CleanMax Nitro CMNR-QD Upper Agitator Seal B283-1400
$3.99
Genuine Tacony B283-1400 upper agitator seal — closes the top of the brushroll chamber on the CleanMax, Carpet Pro, Fuller Brush, Simplicity, and Powr-Flite uprights it fits, keeping suction sealed at the nozzle.
The Upper Agitator Seal (part B283-1400) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part shared across multiple uprights — it fits CleanMax, Carpet Pro, Fuller Brush, Simplicity and Powr-Flite models. The full compatible-model list appears below.
This gasket closes the top edge of the brushroll chamber, the counterpart to the lower agitator seal that closes the bottom. Together they keep the nozzle airtight so the motor’s suction is concentrated on the carpet rather than leaking into the housing.
Like any gasket exposed to heat and constant airflow, the upper seal eventually hardens, compresses, or tears — and when it does, air bypasses the brushroll and floor pickup drops even though the belt and agitator are sound. Replacing this inexpensive seal is a simple way to recover lost suction at the nozzle.
