Simplicity / Riccar DC Plat...

$6.99

Product details

B220-4500 is the felt seal fitted at the handle pivot on DC platform uprights from Simplicity and Riccar. It sits where the upper handle reclines against the body, cushioning the joint and closing the small gap there so the machine does not rattle or leak air at that point.

Felt compresses and wears thin with years of reclining and standing the handle back up, so a loose or rattling handle pivot on an otherwise sound machine is a reasonable place to check before assuming a hinge or bracket has broken.

  • Part number: B220-4500
  • Platform: DC
  • Location: handle pivot

Confirm the DC platform coding on your parts diagram before ordering, since Simplicity and Riccar used more than one handle pivot design.

Because this seal is felt rather than rubber, it wears by compressing thinner over time rather than cracking outright, so a handle that feels sloppier than it used to is often the first sign rather than a sudden failure. Ships to you in 2-5 business days.
