Plug X9174
$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM plug (part# X9174) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S brush assembly. Closes an opening that has to stay closed for the assembly around it to work.
The Plug (part# X9174) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the brush assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the plug that closes an opening in the brush assembly and seals or covers it.
What the Plug does
A plug is often filling a hole that exists only because of how the part was made or assembled, and that makes it easy to dismiss as optional. It is not. In a wet, spinning assembly an open hole is a route for solution and fibre into places neither belongs, and on the vacuum side it is an air leak that quietly costs recovery performance across every pass.
When to replace the Plug (X9174)
Replace it when it is cracked, distorted, or no longer stays seated, and immediately if it is missing. A plug that keeps working its way out has usually lost its interference fit or the bore it sits in has worn, so check both before fitting a new one.
Plug X9174 — fitment and installation notes
Seat it fully rather than resting it in the mouth of the opening, and check the bore is clean of fibre and dried chemistry first. If a plug will not stay put in a worn bore, address the bore rather than gluing the plug in, since a glued plug turns a five minute job into a destructive one next time. 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.
