Product details
A Rexair Rainbow power nozzle that flops loosely on the wand, or drops off it entirely mid-clean, usually has a failed pivot arm rather than a problem with the wand or the hose. Part R16518 is that arm, the hinge that lets a PN-12 quick-disconnect nozzle pivot and swing without ever losing its lock to the wand, and Rexair lists it specifically for that nozzle.
The arm typically shows play at the hinge before it fails outright, so a nozzle that feels looser than it used to, even though it has not yet come free, is worth checking before it gets worse. Once the latch stops holding altogether, the connection either flops under normal push-and-pull use or separates from the wand completely.
Fitting it is straightforward: the new arm swaps onto the nozzle neck in place of the old one. Work the new arm through its full range of motion once it is fitted, confirming it locks and releases cleanly at the wand before putting the nozzle back into regular use, and clear any hair wound around the pivot while the joint is open.
Because power-nozzle necks vary in shape, compare the old arm against this one before ordering, or check your serial number if the nozzle is not one you can identify at a glance, since an arm built for a different neck will not seat correctly even when it looks close.
