single vac bags for old vacs

[lightfoot]

I have a car wash built back in the 70's. About 4 of the vacs are original and use a single bag. They are round vacs (i haven't been able to find a brand name on them anywhere), about 18 inches in diameter. I used to order the single bags from Kleenrite, but they quit carrying them and can't tell me where to get them. The bags have a steel band which thread thru the sewn end of the bag (the open end) and is riveted together to form a circle and then they just snap in to place in a raised ring inside the vac about a foot above the door. Other than the bags, they are still in excellent condition (all stainless construction) so i can't see replacing the entire vac.

Does anyone here know where i can get these bags?

They're probably either Monorail or D&S vacuums. If you post a picture of them here, I'm sure someone can identify them.

Another option would be to use a JE Adams 2-bag style. You'd need to make the hole in the top of the tank bigger and buy a few parts, but those bags are mostly self-cleaning.

Thanks for the reply!
I found out from the previous guy that most are likely D & S. I have an email to D & S but haven't heard back from them yet. If they have the bags, i'll just order a few extra, but if i end up having to cut bigger holes, is there a way you recommend? That 1/8 " stainless is some pretty hard stuff.

thanks again for the quick reply

I don't know why my last post didn't show up, but thanks for the reply!

Sounds like my National Pride Vac bags. Just got some from them.

The flexible bag ring sits between a ring inside the tank and some sections of ring just below that ring.
