Wire Reinforced Hose 1/2″ 70079C
$1.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 1/2 inch wire reinforced hose (part# 70079C) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S. Built with an embedded helix so it will not collapse where the line sees suction.
The Wire Reinforced Hose 1/2″ (part# 70079C) 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 reinforced flexible hose used where the line must resist collapse as well as contain flow.
What the Wire Reinforced Hose 1/2″ does
The wire helix inside the wall is what separates this from ordinary tubing. It holds the bore open when the line is under suction or bent around a tight corner, so flow stays constant instead of pinching off at whichever bend is sharpest. That is why substituting plain hose of the same diameter tends to work on the bench and fail on the machine.
When to replace the Wire Reinforced Hose 1/2″ (70079C)
Replace it when the wall has gone hard and cracked, when a section has kinked and stayed kinked, or when the ends have stretched so clamps no longer bite. Any hose showing exposed or rusted helix wire should come out immediately.
Wire Reinforced Hose 70079C — fitment and installation notes
Cut it square with a sharp blade so the end seats fully on the barb, and cut through the helix cleanly rather than crushing it. Route it with generous radii and clear of heat and moving parts, and always clamp it, since a reinforced hose relies on the clamp to compress a wall that is stiffer than plain tubing. 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.
