Tornado Tempest Brushroll Guide Gasket K50322060

The Tornado Tempest brushroll guide gasket (part# K50322060) seals along the brushroll guide on the TV400-W26-U cordless sweeper. Tacony lists it as Guide gasket, Brushroll. The Tempest uses eight parts catalogued as Seal; this is the one Tacony names for the brushroll guide.

The guide is the surface that channels what the brush throws backward toward the hopper, and the gasket is what stops that flow escaping along the way. Unlike the end gaskets, which seal a static joint, this one works along the length of the moving air path — so it sees more debris passing over it and tends to wear by abrasion rather than by compression set.

Compatible Models for the Brushroll Guide Gasket

• Tornado Tempest Wide-Area Cordless Carpet Vacuum Sweeper — Model TV400-W26-U

Symptoms that point to the guide gasket

• Debris escaping from the brush chamber rather than reaching the hopper.
• Reduced pickup with sound end gaskets and a good brush.
• The gasket is abraded, torn or has worn thin along its length.
• It has come away from its channel at any point.
• Any time the brushroll assembly has been dismantled.

Fitting notes

Remove the battery pack before starting. Clean the channel and the guide surface before fitting. Work the gasket in along its full length without stretching it, and check it sits proud enough to seal against the guide without fouling the brushroll — a gasket standing too far into the path will be abraded away within weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the guide gasket do on the Tornado Tempest?

It seals along the brushroll guide, the surface that channels what the brush throws backward toward the hopper, so that flow is not lost on the way.

How do I know if it needs replacing?

If debris is escaping from the brush chamber rather than reaching the hopper, if pickup has fallen with sound end gaskets and a good brush, or if the gasket is abraded, torn or thin.

What models is the guide gasket (part# K50322060) compatible with?

The Tornado Tempest TV400-W26-U wide-area cordless carpet sweeper. PartSmart lists it against the Tempest alone.

How is this different from the end gaskets?

The end gaskets seal a static joint where the roller passes through the plates. This one works along the moving air path, so it wears by abrasion from passing debris rather than by compression set.
