Kirby Cloth Bag Clamp Strap...
$6.99
Product details
This cloth bag clamp strap, part 196514S, secures the outer cloth bag to Kirby uprights from the Generation 3 through the Generation 6, the Ultimate G, the Diamond Edition, and the Sentria. The strap is what clamps the cloth bag in position on the machine so it stays where it belongs rather than hanging loose.
A broken or missing strap lets the cloth bag sag, twist, or pull away from where it should sit. The bag then catches on furniture and doorframes as the machine is moved, and the fabric starts wearing at the point it is being dragged from rather than at the point it was built to carry from.
A cloth bag clamp strap wears from repeated tension and handling rather than failing all at once, so a stretched, cracked, or missing strap is ordinary wear rather than a sign of a bigger problem with the machine. Confirm your generation against the nameplate on the machine before ordering rather than going by appearance, since the generations listed above are the ones this strap is sold for.
