Makita 424208-6 — Genuine Makita valve for cordless cleaners
Keep your cordless Makita vacuum sealing and drawing full suction with this genuine Makita valve (part no. 424208-6). It’s the small one‑way flap that sits in the dust‑capsule inlet: it lets air and debris flow into the capsule while the tool is running and closes when the motor stops to prevent material from falling back out. The part is supplied individually and is the original Makita replacement used in the capsule assembly.
Why replace it
- Restores proper airflow and prevents backflow into the capsule, which reduces stress on the motor and keeps filters and seals working as intended. Installation is straightforward — the valve fits into the capsule area and is secured in the housing with the small screw/washer shown in the parts diagram.
