Handle Back B431-3314C

The Handle Back B431-3314C is the genuine Tacony OEM rear handle housing — the updated “new strain relief” version molded in tough black Xenoy — used on CleanMax Zoom and Riccar SupraLite commercial ultra-light-weight uprights. It forms the back half of the upper handle, enclosing the internal wiring and the power-cord strain relief, and it is the surface the operator grips and guides the machine with.

Xenoy is an impact-resistant engineering polymer chosen for handle housings because it absorbs the knocks and drops a commercial upright takes every day without cracking. The Handle Back B431-3314C carries the revised strain-relief design, which grips the power cord where it exits the handle and stops the cord from being tugged loose or fraying at the entry point — a common failure on older housings.

Replace the Handle Back B431-3314C when the housing is cracked or broken, when the screw bosses that hold the two handle halves together are stripped, when the strain relief no longer holds the cord firmly, or when the handle flexes or rattles in use. A broken handle back exposes the internal wiring and makes the machine unsafe to run, so it should be replaced promptly. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing CleanMax and Riccar equipment since 1956 and supplies genuine Tacony housings.

Installation means separating the front and back handle halves, transferring the wiring and switch to the new back, and reseating the cord in the strain relief — disconnect the vacuum from power first.
