Brass Fitting 90° 1/4″ Barb x 1/8″ MPT 7AT006
$7.99
Genuine Tacony OEM 90 degree brass fitting, 1/4 inch barb to 1/8 inch male pipe thread (part# 7AT006), for the Tornado Marathon SE 900 (Model 98170) and Powr-Flite Prowler PFX900S plumbing.
The Brass Fitting 90° 1/4″ Barb x 1/8″ MPT (part# 7AT006) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part from the chassis assembly of the Tornado Marathon SE 900 self-contained carpet extractor. It is the brass elbow that takes a 1/4 inch hose onto a 1/8 inch male pipe port through a 90 degree turn.
What the Brass Fitting 90° 1/4″ Barb x 1/8″ MPT does
Turning the hose in the fitting rather than in the hose is what protects a small-bore line. A 1/4 inch hose bent hard immediately off a straight fitting will pinch, and on a 1/8 inch port there is very little flow to spare in the first place. Making the turn in brass gives the hose a straight run away from the component and keeps the bore fully open through the corner.
When to replace the Brass Fitting 90° 1/4″ Barb x 1/8″ MPT (7AT006)
Replace it when the barb is worn or grooved, when the pipe thread is damaged or has been chased flat, or when the body has cracked at the elbow. If a hose repeatedly works loose here, inspect the barb condition before buying more clamps.
Brass Fitting Barb 7AT006 — fitment and installation notes
Aim the elbow before final tightening so the hose leaves in the direction it actually needs to run, with no twist in it. Seal the small thread carefully and keep the tape back from the first thread, since debris that gets past on a 1/8 inch port has a very short trip to a blockage. 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.
