet/dry vac accessories are compatible.
The drain port lets you empty liquids quickly; just open the cap and let gravity do the work. For dry debris, remove the motor assembly and tip the drum.
Yes, attach the hose to the blower port to clear leaves and debris from driveways and garage floors.
Suction is amazing.
I vacuumed a flooded basement and it handled it. The cart makes it easy to move.
This is the best shop vac I’ve owned. The motor on the bottom makes it much easier to tip over? Actually stable. I like the storage for the hose. The filter works well, but I wish it came with a better one. It’s powerful and the 16 gallon size is perfect. I recommend it.
He needed a new wet/dry vac and this one is great. He says the suction is strong.
