As Simple As 1-2-3
The 117470 is a heavy-duty central vacuum motor designed for reliable operation in residential and commercial central vacuum applications. It features a 3-stage motor design, 7.2-inch fan, 1,400-watt rating, 120-volt operation, bypass cooling, tangential air discharge, and ball-bearing construction.
This motor is specifically listed as a replacement for the VACUFLO 360 and VACUFLO 860. It is also used in select NuTone central vacuum systems, including the CV353, CV553, and CV653.
Replacing a worn motor can be an economical way to extend the life of an existing VACUFLO 360 power unit when the tank, wiring, relay, and other components remain in good condition.
Powerful 3-Stage Motor
The Ametek-Lamb 117470 uses a 3-stage, 7.2-inch motor design that provides strong vacuum performance for central vacuum applications. Its bypass configuration keeps the cooling air separate from the dirt-laden vacuum airflow, helping protect the motor during operation.
The motor uses tangential bypass discharge and ball bearings for dependable operation.
Designed for the VACUFLO 360
The 117470 is specifically cross-referenced to the:
- VACUFLO 360
- VACUFLO 860
The VACUFLO 860 uses two motors, while the VACUFLO 360 uses one.
Important: Always compare the motor number on your existing motor before ordering. Central vacuum motors can vary by model and production year.

VACUFLO 360 Motor Replacement
If your VACUFLO 360 has reduced suction or unusual motor performance, replacing the motor may restore proper operation.
Common symptoms of a failing central vacuum motor include:
- Weak or reduced suction
- Motor running louder than normal
- Excessive vibration
- Motor overheating
- Motor shutting off during use
- Motor failing to start
- Burning or electrical odor
- Excessive carbon brush sparking
- Circuit breaker tripping
Before replacing the motor, inspect the hose, inlet valves, tubing, filters, and other components for restrictions. A clogged hose or blocked tubing can cause reduced suction even when the motor is functioning properly.
