Tornado Strike Hose Complete, Bottom Housing K44410983

The Hose, complete (part# K44410983) is the flexible duct that carries everything the Tornado Strike picks up from the brush head into the body of the machine. It is supplied as a complete item with its sleeve, so the cuffs that always fail first come with it rather than having to be salvaged.

Compatible Models for the Hose Complete, Bottom Housing

• Tornado Strike Cordless Upright Vacuum — Model TV190-W10-U

This is a Strike-only component: Tacony’s parts records list the Tornado Strike TV190-W10-U as the single machine that takes part# K44410983, so there is no cross-model substitution to worry about when you order it.

What the Hose Complete, Bottom Housing does

This hose has to stay sealed while flexing every time the machine is reclined and stood up again, which is thousands of cycles a year in commercial use. Every pinhole in it is suction that never reaches the carpet. Because it sits between the head and the bag, it is also the first place a blockage lands when something large goes up the airway — which is why it is worth checking here before stripping anything else on a machine that has lost pick-up.

Signs the Hose Complete, Bottom Housing needs replacing

Replace it when you can see splits, cracks or pinholes, when a cuff has gone loose or torn so the hose no longer seals at either end, or when the hose has gone permanently kinked and will not straighten. Suction that improves when you squeeze a section of hose by hand is a leak in that section. Persistent loss of pick-up with a clear brushroll, a fresh bag and a clean HEPA cartridge points here.

Fitting the Hose Complete, Bottom Housing

Release the hose at the bottom housing and at its upper connection, noting how it routes and which way round the sleeve sits. Clear any debris from both spigots before fitting. Seat the new hose fully onto each spigot — a cuff that is only half on will pull off in service — and work the machine through its full recline once by hand to confirm the hose flexes without kinking or pulling at either end.
