A Sanitaire SC887B earns its keep in schools, offices, and hotels because it is simple and it keeps running. What wears out first is not the motor: it is the collection end. The outer bag takes years of being dragged along baseboards and door frames, and the dirt cup gets dropped, cracked, or loses the latch that holds it shut. This is the complete bag and dirt cup assembly that puts that end of the machine back to original condition.
The SC887B is the dust cup version of the Quick Kleen upright, and the EZ Kleen system is what makes it fast to service: the quick-release latch lets the dust cup pivot away from the bag so a custodian can empty it in seconds without pulling the machine apart or fighting a full liner in a hallway.
Buying the assembly complete matters here. Piecing the collection end back together from a bag, a cup, and the hardware in between is where mismatched parts cause leaks, and a leak at the collection point is what puts fine dust back into the air and into the motor. A complete assembly seals the way it did new.
Use cases
Replace the assembly when:
- The outer bag has torn, worn through at a seam, or lost its shape
- The dirt cup is cracked or no longer seats and seals against the bag
- The quick-release latch will not hold the cup closed during use
- Dust is escaping at the collection end and settling around the machine as you vacuum
- You are refurbishing a fleet machine and want the collection end back to original spec

Frequently asked questions
What is included in this assembly?
It is supplied as the complete collection assembly for the SC887B, the bag together with the dirt cup components, rather than a bag or a cup sold separately. That is what keeps the seal correct at the joint between them.
Will it fit an SC887 or other Sanitaire uprights?
It is specified for the SC887B. Sanitaire dust cup parts overlap across the SC887 and the Eureka C2132 and C2133 series, but the correct assembly depends on the exact machine, so send us the model and serial from the plate on the vacuum and we will confirm.
How does the dust cup system work compared to a paper bag machine?
The dust cup collects debris in a rigid cup that unlatches and pivots away for emptying, so there is no consumable to buy on a schedule. A paper bag machine traps finer dust in the bag media but requires you to stock and change bags.
How do I know the collection end is leaking?
Look for a fine film of dust on the outside of the machine and on the floor just behind it after a pass, and check the bag seam and the cup gasket for gaps. Leaks at the collection point also show up as a dusty smell and as faster-than-normal filter loading.
