The 8-32 Hex Lock Nut (part# 30074) is an #8-32 hex lock nut used on these 30-inch wide-area vacuums where an #8-32 joint must resist vibrating loose; this one is not used with the X2404 handle locator mount. Fits Tornado 93030, Tornado 93031, CleanMax CM-WAV and Powr-Flite PF2030.

These machines are built on the same wide-area platform under different brands and share the great majority of their parts.

This is a genuine Tacony hardware item used on the. The same size fastener may appear elsewhere on the machine and on other Tacony models; call 763-535-0770 to confirm the exact part and its position on your machine.

What the 8-32 Hex Lock Nut does

This lock nut threads onto an #8-32 screw or stud and resists backing off under vibration through its locking feature, keeping its joint tight between services. It is specified for #8-32 joints other than the X2404 handle mount (which uses its own screws), so it belongs at the machine’s general #8-32 lock points rather than the handle locator.

Signs the 8-32 Hex Lock Nut needs replacing

Replace the lock nut if it spins on freely (the locking feature is worn out), if it is corroded, or whenever it has been removed, since the lock is best fresh. A joint that keeps working loose despite the nut being tight is a sign the locking feature no longer grips and the nut should be renewed.

Installation and fit

Thread the new 30074 #8-32 lock nut onto its fastener and torque it; you should feel the locking feature engage before it seats. Do not reuse a lock nut whose grip is gone. Note this nut is not the handle-mount fastener — use the X2404 kit screws there. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Tacony equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony.
