Tee Union 1/4″ FPT 7AV001
$14.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 1/4 inch female pipe thread tee union (part# 7AV001) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S plumbing. Splits one line into two without adding extra joints.
The Tee Union 1/4″ FPT (part# 7AV001) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the three-way tee with 1/4 inch female pipe threads that branches a plumbing run.
What the Tee Union 1/4″ FPT does
A tee is where a single supply becomes two, and its geometry decides how evenly that split behaves. Doing it in one purpose-made body keeps the branch compact and gives three clean sealing surfaces instead of a chain of adapters, each of which would be another place to leak. On a pressurised solution line, fewer joints is not a preference, it is the whole design intent.
When to replace the Tee Union 1/4″ FPT (7AV001)
Replace it when any of the three threads is damaged or no longer seals, when the body is cracked, or when the flats have been rounded off. A tee that has had fittings in and out of it many times often has one port that will not seal no matter how carefully it is taped.
Tee Union FPT 7AV001 — fitment and installation notes
Seal and tighten each port in turn and check the others afterwards, since tightening one leg can loosen another. Orient the tee before final tightening so the branch points where the hose actually needs to run, rather than forcing a hose into a bend to reach a badly aimed port. 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.
