Paper Bag (Bulk Single) B211-8800

The paper bag (part# B211-8800) is a single disposable paper vacuum bag with a moulded plastic collar, sold individually from bulk. Tacony catalogues it as a paper bag, bulk, plastic collar. It is the everyday consumable for Tacony-built ultra-lightweight uprights where HEPA media is not required.

This is a genuine Tacony OEM bag. On the Tornado CK ULW 13/1 it appears at callout 23 of the factory handle and body assembly sheet, listed as an alternative to the Type L HEPA bag and its six-pack.

Compatible Models for the Paper Bag B211-8800

• Tornado: TV280-W12-U (CK ULW 13/1)
• Tacony ultra-lightweight uprights using the same plastic-collar paper bag

The collar is what decides fit. The Tornado CK ULW 13/1 is confirmed from its own factory sheet; for anything else, the safest check is to compare the collar on your old bag, or call with the model number and we will match it before you order.

What the paper bag does

It collects the dirt and filters the air on the way through. Dust-laden air enters through the collar, the paper holds the debris, and the filtered air passes on toward the motor. Paper is a surface filter, which is why a paper bag loses airflow faster than HEPA media once it starts to load — the dust builds on the inside face rather than through the depth of the material.

When to change it

Change the bag when it is roughly two-thirds full, or sooner after fine dust. The signs are the familiar ones: less pull at the nozzle, a motor note that climbs, the machine pushing harder across carpet, or a musty smell on the exhaust. Never run the machine with a torn bag — debris that gets past the bag goes straight to the motor.

Fitting the bag

Unplug the machine. Open the bag compartment and lift the old bag off its mount by the collar, closing the collar before carrying it to the bin. Push the new bag squarely onto the mount until the collar is fully seated, then close the cover. If the cover will not close easily, the collar is not seated — reseat it rather than forcing the cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a single bag or a pack?

It is a single paper bag, sold individually from bulk with the plastic collar already fitted. Buy as many as you need rather than a fixed pack.

Which machines does the paper bag B211-8800 fit?

It is confirmed on the Tornado CK ULW 13/1 (model TV280-W12-U), where it is one of three bag options listed under callout 23 of the factory handle and body assembly sheet. Bags go by mount and bag type rather than by badge, so it suits Tacony ultra-lightweight uprights taking the same collar.

Paper or HEPA — what is the difference?

The paper bag is the everyday consumable and costs less; the Type L HEPA bag (B220-5382C) uses multi-layer media that holds much finer dust and keeps its airflow longer as it loads. Both mount the same way, so you can move between them whenever you like.

How often should I change it?

Change it at about two-thirds full. Suction drops off well before a bag looks full, and a paper bag that is packed tight makes the motor work harder. Change it straight away after fine dust such as plaster or powder, whatever the bag looks like.
