Tornado Tempest Washer (2 Fitted) K73120780

This is another of the plain washers Tacony uses on the Tornado Tempest filter and blower assembly. The parts book describes it only as Washer, there is no dealer record and no published dimension, so we have identified it by the quantity fitted: two of this washer are used on this assembly.

What the Washer (2 Fitted) Does

Its job is the ordinary one — spreading a fastener’s clamping load and protecting the surface under the head or nut. It is listed as a distinct part number from the other Tempest washers, which means the size differs even though the parts book gives all of them the same description.

Where It Sits on the Machine

Two are fitted in the filter and blower assembly on the Tempest filter and blower diagram.

Compatible Models for the Washer (2 Fitted)

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

When to Replace It

Replace a washer that is dished, scored or corroded. It is a low-cost part and worth renewing while the assembly is open rather than reusing something that has already been deformed once.

Fitting Notes

Keep the hardware grouped by diagram position when you strip the assembly. The Tempest has several plain washers that look similar and are not interchangeable, and sorting them afterwards from a single tray is a job nobody enjoys.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no price shown for this part?

Tacony does not currently publish a price for part number K73120780 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.

How is this different from the other Tempest washers?

Tacony gives it a distinct part number, which means it is a distinct size, but publishes no dimension and no location for it. The Tempest also uses washers listed as four fitted, sixteen fitted and others named for their position. We have used the fitted quantity here because it is the only factual distinguisher available. Order by part number.
