Milwaukee HEPA Replacement Filter for M18 BLCV2, 4932501203

Milwaukee 4932501203 HEPA Filter for the M18 BLCV2 Vacuum

Milwaukee 4932501203 is a genuine replacement filter cartridge for the M18 BLCV2 cordless compact vacuum. Supplied singly, 1 piece per pack. EAN 4058546639198.

This is the part, not the machine

What you order is the filter itself: a white pleated element in a red frame with two built-in tabs. The tabs are why the cartridge comes out with two fingers, no tool, without touching the dirty face. The M18 BLCV2 designation is compatibility - no vacuum ships with this article.

Which machine it fits

The only compatibility Milwaukee publishes for this article is the M18 BLCV2 (M18 BLCV2-0) - the brushless compact vacuum the manufacturer rates as an L class machine. The neighbouring filters in the same group, for the FBPV2 and the M18BLHSB, are separate articles and are not interchangeable. Check the marking on your machine before ordering.

What it captures and what it is for

The filter captures 99.97% of all particles greater than 0.3 microns and the manufacturer labels it HEPA. It is for dry debris only - concrete dust, sawdust, drywall dust. Those fine particles are the problem on site: silica dust is invisible in the air, harmful to the lungs, and settles for hours after work.

Cleaning, replacement and what to check

The cartridge is dry-cleanable and reusable: tap it out or blow it through from the inside out, along the pleats, not across. Do not wash it - wet media distorts as it dries and then lets dust through. Replace it when suction does not come back after cleaning, when the pleats are grey all the way down, or when the frame is distorted. On refitting, check the frame seats evenly all round: if it does not, dust goes past the filter.

The number printed on the filter

The white face is printed HEPA Filter 49-90-1948 - Milwaukee's number for the same part in North America. The European number is 4932501203, and the manufacturer publishes this photo under it.
