Clear Light Pipe A018-1500

The Clear Light Pipe (part# A018-1500) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part that carries the headlight beam to the front of the CleanMax ZM-700 corded commercial upright vacuum. It is item #43 in the nozzle assembly, a molded clear-plastic guide that sits between the LED on the PC board and the nozzle housing.

The ZM-700’s headlight helps an operator see debris and edges in low-light commercial spaces. The light pipe is what makes that headlight useful: it collects the LED’s output and channels it cleanly to the front of the nozzle so the beam lands on the floor rather than scattering inside the housing. Over time the clear plastic can cloud, yellow, crack, or work loose, and any of those dulls or misaims the headlight even when the LED itself is fine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Clear Light Pipe (part# A018-1500) do on the CleanMax ZM-700?

The Clear Light Pipe channels light from the ZM-700 headlight LED on the PC board out to the front of the nozzle, so the beam reaches the floor ahead of the machine. It is a molded clear-plastic guide (item #43 in the nozzle assembly) that keeps the headlight bright and correctly aimed.

How do I know if my ZM-700 Light Pipe needs replacing?

Replace the Clear Light Pipe (part# A018-1500) if the headlight looks dim, unfocused, or dark even though the LED is working, or if the pipe is cracked, clouded, yellowed, or has fallen out of its seat. A damaged or missing light pipe scatters the LED and dulls the headlight.
