Tornado Tempest Filter and Blower Bolt K53160280

This is the bolt used in the Tornado Tempest filter and blower assembly. The parts book describes it only as Bolt and there is no dealer record or published dimension for the number, so we have named it for the assembly it appears in rather than inventing a size.

What the Filter and Blower Bolt Does

One is fitted. A single bolt in an assembly is normally carrying a specific load or setting a specific position rather than sharing duty with others, which makes putting the correct one back more important than it looks. Substituting on length or grade changes what the joint does.

Where It Sits on the Machine

It is fitted in the filter and blower assembly on the Tempest filter and blower diagram, near the filter shaker linkage.

Compatible Models for the Filter and Blower Bolt

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

When to Replace It

Replace the bolt if the head is damaged, the thread is stretched, or it has been bent. Anything that has been running loose is worth replacing rather than re-tightening, because a fastener that has worked in its hole will have worn on the shank.

Fitting Notes

Do not substitute on size or grade. Tacony publishes no dimension for this one, so if you no longer have the original, call us with the part number rather than measuring something similar — we would rather supply the right bolt than have you guess.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no price shown for this part?

Tacony does not currently publish a price for part number K53160280 in the dealer system we buy from, and we will not invent a number. Call Twin City Vacuum at 763-535-0770 with the part number and we will quote it, confirm availability and check it against your machine before anything ships.

Is this the same as the height adjustment plate bolt?

No. The height adjustment plate bolt is K53160240, an M8 x 42, and belongs to the brushroll height mechanism. K53160280 is a separate part number in the filter and blower assembly. The numbers are close enough to mistype, so check carefully when ordering.
