HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge 90144

The HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge (part# 90144) is a genuine Tacony OEM replacement part used as the final exhaust-filtration stage on several single-motor commercial upright vacuums built by Tacony. It is not exclusive to one machine — the same cartridge is fitted across the Tornado CK 14/1 family and the Powr-Flite Borelli Dual Pro, so one part number covers a range of models.

Compatible Models for the HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge

• Tornado CK 14/1 BSE — Model 98145
• Tornado CK 14/1 Pro — Model 98147
• Tornado CK 14/2 Pro — Model 98152
• Tornado CK 14/1 QD — Model 98174
• Powr-Flite Borelli Dual Pro — PV160-W14-U

The 90144 is a pleated HEPA cartridge that seats in the exhaust housing after the collection bag and the motor intake filter. Because it captures the finest particles — respirable dust, pollen and the carbon fines shed by the motor — it protects both the air quality in the room and the motor itself. The media is sealed into a rigid frame so it holds its shape as it loads; there is no foam pre-filter built into this cartridge.

Symptoms that point to the 90144: reduced exhaust airflow, a fine grey coating visible on the pleats, or a stale smell when the machine runs. It is a wear item, not washable, and installs tool-free — open the exhaust filter door, lift out the spent cartridge and drop the new one into the same slot so the pleats face the airflow.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tornado and Tacony commercial equipment since 1956. Need the rest of the filtration set or another assembly? Browse the Tornado CK 14/1 Pro parts page, or see the manufacturer at tornadovac.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge (part# 90144) do?

The 90144 HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge is the final stage of filtration on these single-motor commercial uprights — air that has already passed the bag and the motor intake filter flows through the pleated HEPA media before it leaves the machine, trapping fine dust, allergens and motor-carbon particles so they are not blown back into the room.

How do I know if my HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge (part# 90144) needs replacing?

Replace the 90144 cartridge when exhaust airflow feels weak, when you notice a dusty or musty smell from the exhaust, or when the pleated media looks grey and loaded. On a machine in daily commercial use the HEPA cartridge is typically changed a few times a year; it is not washable, so a clogged cartridge is replaced rather than cleaned.

What models is the HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge (part# 90144) compatible with?

The HEPA Exhaust Filter Cartridge (part# 90144) is a genuine Tacony OEM part shared across five commercial uprights: the Tornado CK 14/1 BSE (Model 98145), CK 14/1 Pro (Model 98147), CK 14/2 Pro (Model 98152) and CK 14/1 QD (Model 98174), plus the Powr-Flite Borelli Dual Pro (PV160-W14-U). One cartridge covers all of them — confirm the model on the label on the back or bottom of your machine.
