Product details
Nobody orders a support rivet until one has already let go. Part 048422 is the fastener Hoover used across a run of upright models to hold structural sections of the body together against decades of vibration, and it fits the 1030, C1067, C1111, C1123, C1125, C1401 and C1407.
A rivet rarely announces trouble ahead of time. It shears outright one day, or the joint it was holding slowly opens up until the pin finally gives way under load. The first sign is often just a faint clatter, or a body panel that gives slightly when it used to sit rigid. Ignore that flex long enough and the stress it was never built to carry starts spreading into the surrounding plastic, turning a fastener that costs pocket change into a housing crack that does not.
Fitting the new rivet closes the joint back to its original tolerance. In most cases that means drilling out the old rivet's remains and setting the replacement with a standard rivet tool rather than pressing it in by hand. A bolt-and-nut substitute holds in a pinch, but it rarely sits as flush as the fastener the joint was engineered around.

These uprights earn their long service lives because hardware like this can be swapped piece by piece rather than scrapping the whole machine. Check the model number on your machine's plate against the list above before you order so the fastener matches your machine.
