Used across Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax machines, the Hole Plug (part# A018-1414) is a genuine Tacony OEM part. As a genuine Tacony component, the A018-1414 is shared across Tornado, Riccar, Simplicity and CleanMax models — see the full Compatible Models list below.
On the Tornado Roam / 97300 / 97300C, a hole plug caps an opening in the body or housing — a mounting hole, access port, or molding hole not used in this configuration. Seated in place, it keeps the housing airtight and finished so airflow is not lost through an open hole and dust and debris cannot enter the cavity behind it, giving the machine a clean, complete exterior.
Replace the hole plug if it is missing, cracked, or no longer seating tightly, or if you notice reduced suction, whistling air, or dust collecting where an open hole has been left exposed. A missing plug is easy to overlook but can bleed airflow and let grit into the housing. It is an inexpensive part that restores a proper seal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hole plug used for?
The hole plug (part# A018-1414) is a small molded plug that closes an unused opening or access hole in the housing, keeping dust and air from leaking in and giving the surface a finished look. Small as it is, it maintains the housing’s seal.
Should I replace a missing hole plug?
Yes — a missing plug leaves an opening that lets dust in and can create a minor air leak, so refitting an A018-1414 restores the housing’s seal and appearance. It presses into place without tools.
Is the hole plug sold individually?
Yes, it is available on its own, so a lost or cracked plug is a trivial, low-cost replacement. Keeping a spare is handy since these are easy to misplace during a teardown.
Which vacuums use the hole plug (part# A018-1414)?
It fits the Tornado Roam 97300 and 97300C and is shared across Tacony uprights that use the same plug — see the Compatible Models list above.
