Tornado Strike Suction Hose Complete, Top Housing K44402013

The Suction Hose, complete (part# K44402013) is the upper hose on the Tornado Strike — the one that runs through the top housing and doubles as the flexible hose an operator pulls off to use the wand and tools. It is supplied complete with its cuffs.

Compatible Models for the Suction Hose Complete, Top 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# K44402013, so there is no cross-model substitution to worry about when you order it.

What the Suction Hose Complete, Top Housing does

This hose does two jobs that pull in opposite directions. In normal use it is a sealed duct that has to hold full suction; in tool use it is handled, stretched around furniture and dropped. That combination is why it wears faster than the lower hose and why the cuffs are the usual failure point rather than the hose wall. A leak here costs suction at the floor even when the machine is not being used with tools.

Signs the Suction Hose Complete, Top Housing needs replacing

Replace it when a cuff has split, gone loose or pulled away so the hose will not seal at either end; when the hose wall is cracked, pinholed or torn; when it has been crushed into a permanent kink; or when suction improves noticeably if you squeeze a section by hand. A Strike that cleans poorly on the floor but seems fine on the wand — or the reverse — is worth checking here before anything else comes apart.

Fitting the Suction Hose Complete, Top Housing

Release the hose at the top housing and at the tool end, noting how it routes through the housing before it comes out. Clear both spigots of debris. Push each cuff fully home — a partly seated cuff works loose in service and mimics a new leak — and run the machine briefly with the tools fitted and then on the floor to confirm suction is right in both modes.
