Product details
This is the valve switch cover for Riccar MV series machines, cataloged under reference GA800 and stocked as part B480-1814. Rather than being the switch or valve mechanism itself, it is the molded cap fitted over the switch so the actuator can still move freely while dust, lint and stray fingers stay off the mechanism underneath.
Age, plus the repeated heating and cooling that a running vacuum body goes through, is what makes plastic covers like this one turn brittle well before the switch itself wears out. A missing or cracked cover leaves the switch exposed directly to debris, and that exposure is typically what shortens the life of the pricier component the cover was meant to guard.
- Part: valve switch cover
- Series: MV
- Reference: GA800
- Part number: B480-1814
Match the cover against the one removed from the machine before ordering, since MV series machines were built across more than one switch layout and the mounting points are not identical on every version. If the switch itself sticks or fails to actuate once the cover is off, that is a separate part from this cover.
