$86.32
Genuine Tornado 16/3 40′ RAL 1018 power cord (part# K28894170) — item #327 on the Tornado CVD 38 (Model 91438) schematic; used across Tornado CVD upright vacuums. Available from Twin City Vacuum, Crystal, MN. Call 763-535-0770.
The Power Cord (part# K28894170) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part for the Tornado CVD upright vacuum line — a 16-gauge, three-conductor (16/3) cord, 40 feet long, molded in RAL 1018 safety yellow. It is the factory power supply used across the full range of CVD uprights, carrying line voltage from the wall plug through the strain relief to the machine’s switch and motor. One cord covers four Tornado CVD models, from the 12-inch CVD 30 up to the 19-inch CVD 48/2.
Compatible Models for the Power Cord (part# K28894170)

- Tornado CVD 38 15-inch Upright Vacuum — Model 91438
- Tornado CVD 38/2 15-inch HEPA Filter Upright Vacuum — Model 91440
- Tornado CVD 48/2 19-inch HEPA Filter Upright Vacuum — Model 91442
Because every CVD upright is built on the same electrical platform, this one 40-foot 16/3 cord serves all four machines identically. The heavy 16-gauge copper and 40-foot reach are chosen for commercial floor coverage without an added extension, and the RAL 1018 yellow jacket keeps the cord visible on the floor as a trip-safety measure. The cord seats into the switch housing and is held by an internal strain relief that takes the mechanical load off the electrical connections.
Replace the power cord when you see cracked, melted, or abraded insulation, any exposed conductor, a section that has been run over or crushed, a bent or loose plug, or intermittent power that comes and goes as you flex the cord near the plug or the strain relief. A cord that trips a building GFCI or shows scorching at the plug should be replaced immediately rather than repaired. Because it is a genuine Tacony OEM cord, the gauge, length, and molded plug match the original exactly, so the machine’s amp draw and switch fit are unchanged.
Replacing the cord is a moderate job: the handle or switch cover is opened, the old cord is released from the strain relief and disconnected at the switch, and the new cord is seated the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the power cord (part# K28894170) do on the Tornado CVD uprights?
It is the machine’s line-voltage supply cord — a 40-foot 16/3 cable in RAL 1018 yellow that runs from the wall plug through the strain relief to the on/off switch and motor. The same cord powers the CVD 30, CVD 38, CVD 38/2, and CVD 48/2.
How do I know if my power cord (part# K28894170) needs replacing?
Look for cracked or melted insulation, exposed wire, a crushed or cut section, a damaged plug, or power that flickers when you flex the cord near the plug or strain relief. Any scorching, or a cord that trips a GFCI, means replace it now.
What models is the power cord (part# K28894170) compatible with?
It fits four Tornado CVD upright models: the CVD 30 12-inch (Model 91430), CVD 38 15-inch (Model 91438), CVD 38/2 15-inch HEPA (Model 91440), and CVD 48/2 19-inch HEPA (Model 91442).
