Grommet X9502
$2.99
Genuine Tacony OEM grommet (part# X9502) for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S chassis. Sized to its own hole, so match it to the position it came from.
The Grommet (part# X9502) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the flexible grommet that lines a chassis pass-through and cushions what runs through it.
What the Grommet does
Grommets come in a size for the panel hole and a size for the item passing through, and both have to be right. Too small a groove and it will not stay in the panel; too large a bore and the wire or hose still rattles against something. A machine carries several grommet sizes, so the part number is doing real work here even though every grommet in the drawer looks much the same.
When to replace the Grommet (X9502)
Replace it when it is split, torn, hardened, or has worked out of its hole, and any time a line passing through it shows a chafed band. Grommets that have gone brittle often look intact until the panel is flexed and they crack.
Grommet X9502 — fitment and installation notes
Fit it to the panel before feeding anything through, and check it is seated in its groove all the way round rather than half-in on one side. Where a line has to pass through a grommet already installed, protect the leading end so it does not tear the bore on its way past. 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.
