Oreck Round Handle Tube - X...
$18.99
Product details
The handle tube on an Oreck upright carries every push and pull from the grip down into the body, and part 430000897 is the round tube built for the XL3600 and U3700 platform. It uses a screw-type collar at the base rather than the push-fit sleeve Oreck also ran on this frame, so before ordering it is worth checking how your current tube attaches, since the two styles are not interchangeable.
Tubes wear at that lower fitting first, because that is where the leverage of steering and lifting the machine concentrates. Early wear shows up as a faint wobble you can feel through the grip rather than see. Left in place, the play grows, the machine starts to drift instead of tracking straight ahead, and in the worst cases the tube separates from the body under load, usually mid-stroke.
This tube is confirmed for the Oreck U3140HH, U3640RH, U3700HH, U3710HH, U3720HG, U3720HR, U3760HH and U3761HH, the U3980H2B and U3990H2B, and the XL2100RHS, XL3600HH, XL3600RH, XL3610HH, XL3640HH, XL3800H2B, XL3900H2B and XL3910H2B. That span covers several production years, so trim color and grip shape vary even where the tube itself is unchanged; match by the screw-type fitting first and the model number second.
