This latch attaches to the body of the Trusted Clean 'Quench' wet/dry vacuum, and holds the vac head assembly in place. If the latch becomes bent or broken, it will not create a great seal between the vac head assembly, the gasket, and the vacuum recovery tank. If one or both latches are compromised, you could lose some amount of suction.

For other parts and options on the 'Quench' vac, please take a look at our full line of vacuum gaskets and other miscellaneous parts.
