Neoprene Washer 72274A
$3.99
Genuine Tacony OEM neoprene washer (part# 72274A) used at sealed fastener points on the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. Compresses to seal a hole a rigid washer would only cover.
The Neoprene Washer (part# 72274A) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the recovery and solution tank assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the resilient neoprene sealing washer used where a fastener has to close a hole as well as hold it.
What the Neoprene Washer does
Neoprene is chosen here because it stays flexible in the presence of water and cleaning chemistry and springs back rather than taking a set on the first tightening. That springback is what keeps a joint sealed through the vibration and thermal cycling of a working shift, where a hard washer would slowly relax and start weeping.
When to replace the Neoprene Washer (72274A)
Replace it when it has gone hard, flattened, cracked at the bore, or swollen out of shape. A washer that stays compressed after being removed has lost the resilience that was doing the sealing.
Neoprene Washer 72274A — fitment and installation notes
Tighten only until the washer is visibly compressed and stop; squeezing it flat extrudes the material and destroys the seal you were trying to make. Fit it on the side of the joint the original came from, and check the mating face for burrs that would cut into the new washer. Tacony builds the Tornado Marathon SE 900 and the Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S on a single machine platform, so this component carries across both brands rather than belonging to either one. It is a shared Tacony component and may fit additional models beyond those listed — call us and we will confirm against your serial number.
