InterVac Y21 Motor Filter – Replacement for RM, F, H, GV (GarageVac) & GH Models

The InterVac Y21 Motor Filter is a white, pleated filter that protects the motor in your central vacuum system. You use this replacement filter for the RM, F, H, GV (GarageVac), and GH models. Most users do not need to buy it separately because genuine InterVac dust bag sets already include one motor filter with every 5 dust bags.

What is the Y21 Motor Filter and Why Do You Need One?

The motor filter sits right before the motor and catches fine dust particles that pass through the dust bag. Over time, this filter becomes clogged and reduces suction power. Therefore, you replace the Y21 motor filter to keep your motor clean and maintain strong performance. So your central vacuum runs efficiently and lasts longer.

When Should You Replace the Motor Filter?

InterVac recommends changing the motor filter after every 5 dust bag changes. Because genuine dust bag sets come with one motor filter included, most customers replace the filter at the same time they install the fifth new dust bag. This means you keep the correct replacement schedule without extra cost or guesswork.

Key Features of the InterVac Y21 Motor Filter

This filter uses high-quality pleated material that captures fine dust effectively while allowing good airflow. It fits perfectly in the RM, F, H, GV (GarageVac), and GH models. Plus, the precise design ensures easy installation and a tight seal so no dust bypasses the filter.

Who Needs the Y21 Motor Filter?

Owners of RM, F, H, GV (GarageVac), and GH central vacuum models use this filter when their current one becomes dirty or clogged. If you buy genuine InterVac dust bag sets, you usually receive a new filter with them. However, if you run out of filters or need an extra one, the Y21 provides a direct replacement to keep your motor protected.

Easy Installation and Compatibility

You can replace the Y21 motor filter quickly by opening the unit and swapping the old filter for the new one. It fits exactly in the RM, F, H, GV, and GH models. After installation, your motor stays cleaner and your vacuum maintains strong suction power.

Built for Everyday Reliability

InterVac designs this motor filter to protect your vacuum’s motor for the recommended 5-bag life cycle. Whether you use it as a standalone replacement or along with dust bags, the Y21 helps extend the life of your central vacuum system and keeps it running at peak efficiency.
