The Hood Gasket (part# 30079B) is the sealing gasket between the hood and body of these 30-inch wide-area vacuums, keeping the airway airtight where the top hood meets the machine. 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.

What the Hood Gasket does

The hood gasket forms the seal along the joint where the hood closes onto the body. It stops air from leaking in at that seam so all the airflow the motor generates is drawn through the bag and filters rather than bypassing them. A sound hood gasket is part of what keeps these machines pulling full suction across its wide cleaning head.

Signs the Hood Gasket needs replacing

Replace the hood gasket when it is flattened, hardened, cracked, or torn, or when the hood no longer seals evenly and you can feel or hear air leaking at the seam. A common symptom is suction that stays weak even after the bag and filters are renewed — an unsealed hood joint lets outside air in and robs the machine of pickup. Renew the gasket whenever the hood is opened for other service and the old seal looks compressed.

Installation and fit

Peel the old gasket from its channel, clean the surface, and seat the new 30079B gasket fully along the sealing groove so it is not pinched or twisted. Close the hood and confirm it seats evenly with no gaps before running the machine. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Tacony equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Hood Gasket do on the CleanMax CM-WAV?

It seals the joint where the hood meets the body so air is drawn through the bag and filters instead of leaking in at the seam.

How do I know if my CM-WAV hood gasket needs replacing?

Replace it if it is flattened, hardened, cracked or torn, or if suction stays weak with a clean bag and filters because the hood joint is leaking air.
