Tornado Strike Top Housing with Hose Clip K47756200

The Top Housing (part# K47756200) is the upper body moulding on the Tornado Strike, supplied with its hose clip already fitted. It is the piece that gives the suction hose a defined path and holds it there when the machine is being carried, reclined or stowed.

What the Top Housing with Hose Clip does

Hose management sounds trivial until it fails. An unretained hose on an upright drags against the operator’s legs, catches on door frames, and pulls at its cuffs until one of them lets go — and a cuff failure is a suction failure. The clip on this housing is what keeps the hose in its intended arc so the flexing happens where the hose is designed to flex, not at the connections.

Signs the Top Housing with Hose Clip needs replacing

Replace it when the clip has broken off or lost its grip so the hose no longer stays put, when the housing is cracked, or when a mounting point has failed and the moulding no longer sits tight to the body. A hose that has started falling out of its route on a machine where it used to stay is the clip, even when nothing looks obviously broken.

Fitting the Top Housing with Hose Clip

Release the housing from the body, noting the hose route through it before anything is disturbed. Because the clip comes fitted, nothing needs transferring. Seat the replacement, refit its fixings evenly, then lay the hose back into its clip and work the machine through a full recline to confirm the hose stays captive and is not stretched at any point in the travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Top Housing do on the Tornado Strike?

It is the upper body moulding, and its integral clip routes and retains the suction hose so the hose flexes where it is designed to rather than pulling at its cuffs.

How do I know if my Top Housing needs replacing?

A broken clip or one that has lost its grip so the hose will not stay in its route, a cracked housing, or a failed mounting point that leaves the moulding loose against the body.

What models is the Top Housing with Hose Clip (part# K47756200) compatible with?

The Tornado Strike TV190-W10-U cordless upright vacuum, and only that machine. Tacony’s parts records list no other model that takes part# K47756200.
