The 98163 is designed to provide the three most common commercial vacuum cleaning tools utilized with commercial backpack, dry, wet-dry vacuums equipped with a 1.5” inner diameter vacuum hose. The 98163 provides a 1.5” X 54” commercial s-wand with compression collar, a 14” wide multi-surface tool for carpets, entry mats, and transitional flooring along with a 14” wide natural fill floor brush for exclusive use on hard floor surfaces. Components are intended for dry use.
Features and Benefits
- The 1.5” X 54” two piece commercial s-wand weighs 1.4 pounds and features a locking button connecting the two parts providing a firm wobble-free connection and easy separation for storage and transport. The upper wand includes a friction bead that engages the 1.5” female hose end as a male.
- The wand features a high impact ABS compression collar designed to capture and hold the multi-surface and brush nozzles eliminating unintended separation and permitting rotation of the tool to lower the wand to extend under desk and bench seating. The selected ABS will not corrode nor pit like metal collars when exposed to strippers and similar chemical slurries.
- The 14” wide base multi-surface nozzle is ideal for use on carpets, walk off mats, and entry mats. The tool can be used in transition areas where both carpeted and hard floor surfaces are present saving time and steps changing nozzles.
- The 14” wide base multi-surface tool helps to keep the tool parallel to the floor surface for more effective cleaning. Deep air channels maintain airflow, provide valued edge cleaning, and make the tool easier to move on all surfaces. A 10” nylon brush is set into the tool at the ideal height to groom the carpet surface and open the carpet pile to expose and capture embedded dirt.
- The 14” natural fill floor brush is ideal for all hard surfaces. The generous nylon fill will not splay nor collapse under high suction scenarios and is the ideal brush material for sensitive hard floor surfaces such as hardwood, tile, polished stone, and laminates.
- The 14” natural fill floor brush is a favorite of hard floor refinishers as the soft fill will not damage bare wood prior to resurfacing.
- The 14” floor brush features a shorter window cut across 10 inches of the brush face to prevent large debris being pushed forward as with a push broom and to increase the airflow necessary for lifting heavier particulates. A non-marring bumper wraps the tool protecting baseboards, kick plates, and furnishing from rubs and marking.
Compatibility
- Designed to fit commercial cleaning vacuums equipped with a 1.5” inner diameter hose and terminating at the working end of the hose with a female fit 1.5” friction hose cuff.
- Common vacuums compatible with the 98163 include commercial backpack, canister and dry vacuums as well as wet-dry vacuums when used dry (including many domestic shop vacuums).
