The ProTeam 103166 Complete Backplate System restores the load-bearing core of your older-style cylinder backpack vacuum so you can keep a proven machine working instead of replacing it. Cleaning crews, facility maintenance teams, and contractors rely on this two-piece backplate and harness assembly to bring a worn unit back to comfortable, all-shift carrying condition.
Built for
This complete harness backplate fits the older-style cylinder ProTeam backpack vacuums, including the AviationVac, LineVacer HEPA, LineVacer ULPA, MegaVac, Super CoachVac, Super QuarterVac, and QuietPro BP. It will not fit the newer Pro Series, GoFit, or Sierra backpacks, so confirm your model before ordering.
Typical use cases include replacing cracked backplates after years of daily use, swapping out frayed or stretched shoulder straps, and rebuilding a fleet of backpack vacuums to a consistent, comfortable standard across a janitorial team.
What is included
The 103166 assembly is a complete kit, not a single panel. It includes the carry handle with rivet and washer set, the shoulder strap assembly, the backplate with barrel-nut connection, four backplate screws with washers, the waist belt, the waist belt keeper and latch, and a cord holder. Because the harness mounts directly to the backplate, replacing the whole system at once gives you an even, balanced fit rather than mixing old and new components.
Frequently asked questions
Which ProTeam vacuums does the 103166 backplate fit?
It fits the older-style cylinder ProTeam backpacks, including the AviationVac, LineVacer HEPA and ULPA, MegaVac, Super CoachVac, Super QuarterVac, and QuietPro BP. It does not fit the newer Pro Series, GoFit, or Sierra models.
Is the 103166 a complete kit or just the backplate?
It is a complete kit. It includes the backplate, shoulder strap assembly, carry handle, mounting screws and washers, waist belt, waist belt keeper and latch, and a cord holder.
Can I replace just the shoulder straps instead?
You can, but rebuilding the full system at once ensures the harness and backplate seat evenly together for a balanced, comfortable carry across long shifts.
