Wide Area Vacuum Exhaust Filter X3819

The Exhaust Filter (part# X3819) is the final-stage, pleated exhaust filter that the air passes through on its way out of the 30-inch wide area vacuum. Framed in a black gasketed border with a white pleated media panel, it is the last filter in the machine’s multi-stage system — it captures the finest particles that made it past the bag and the intake filter, so the air leaving the vacuum is cleaner than the air it took in. This is the part that makes a wide area vacuum safe to run in an occupied lobby, hotel floor, or school hallway without kicking dust back into the room.

Replace the X3819 when the pleated media is gray and loaded, when you notice a dusty smell or fine dust settling near the exhaust, or on your regular maintenance interval — a loaded exhaust filter both hurts air quality and adds back-pressure that makes the motors work harder. Because it is the final filter, a torn or missing exhaust filter defeats the whole filtration system, so it should never be run without one. The filter seats in its housing with the gasket facing out and the “this side out” marking visible; it lifts out and installs by hand.

Part X3819 supersedes the older part number 19855 — if your machine or manual references 19855, X3819 is the current replacement. This is a genuine Tacony part shared across brands: the Exhaust Filter X3819 fits the Powr-Flite PF2030 30-inch wide area vacuum, the CleanMax CM-WAV wide area vacuum, and the Tornado 93030 Clean-Air Carpetkeeper (30-inch) and 93031 (230V). Order by the part number X3819 to be sure of the fit. See our Powr-Flite commercial floor equipment pages for the matching machines, bags, and intake filter, or call our parts desk for help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Exhaust Filter (part# X3819) do on the wide area vacuum?

The X3819 is the final-stage pleated exhaust filter that air passes through on its way out of the 30-inch wide area vacuum. It captures the finest particles that got past the bag and intake filter, so the air leaving the machine is cleaner than the air it took in — which is what makes the vacuum safe to run in occupied spaces.

How do I know if my X3819 exhaust filter needs replacing?

Replace it when the pleated media is gray and loaded, when you notice a dusty smell or fine dust near the exhaust, or on your maintenance schedule. A loaded exhaust filter hurts air quality and adds back-pressure, and because it is the final filter the machine should never be run with it torn or missing.

Does X3819 replace the older 19855 filter, and what models does it fit?

Yes — part X3819 supersedes the older 19855, so X3819 is the current replacement. It fits the Powr-Flite PF2030, CleanMax CM-WAV, and Tornado 93030 and 93031. It is a shared Tacony part, so order by part number X3819 to confirm fit.
