Screw A352-8200

The Screw (part# A352-8200) is a genuine Tacony OEM fastener used across nine backpack vacuum models in the Tornado and Powr-Flite ranges. It is one of the fasteners in the main assembly, and it is the sort of part that only becomes interesting when one is stripped, cross-threaded or missing and the machine will not close up properly.

When to replace it: the head is chewed and a driver no longer bites; the thread is stripped or cross-threaded so it spins without pulling down; the screw is bent; or it has simply been lost during a strip-down. A fastener that no longer clamps is not a cosmetic problem on a backpack machine — it lets a panel or a bracket move under load, and the part it was holding wears or cracks next.

Because the same screw is used on machines across two brands, it is worth keeping a few on the shelf rather than ordering one at a time. If you are replacing several at once, it is also a good moment to check the threads in the mating part: a screw that has stripped once usually stripped the boss with it.

Twin City Vacuum has been selling and servicing Tacony equipment since 1956. The full parts breakdown for these machines, with the schematic and every part on it, is on our Tornado Pac-Vac Aircomfort parts page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Screw do on a backpack vacuum?

It is one of the fasteners in the main assembly, clamping the parts it passes through so they cannot move under the vibration and load of the motor and the weight of the machine on the harness.

How do I know if my Screw needs replacing?

Replace it when the head is chewed and a driver will not bite, when the thread is stripped or cross-threaded so it turns without tightening, when it is bent, or when it has been lost during a strip-down.
