{"product_id":"riccar-simplicity-dc-platform-pivot-felt-seal","title":"Riccar \/ Simplicity DC Platform Pivot Felt Seal","description":"\u003cp\u003eB220-4500 is the felt seal that sits at the handle pivot on DC platform uprights. Felt is used at this joint because it stays compressed against a surface that rotates every time the handle is reclined, closing the gap without the drag a rubber gasket would add.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pivot that leaks air is quietly expensive: suction that should be pulling at the nozzle is drawn in at the joint instead. Compressed, greasy or missing felt is a common find on high-hour machines and is usually replaced alongside the pivot bushing at the same location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e felt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e handle pivot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther DC service parts in this range are listed for the Maytag M500 and the Riccar R10 and Simplicity S10 uprights, so check your model against that platform before ordering.
