Handle Tube Bracket B431-2914E

The Handle Tube Bracket B431-2914E is the genuine Tacony OEM (modified) handle bracket used across CleanMax, Simplicity, and Riccar ultra-light-weight commercial uprights. It is the bracket that anchors the upper handle tube to the machine, holding the handle rigid where it meets the body so the operator can push, pull, and steer without the handle flexing at the joint.

The Handle Tube Bracket B431-2914E is the “modified” revision of the ULW handle bracket, meaning it supersedes an earlier design; it locates and clamps the handle tube at the body so the load from steering transfers into the chassis rather than into the plastic housing. A solid bracket is what keeps the handle from wobbling and what stops stress cracks from forming around the handle joint over time.

Replace the Handle Tube Bracket B431-2914E when it is cracked or broken, when the handle has become loose or wobbly at the body despite tight screws, or when the bracket no longer holds the handle tube square. Running a machine with a failed handle bracket puts the flexing load onto the housing and accelerates further damage. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing CleanMax, Simplicity, and Riccar equipment since 1956 and supplies the genuine Tacony bracket.

Installation means unbolting the old bracket and transferring the handle tube to the new one — disconnect the vacuum from power first and keep track of the fasteners.
