Chute Gasket 33502
$4.99
The Chute Gasket (part# 33502) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement seal for the wide-area vacuum family, and it fits more than one machine. This Chute Gasket sits where the vacuum dirt chute meets the housing, forming the airtight seal that keeps the suction path closed so debris travels up the chute into the bag instead of leaking back out at the joint.
Compatible Models for the Chute Gasket
On a wide-area vacuum the chute carries the full debris load lifted off a 28 to 30 inch cleaning path, so the seal at that joint takes constant abrasion and airflow. Over time the foam compresses, hardens, or tears and the joint begins to leak. Typical signs this Chute Gasket needs replacing are a drop in pick-up across the full width of the machine, fine dust escaping around the chute seam, a hiss at the joint under load, or visible crumbling of the old gasket when the chute is opened for service. Because it is a wear seal, most technicians replace it whenever the chute is opened for any other repair.
Installation is straightforward. With the machine unplugged, peel away the old gasket, clean the mating surface so no old foam or adhesive remains, then seat the new gasket evenly before closing the chute. A clean, even seat is what restores full suction. Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tacony equipment since 1956, and we stock the genuine 33502 part rather than a generic substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Chute Gasket do on the Tornado 93030?
It seals the joint between the dirt chute and the vacuum housing so all suction stays in the debris path. Without it, air and fine dust leak at the seam and pick-up drops across the machine full cleaning width.
How do I know if my Chute Gasket needs replacing?
Look for reduced pick-up across the width, dust escaping around the chute seam, a hiss at the joint under load, or a gasket that is compressed, hardened, cracked, or crumbling when inspected.
