Bushing 1/4″ MPT x 1/8″ FPT 7AG002
$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM reducing bushing, 1/4 inch male pipe thread to 1/8 inch female pipe thread (part# 7AG002), for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S plumbing.
The Bushing 1/4″ MPT x 1/8″ FPT (part# 7AG002) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the reducing bushing that adapts a 1/4 inch male pipe thread down to a 1/8 inch female port.
What the Bushing 1/4″ MPT x 1/8″ FPT does
A reducing bushing lets a smaller fitting live in a larger port without rebuilding the run around it, and it does that in a single body so there is only one extra joint instead of two. The step down does restrict flow at that point, which is fine where the branch is a control or gauge take-off and is exactly why the size is specified rather than left to whatever adapts.
When to replace the Bushing 1/4″ MPT x 1/8″ FPT (7AG002)
Replace it when either thread is damaged or galled, when the hex or internal drive is rounded, or when the body shows a crack. If a joint at the bushing keeps weeping after being resealed properly, the bushing has usually been overtightened and distorted.
Bushing MPT FPT 7AG002 — fitment and installation notes
Seal both threads correctly, remembering the bushing makes two joints and either one can leak. Wrench on the bushing body, not on whatever is threaded into it, and do not substitute a straight adapter of a different size to make a fitting reach. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
