Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer A07

The Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer (part# A07) is a genuine Tacony OEM metal-stamped clip that holds the nozzle hose fitting securely where it joins the nozzle on a group of commercial uprights. Every time the hose flexes and the motor pulls suction, this small retainer is what keeps the fitting seated so the connection does not loosen or leak at the nozzle.

Being a stamped steel part at a stress point, it fails by bending, springing open, or simply going missing after a prior repair. When the A07 loses its grip, the nozzle hose fitting starts to wobble or back out, which lets air in at the joint and can eventually let the hose pull free. Fitting a fresh retainer restores a firm, rattle-free connection. It is an inexpensive part and installs in moments — the old clip lifts off and the new one snaps into place, no special tools required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer do on the CleanMax CMP-3N and CMP-3QD?

The Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer (part# A07) is a metal-stamped clip that locks the nozzle hose fitting in place where it connects to the nozzle. It keeps the hose fitting from backing out or wobbling loose under the pull of suction and the flexing of the hose during use.

How do I know if my Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer (part# A07) needs replacing?

Replace it if the nozzle hose fitting no longer clips in tightly, if the retainer is bent, sprung open, or missing, or if the hose works itself loose at the nozzle. Because it is a stamped metal part, a bent or fatigued A07 will not hold the fitting the way it should.

What models is the Nozzle Hose Fitting Retainer (part# A07) compatible with?

It fits the CleanMax CMP-3N and CMP-3QD uprights, the Tornado CK 14/1 (model 97182), and the Carpet Pro CPU-1, CPU-2, and N2000. The same Tacony-built retainer is used across all of these machines.
