anyone got a Henry ?, i have a Henry clone and want to get some dust bags for it, i just want to know the diameter of the stub where it goes into bag, model numer would also be handy so i get the right ones

46.7mm on the micrometer. I have the standard red Henry. I think it's the HVR160. Looks the same on the advert.

Argos do cheap but good ones to fit my red Henry

braved the rain, mine is 62mm, be nice to know what machine with a name takes the same bag

Hole into bag is 2" or 51mm (only measuring with ruler)

On the bag it states Part No. SDB48/YYY432 10 pack std size paper construction

SDB140/YYY714 10 pack large capacity paper construction

SDB373 10 pack large microfibre (not paper) paper construction

HTH

done some digging and it seems to be obsolite, oh well the dog hair will have to stay where it is

People actually use bags in a Henry?

yup, without one the foam filter cant cope and the room gets full of dust, anyhow this one is old skool, around 30 years old

poped into a diy shop today and found some, came hope and tried it after an obligatry cuppa and it works like a demon again

Result!

They're good vacuums.

I've been using a Dyson upright, our old one partly to see at which point it explodes removed all the paper filters and it's totally full of metal filings and sounds like a bag of nails in a tumble drier but still working fine though very very loud
