Choosing the right GVS-36 or GVS-3K gutter vacuum spare
This collection covers replacement parts for both the GVS-36 and GVS-3K gutter vacuums. You may also see these machines referred to in older product names and spare-part listings as the GVS 3600 and GVS 3000. The GVS-36 is the 3600W machine family, while the GVS-3K is the 3000W machine family.
GVS-36, GVS 3600, GVS-3K and GVS 3000 naming
Some replacement parts were originally named around the machine wattage, so products such as GVS 3000 / 3600 filters, cages, castors and handles remain correctly listed in this collection. When checking compatibility, treat GVS-36 and GVS 3600 as the same machine family, and GVS-3K and GVS 3000 as the same machine family.
Filters, cages and float-valve parts
Several filtration and float-valve components are shared across both GVS machine families. These include the compatible GVS 3000 / 3600 cloth filter, float-valve housing, filter retaining cage and selected wet-use filter components.
Other parts, such as the GVS-36 float-valve cup, are specific to one machine family. Check the individual product page rather than assuming every filter or float-valve component fits both models.
GVS-36 and GVS-3K motors
Motor compatibility is model-specific. The GVS-36 / GVS 3600 uses the 1200W replacement motor listed for the 3600W machine family, while the GVS-3K / GVS 3000 uses a different 1000W motor specification. These motors should not be interchanged between the two machines.
Motor replacement can affect warranty and electrical safety, so follow the individual product guidance and avoid carrying out work that could invalidate an applicable warranty.
Heads, handles, trolleys and machine-body parts
Replacement heads are specific to the relevant GVS-36 or GVS-3K machine, while several chassis parts such as selected clips, hinge components, castors, trolley parts and handles are shared across both families. Match the replacement part to the existing component and check the family tags or product description before ordering.
Shared inlet components with other GVS machines
Some service parts are compatible beyond the GVS-36 and GVS-3K range. For example, the replacement inlet release lever is also used on compatible Panther and Shadow machines, while the heavy-duty inlet plug is shared across several GVS gutter vacuum families.
This shared compatibility is intentional. A product appearing in more than one machine-specific spares collection means the same part fits each machine stated on the product page.
