How to confirm it's your model
Find the vacuum's rating plate: it's usually on the bottom or under the bag compartment lid. It shows the exact model. If it matches the Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon or one of its variants (VJ507, VJ607, VJC507P, VFB511B, VOC507PF, VDBS), these bags will fit.
Tip: if you still have a used bag, check the cardboard collar. If it says VDBS, you're on the right track.
How to change the bag on the Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon
- Unplug the vac and release the latches to lift off the motor head.
- Remove the used bag by pulling its collar off the inner intake port and throw it away sealed.
- Push the new bag's collar onto the tank's intake port until it's secure.
- Spread the bag across the bottom of the tank and reattach the motor head.
- For picking up liquids, always remove the bag (and on many models the paper filter too).
How often should you change the bag?
It depends on what you pick up. Fine construction dust (drywall, cement, sanding) clogs it in one or two sessions; cleaning out the garage or car it can last months. The clear sign is a loss of suction.

Frequently asked questions
What bag does the Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon take?
The Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon uses Vacmaster VDBS / VHBS (5–6 gal) bags. The genuine part number is VDBS (also listed as VHBS). Compatible bags that list that part number or the model in the title also fit.
Do compatible bags work in the Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon?
Yes. Good-quality compatible bags have the same cardboard collar and are usually multi-layer microfiber, which filters as well as or better than the original paper. Pick packs with lots of reviews that list part number VDBS.

Can I use the Vacmaster 5–6 Gallon without a bag?
Yes, and you must remove it to pick up liquids. For dust and dry debris, always use a bag: it protects the filter, maintains suction, and keeps fine dust from blowing out the exhaust.
