Brush Roll, Red Hard Bristle K69066420

The Brush Roll, Red Hard Bristle (part# K69066420) is the genuine Tacony OEM roller-bar agitator built with the firmer red bristle set, sized for the 12-inch brush head on Tornado and CleanMax single-motor commercial uprights. It fits three machines across two Tacony brands — the Tornado CVD 30 and CV 30 and the CleanMax CMP-5T Champ. Spinning inside the nozzle, its stiff red bristles drive deeper into dense pile and pull out ground-in soil that a softer roller skims over, which is why it is the choice for heavy commercial traffic and coarser carpet.

Compatible Models for the Brush Roll

• Tornado CVD 30 12″ Single-Motor Upright — Model 91430
• Tornado CV 30 12″ Single-Motor Upright — Model 91449
• CleanMax CMP-5T Champ

The hard red bristle outlasts the soft set, but it still wears: watch for bristle tips that have gone rounded, split, or uneven in height, a build-up of string and hair choking the bearing ends, or weaker pickup even though suction at the hose stays strong. If the roller free-spins while the belt turns, or you hear a rhythmic knock as it rotates, the bar has worn or bent and the roller should come out.

Replacement is the same brush-head service on these uprights — release the nozzle cover, lift the worn roller from its bearing seats, and set the new one in with the belt held on the drive end. For finer or low-pile carpet where the hard bristle is more aggressive than you need, the identical brush head also takes the Black Soft Bristle Brush Roll (K69066410) as the gentler standard-duty option.

Since 1956, Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Tacony floor-care equipment, and every roller we ship is genuine Tacony, matched to the brush head for correct length and balance. Browse related parts on our Tornado CVD 30 parts and CleanMax CMP-5T parts pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is different about the red hard bristle brush roll?

The Brush Roll (part# K69066420) uses a stiffer red bristle than the standard black soft roller. The firmer bristle agitates dense, high-traffic commercial carpet more aggressively and digs out ground-in grit, where the soft version is tuned for finer and low-pile floors. Both share the same bar and drop into the same brush head.

How long does the K69066420 brush roll last before it needs replacing?

There is no fixed interval — it depends on hours run and how abrasive the floors are — but replace it once the red bristles are rounded, split, or uneven in height, when hair and string pack the end caps, or when carpet pickup drops even with strong suction at the hose. A knocking or free-spinning roller means the bar itself has worn and should be changed.

What models is the Brush Roll, Red Hard Bristle (part# K69066420) compatible with?

It fits the Tornado CVD 30 12″ (Model 91430) and Tornado CV 30 12″ (Model 91449) single-motor uprights and the CleanMax CMP-5T Champ — the same three machines the soft-bristle roller fits.
