Vortex II Weighted Tube Assembly, Hi-Tech V-130 Replacement Part

Vortex II Weighted Tube Assembly: Replacement V-130 Part for Your Vortex Gun

The Hi-Tech Vortex II Weighted Tube Assembly is replacement part V-130 for the Hi-Tech Vortex Cleaning Gun. The Vortex II weighted tube is the part that makes the vortex happen, and it’s the one busy shops replace most. It’s sold as a single assembly.

How the Vortex II Weighted Tube Works

Inside the Vortex gun’s cone sits a flexible, counter-weighted tube. When you squeeze the trigger, the Vortex II weighted tube whips around in a tornado-like motion, so the air covers far more area than a straight blow gun. That swirling air is what pulls dust, dirt, and debris out of hard-to-reach places.

Because the weighted tube is always moving when the gun is on, it’s the part that works the hardest. Over time, a tube that’s been run all day in a shop wears out, and the gun loses the swirl that makes it a Vortex.

What makes this one worth keeping in the garage:

• Genuine Hi-Tech replacement weighted tube assembly for the Vortex II dry cleaning gun
• Part number V-130
• Puts the swirl back in a Vortex gun with a worn tube
• A must-have spare for shops that run the Vortex for long periods
• Sold as a single assembly

Why Busy Shops Keep a Spare Vortex II Weighted Tube

We highly recommend that busy shops, where the Vortex gun runs for long periods and multiple employees share the tool, keep one or two extra Vortex II weighted tube assemblies in the toolbox. When one wears out, you swap in the spare and keep working instead of waiting on a part.

While you’re replacing the tube, check the cone too. We carry the standard Vortex II Air Cone, and for high-volume detail shops that put the gun through heavy abuse, the metal-lined cone is built to outlast the regular plastic cones.

Tips for Using Your Vortex Gun

For dirt that’s caked into corners, loosen it first with a good detail brush, such as our Dual Head Detail Brush, and then let the Vortex gun blast it away. When you use the Vortex gun on old vintage cars, start with lower air pressure.
