Pleated HEPA Post Filter B222-0700

The Pleated HEPA Post Filter (part# B222-0700) is a genuine Tacony OEM exhaust filter that gives the air leaving the vacuum a final HEPA-grade cleaning. The pleated media captures the fine particles that pass the bag, so what the machine exhausts back into the room stays clean.

Compatible Models for the Pleated HEPA Post Filter B222-0700

This is a genuine Tacony OEM filter shared across multiple brands and models:

• Powr-Flite: Powr-Flite Rigel Pro Upright — PV100-W14-U, Powr-Flite Rigel Deluxe Upright — PV130-W14-U
• Riccar: premium/tandem-air upright vacuums that use the B222-0700 post filter — call to confirm your model

The post filter is the last stage of filtration before air exits the vacuum, so a clogged or aged filter cuts airflow and lets fine dust escape. Replace it when it looks gray or loaded, when exhaust airflow weakens, or on the maintenance interval in your machine’s manual — typically once or twice a year in commercial use. Always pair a fresh post filter with a fresh bag and secondary filter for full filtration.

Because this is a sealed HEPA-grade pleated filter, it is not designed to be washed — replace it rather than rinsing it, which damages the media. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced Powr-Flite and Riccar equipment since 1956. Manufacturer detail: powr-flite.com.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the B222-0700 pleated HEPA post filter do?

It is the final exhaust-stage HEPA filter, capturing fine particles that pass the vacuum bag so the air the machine exhausts stays clean. It fits the Powr-Flite Rigel Pro and Rigel Deluxe uprights and Riccar premium uprights.

How do I know when my post filter needs replacing?

Replace it when it looks gray or loaded, when exhaust airflow weakens, or on the schedule in your manual — usually once or twice a year in commercial use. A clogged post filter cuts airflow and lets fine dust escape past the exhaust.

Can I wash the B222-0700 post filter?

No. The B222-0700 is a sealed pleated HEPA-grade filter and should be replaced, not washed — rinsing damages the media and defeats the filtration. The washable filter in these machines is the separate foam secondary filter (B222-0500).
