Riccar Type W HEPA Media Bags RWH-6 for Brilliance Uprights (6-Pack)

Genuine Riccar RWH-6 Type W HEPA media bags fit the Riccar Brilliance uprights: the BRLP, BRLD, BRLS and the Brilliance Retriever. Each pack holds six disposable bags. Riccar designed them to handle the dirt compression of the Brilliance's Tandem Air system.

Fits these Riccar vacuums

• Riccar Brilliance BRLP
• Riccar Brilliance BRLD
• Riccar Brilliance BRLS
• Riccar Brilliance Retriever (BRLD.RETRIEVER)

Not for the current Tandem Air uprights. Riccar says Type W bags won't fit the R30 models. The R30D Tandem Air Deluxe takes RNH-6 bags with a blue self-sealing collar, and the R40P Tandem Air Premium takes RPH-6 bags. The Radiance uses Type X bags (RXH-6).

Not sure which bag you need? Check the model number on the rating label of your vacuum. If it starts with BRL, this is your bag. Send us your model and we'll confirm the fit before you order.

Why genuine Riccar bags matter

• Made for Tandem Air. Riccar designed Type W bags for the way the Brilliance packs dirt into the bag.
• A sealed fit. Riccar tests its bags for fit at the connector, so dust can't leak around the collar.
• Strong seams. Riccar builds its bags to hold up to the pressure inside its vacuums. A torn seam lets dust past the bag.

When to replace it

• Bag: change it when the Brilliance's full-bag indicator comes on. The indicator measures airflow, so it also lights up for a clog.
• Fine powders: flour, drywall dust and similar powders can block the bag early. Riccar's manual says to change the bag anyway, even if it doesn't look full.
• Single use: the bags are disposable. Riccar warns that reusing one greatly reduces suction and filtration.
• To change it: open the bag compartment lid and press the bag tab to release the old bag. Seat the base of the new collar on the bag supports, lock the top with the bag tab, tuck in the corners and snap the lid shut.

Expert tip

"If the bag light comes on and the bag is only half full, check the hose and the brush opening for a clog before you swap the bag. The light reads airflow, so a sock in the hose looks the same as a full bag. Never run a Brilliance without a bag in place."

Frequently asked questions

Will Type W bags fit my Riccar R30D or R40P?

No. Riccar says these bags won't fit R30 models, which take RNH-6 bags. The R40P takes RPH-6 bags.

Are Type W and Type X bags the same?

No. Type W bags are for the Brilliance, and Type X bags (RXH-6) are for the Radiance. Order the type that matches your model.

Is the Brilliance still made?

Riccar no longer lists the Brilliance among its current vacuums, but it still sells RWH-6 bags for it.

Can I empty and reuse a bag?

No. Riccar's Brilliance manual says the bags are disposable and meant to be used once. A reused bag cuts suction and filtration.
