Tornado Strike Suction Hose Inlet K47754990

The Suction Hose Inlet (part# K47754990) is the moulded spigot the Tornado Strike’s suction hose seats onto. It is one of the cheapest parts on the machine and one of the easiest to overlook when chasing lost suction.

Compatible Models for the Suction Hose Inlet

This is a Strike-only component: Tacony’s parts records list the Tornado Strike TV190-W10-U as the single machine that takes part# K47754990, so there is no cross-model substitution to worry about when you order it.

What the Suction Hose Inlet does

Every cuff needs something round, smooth and the right diameter to grip. That is all this part is — but if its surface has been scored, or its lip has broken, the cuff no longer makes a seal and air is drawn in at the joint instead of through the carpet. Because the hose is pulled off and pushed back on whenever the tools are used, this spigot sees far more handling than most of the machine.

Signs the Suction Hose Inlet needs replacing

Replace it when the hose will not stay on, when the spigot is cracked or has lost part of its retaining lip, when its surface is scored or distorted, or when you can hear air being drawn at the joint with the machine running. A hose that seals only if held is the clearest sign.

Fitting the Suction Hose Inlet

Pull the hose off and release the inlet from the housing. Clean the seat thoroughly before fitting the replacement — grit trapped under the flange holds it proud and reproduces the leak you are trying to cure. Seat it square, refit its fixing, then push the hose fully home and check by hand that it resists a firm pull.
