Tornado Tempest Washer (4 Fitted) K73122780

This is one of several plain washers Tacony uses on the Tornado Tempest. The parts book describes it only as Washer, there is no dealer record for the number and no published dimension, so rather than invent a size or a location we have identified it by the quantity fitted: four of this washer are used in the filter and blower assembly.

What the Washer (4 Fitted) Does

A washer spreads the clamping load of a fastener across a wider area and protects the surface underneath from being marked as the fastener is tightened. That is all it does, and it is why the right size matters — a washer too small concentrates the load it was fitted to spread.

Where It Sits on the Machine

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

Compatible Models for the Washer (4 Fitted)

When to Replace It

Replace any washer that has dished, scored or corroded. They cost very little and there is no reason to reuse a damaged one when the assembly is already apart.

Fitting Notes

Because the Tempest uses several different washers that all read as Washer in the parts book, keep the hardware grouped by diagram position as you strip the assembly rather than putting it all in one tray. If you have already mixed them, call us with the part numbers and we will confirm what goes where.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is there no price shown for this part?

Tacony does not currently publish a price for part number K73122780 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.

Why is the title written as four fitted?

Because Tacony publishes no dimension for this washer and no dealer description that gives it a location, and the Tempest uses several plain washers that are all described simply as Washer. The fitted quantity is a fact from Tacony’s own parts breakdown, so we have used that to tell them apart rather than inventing a size. The part number is what to order by.
