Plastic Elbow Fitting 90° 1-1/2” FPT x 1-1/2” Slip PX11A
$11.99
Genuine OEM Plastic Elbow Fitting 90° 1-1/2” FPT x 1-1/2” Slip (part# PX11A) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. A ninety-degree FPT-to-slip plastic elbow that turns solution or recovery plumbing around a corner without choking flow.
The Plastic Elbow Fitting 90° 1-1/2” FPT x 1-1/2” Slip (part# PX11A) is a genuine OEM replacement part from the recovery and solution tank assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the 90-degree plastic elbow that turns the 1-1/2 inch vacuum line inside the tank.
What the Plastic Elbow Fitting 90° 1-1/2” FPT x 1-1/2” Slip does
This elbow makes a right-angle turn in the 1-1/2 inch recovery plumbing, joining a female-threaded port to a slip connection. Every fitting in the vacuum path is a potential leak, and an elbow is the most stressed of them because the airflow changes direction there and the joint carries hose load.
When to replace the Plastic Elbow Fitting 90° 1-1/2” FPT x 1-1/2” Slip (PX11A)
Replace it when the plastic is cracked, when the threads are stripped or cross-threaded, or when the slip joint no longer grips. Hairline cracks around the threaded collar are typical and they leak air long before they leak water — so the first symptom is lost suction, not a puddle.
Plastic Elbow Fitting PX11A — fitment and installation notes
Use thread sealant appropriate to plastic and hand-tighten plus a small turn; over-tightening a plastic FPT fitting splits the collar, which is the most common way this part gets destroyed during service. The Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S are the same machine platform sold under two brand names, so this component carries across both rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared component across the Tornado and Powr-Flite lines and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
