I'm Planning To Replace The Shakeout Bag On My Sanitaire Sc886 To A ST Style Bag System Because I'm A Huge Allergy Sufferer! ST, Good or Bad. And How Do I Install It? |

All you'll need to do is purchase one of these. The ST bag adapter then slides onto the exhaust horn. I once found one online. I'll search around and see if I can't find it again.

It appears that this bag assembly already comes with the ST bag adapter.

I had converted my eureka to accept kirby bags and that had made a MAJOR improvement in airflow and filtration! |

My link is to the ST bag conversion at sears for $50...
I have an F & G sanitaire 670 (nice blue & chrome one) & a shake out sanitaire 888 (the wide red & chrome one). i'm going to buy the ST bag conversion, but what machine should i put it on? i could make my 888 an F & G, & make the 670 the ST or vice versa...although the aforementioned plan mixes up the OEM color scheme, the 888 is old faded & will probably be sold whereas the 670 is a daily driver at my mothers house.

okay @vac-o-matic i'm picking up what your laying down...ha ha.
see link for F & G (i think it doesn't actually say) bag conversion for $30 delivered. It does say "assembly" & i think that's important as there are plenty of very cheap replacement sanitaire outer bags to be found, but they lack a fill tube of any kind, neither the short F & G or the long ST one. I think a OEM ST style fill tube cost nearly $20 delivered so seems my original Sears link is better as the ST bag has the nifty double zipper for easier bag changes. But I did find a Kobelenz ST style on Ebay for $20 delivery (to the USA, as is everything i post, sorry you English blokes & others vac fans world-wide). see this link for that: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Koblenz-Cloth-Ba... looking to see if this Kobelenz does indeed take an ST inner (paper) bag. Kobelenz's are Sanitaire knock offs in the first place so it's good guess. CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK |

Which model Eureka vacuum? What type/model Kirby bag? was it an easy trade? in short could you flesh out your intriguing comment with these & other details please, (where did the idea come from? what type of carpet is being vacuumed etc.).
Another Sanitaire knock-off (or even re labeled Eureka's not sure) is the Oreck upright commercial line of vacuums (see link). Outer bags come in various versions like Sanitaire, but seem cheaper in price however. So we have Sanitaire, Eureka Commercial (Sanitaire's parent company), Oreck, Kobelenz, & lets not forget Powr-Flyte! (seems to be Kobelenz brand vacs relabeled). All seem to be nearly the same vac especially where the outer bags are concerned. & i'm not even an old timer vac guy! (btw lets here from one of you'all on this pls). Lastly there are many "Bojack" bags for the standard Sanitaire as it is probably the most common commercial vac in existence...or at least once was...these probably cost the least, but rarely seem to come as assemblies with tubes for inner bags, but rather simply shackout style bag replacements.

You just simply slide the "PLASTIC" kirby fill tube over the F&G fill tube and if you want you can roll the spring up over it or you can just leave it with out the spring. Either way the fill tube will stay snug on there. |

Twocvbloke, those bags will let up soo much power in that convertible as well as filter better and maintain airflow! |
