DeWalt DCV517N 18V XR Cordless Wet & Dry Vacuum for the Jobsite

Built for the 18V XR Platform:

The DeWalt DCV517N is a cordless wet and dry vacuum designed for tradespeople already working within the DeWalt 18V XR system. It runs off any compatible 18V XR Li-Ion battery pack - including the DCB180, DCB181, DCB182, DCB183, DCB184 and DCB185 - so there is no need for a separate power source on site. The DCV517N is the bare-unit version of the DeWalt DCV517, supplied with no battery or charger.

HEPA Filtration and Tank Capacity:

The unit is fitted with a HEPA wet/dry filter that traps 99.97% of particles at 0.3 microns, making it capable of picking up fine construction dust including drywall and cement dust. The 1.9 litre tank handles larger volumes of debris between empties, and the single-latch tank removal allows for quick and straightforward emptying on site.

Two Modes of Debris Removal:

The DCV517N offers two clean-up methods: direct pick-up through the front utility nozzle, or via the extendable heavy-duty rubber hose which extends to 1 metre. The rubber hose can be stored on the handle when not in use, keeping the unit compact during transport. The 32 mm hose connection is compatible with standard site accessories.

Robust Construction and Protection Rating:

The DCV517N carries an IPX4 splash-protection rating, confirming resistance to water splashes from any direction. The machine weighs 1.8 kg without battery, making it a practical handheld option for moving between work areas. It has a maximum airflow of 15.9 litres per second and a negative pressure of 5 kPa.

Setup and Care

Getting Started:

The DCV517N accepts any compatible DeWalt 18V XR Li-Ion battery pack. Fit the battery, connect the hose or attach the front nozzle directly, and the unit is ready for use. The rubber hose clips onto the handle for easy storage between tasks.

Emptying the Tank:

Release the single latch to detach the tank, empty the contents, and reattach. The straightforward latch system means the tank can be emptied quickly without tools during a job.

Filter Care:

The HEPA wet/dry filter is washable. Rinse it under clean water when it becomes visibly loaded with dust, allow it to dry fully before refitting, and the filter will continue to perform at its rated efficiency. A clogged or wet filter fitted to the unit will reduce suction.

General Maintenance:

Wipe the exterior of the unit with a dry cloth after use on dusty sites. Store in a dry location with the battery removed. Inspect the rubber hose for wear or cracking periodically, and confirm the hose connections are secure before each use.
