The Tether Lanyard (part# X2330) is the genuine OEM retaining lanyard used across the Marathon / PFX900S extractor family. Also known as the Tether, 18-8 SS Lanyard, Loop-to-Eye, 12In Long, 1/16In Rope Dia, PVC Coated — a 12-inch stainless rope with a formed loop at each end, jacketed in PVC so it will not scratch a tank or housing as it swings.
Its job is to keep a small removable part captive. A drain cap, fill plug or lid that is tethered cannot be set down on a job site and forgotten, which is the usual way these parts go missing. The 18-8 stainless construction is there because this is a wet-side component — it lives around solution and recovery tanks and has to shrug off water and cleaning chemistry without rusting through.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Tether Lanyard (part# X2330) do?
It is the genuine OEM 18-8 stainless steel lanyard that tethers a cap, plug or lid to the machine so the part cannot be dropped, lost or left behind during a tank change. It is 12 in long, built from 1/16 in PVC-coated stainless rope, and terminates loop-to-eye at both ends.
How do I know if my Tether Lanyard needs replacing?
Replace the lanyard when the PVC coating is split or peeling, when the rope has kinked or frayed near either loop, when a swaged end has pulled loose, or when the part it secures no longer stays captive. A failed tether usually shows up as a missing cap or plug rather than as a visibly broken cable.
Is this the same as the 12 in Chain (X9068)?
No. X2330 is a PVC-coated stainless lanyard and X9068 is a 12 in chain — they are separate part numbers with different fitment. Order by the part number for your machine, and call us if you are unsure which your machine uses.
