Someone else here did exactly this. You can see the setup in the link below. If you want to keep it looking even more original, I suppose you could glue a Heritage II fill tube adapter plate inside the original emptor and use that instead of the Heritage II/Legend/Legend II unit.

Please see the youtube video above posted by kirbyclassicIII- obviously a Sentria II bag can be installed on a Classic Omega.
What I want to do is outfit a Classic Omega to accept a HEPA disposable bag vs the current dump bag set up. I cannot use a dump bag system due to my allergies unless I get another household member to empty it which will not happen. So, I understand that I need a heritage II or Legend mini emptor. Obviously a heritage II or Legend fill tube will fit on that emptor. Will a sentria II fill tube fit as well?? | ||

Really? I'm sorry for the misinformation. I've tried it before, and it didn't work. Mine didn't fit on the Em-Tor, and there would be no place to clip the bag anyways. It seems your best option here is to track down a Heritage II Em-Tor and use that with the new HEPA Kirby bags that fit both the new F-Style connector and the older twist connector.

What you need is:
1X Sentria II outer bag 1X Heritage II/Legend/Legend II mini emptor 1X Heritage II thru G5 fill tube 1X G5 elbow 4X Long zip ties (2X for each end of the fill tube A note about the last item on the list, the elbow: Any elbow designed to be screwed into the Heritage II thru G5 fill tube will work, however the G5 elbow is the one I recommend. For one, it grips the fill tube better. For two, it grips the disposable bag better. Forr three, it has the loop and fork at the top enabling it to be suspended and supported inside the Sentria II outer bag. With this setup, you can use genuine Kirby HEPA disposable bags. The cardboard collars on these have the means to fit to both the F Type elbow, like the Sentria II uses, and the previous twist type elbow, like you would be installing in your setup. Regardless of the elbow you choose, you’ll actually be using the exact same HEPA disposable bag. Hope this clears things up. | ||

Hey
You can do it a few ways. Easiest Kirby needs is selling an emtor fill tube and sentria 2 topper
Buy that put your brown or rosewood emptor tray on bottom bag over the top. If you have emtor pocket cut it out and use that to access bag. You could see a zipper on yourself. I have done 4 setups. I had bag sewn for classic tradition I made my own and took out the style 1 bag put in sentria. They do make I believe a twist on.top sentria 2 style that fits heritage fill tube. I did one 2 days ago. So I have not read other posts but if you have set up spend $9 and get tube that is twist on. Les | ||

@Kelton: Correct! The elbow I am referring to is the piece which makes the connection between the flexible fill tube and the disposable bag. I call it an elbow, like how one might refer to the analogous 90-degree adapter for PVC piping, but I should have been more specific. Kirby may formally call this piece a “bag adapter,” but don’t quote me on it.
