Recently, I was thrilled to hear from a homeowner who discovered that our Type 2 swing plastic fitting perfectly fits her vintage RUS4180-2002 swing. This swing, which holds a special place in her heart, had become difficult to maintain due to the unavailability of parts.
If you are homeowner with aging RUS4180-2002 swing and the original replacement parts are no longer available, Timyrimy’s Type 2 canopy bracket, Type 2B crossbar connector and 1.97” leg caps offer a reliable and compatible aftermarket solution. Additionally, Garden Winds provides a replacement canopy to help keep your swing in excellent condition.
What is the RUS4180 Three Seater Swing?
The RUS4180 is a vintage three-seater swing that dates back more than two decades. Its manufacturer and origin details are no longer available, making it a bit of a mystery in the outdoor furniture world.
Despite limited public information, we’ve gathered helpful insights, including its design and part codes, thanks to owners who’ve preserved their user manuals and frames.
The Canopy Frame Connector: Code 1800615004-01
According to assembly documents, the canopy/frame connector for this swing carries the code 1800615004-01, and the corresponding plastic screw is labeled 1800018001-01. If your swing shares this connector code—even if it’s not marked as a RUS4180—there’s a high chance our Type 2 swing plastic fitting will be a compatible match.
What are RUS4180 Three Seater Swing Replacement Parts?
Replacement Canopy
The RUS4180 swing requires a flat-style canopy. Measure the outer edges of your swing frame (both length and width) before purchasing.
Universal canopy replacements are widely available on platforms like Amazon. For a higher-quality upgrade, Garden Winds offers CPAI-84 flame-retardant polyester canopies that are well-suited for outdoor use.
Replacement Canopy/Frame Connector
Our Timyrimy Type 2 Connector is a perfect replacement for swings using the 1800615004-01 connector. A recent customer with an original RUS4180 swing confirmed that it fit perfectly.
You can also find this part on our Timyrimy Amazon store. Make sure to double-check dimensions before placing an order.
Replacement Crossbar Connector
In 2025, Timyrimy developed an aftermarket crossbar connector specifically designed for the RUS4180-2002 variant. The upgraded part uses durable nylon plastic, improving strength and longevity over the original design.
Replacement Leg Cap
We Timyrimy 1.97” horseshoe-shaped leg caps provide a basic fit for the RUS4180-2002 model. Due to minor sizing differences, full compatibility isn’t guaranteed. To improve the fit:
- Clean the swing legs thoroughly.
- Apply a layer of petroleum jelly to both the leg and the inside of the cap.
- Press the cap in place, using a rubber mallet if needed.
Identifying Replacement Needs
When assessing which parts need replacing, inspect these areas first:
- Canopy frame: Look for cracks or rust around the connectors.
- Plastic fittings: Check for brittleness or signs of UV damage.
- Crossbars and feet: Ensure stability and no wobbling.
Taking proper measurements and comparing connector shapes is essential. Use part codes when possible to verify compatibility.
