Washer 14142

The Washer (part# 14142) is a genuine OEM plain flat washer with a.265 in inside diameter, zinc plated, used on the Tornado CK 3030 wide-area vacuum (Model 93030) in Series G, H and J, and on the. Fits Tornado 93030, Tornado 93031, CleanMax CM-WAV and Powr-Flite PF2030. It also fits the Tornado 98168 20″ Marathon 1200 carpet extractor (12 Gallon 115V), Series B, C, D, E and F. It is also used on the Tornado 98166 20″ Marathon 800 carpet extractor (8 Gallon, 115V). It also fits the Tornado 98167 20″ Marathon 800 carpet extractor (8 Gallon, 230V).

The.265 in bore is a clearance fit over 1/4 in fasteners — slightly oversize so the washer drops on without being driven, which matters on an assembly line and matters again when you are working one-handed inside a machine. It is the washer paired with the 1/4-20 hardware in the later-series chassis, spreading the head or nut load across sheet metal and mouldings that would otherwise be dented by a bare fastener face.

Replace any washer that has dished, that shows a torn or burred bore from a fastener spinning against it, or that has corroded through its plating. Do not substitute a washer with a smaller bore in the hope of a tighter fit — if it will not drop over the fastener freely it will sit cocked, and a cocked washer transmits load through one edge instead of its whole face.
