Original Makita part 140K23-3 — Valve Stay Complete — a small molded bracket / valve assembly that secures the paper or cloth dust bag and acts as the dust-stop / valve inside the front cover of Makita cordless cleaners.
This genuine Makita replacement fits many Makita cordless cleaner models, for example DCL282F and DCL285F, and CL002G
Functionally it replaces the bag-holder / dust-stopper (installed at the front cover, often listed as item “valve stay” in parts diagrams), snapping into the housing and working with the front cover seal so the dust bag seats and the inlet valve opens / closes correctly. This makes it an ideal genuine Makita spare when the original plastic latch or flap has cracked, warped, or lost its sealing action.
Perfect for quick repairs to get your cordless cleaner back in service — a direct-fit, low-cost part widely referenced in Makita parts lists and manuals for their portable vacuums and cleaners, and a common item among power tool parts for maintenance.
