SEBO Stair and Surface Nozzle for the Balance A1

A full-width floor head is the wrong shape for a stair tread and a crevice tool is far too slow across one, which is the gap part 8833AM fills. The opening on this SEBO nozzle is sized to a single tread and to the narrow surfaces around it, so landings, thresholds, closet shelves and window sills each take one steady pass instead of several overlapping ones. In SEBO's exploded view of the Balance A1 it appears as item 14.

Stairs are where any vacuum is worked hardest and where a mismatched tool shows itself immediately: too wide and the nozzle rides up on the nosing, too narrow and one tread turns into four passes. Sized correctly it sits flat, holds its seal against carpet or timber, and lets you work down the flight with the machine parked at the bottom. The same shape suits the flat, narrow surfaces a floor head can never reach, from shelf tops and radiator covers to the strip of floor behind a door.

Replace it when the neck has cracked at the joint, when the edge has worn round and no longer holds contact, or when the original never came back upstairs after the last job.

People look for this one as a SEBO stair tool, as a Balance A1 stair nozzle and as a surface nozzle, and all three descriptions land on the same part. It is worth keeping a second on the holder if the house has more than one flight, because the tool that goes missing is always the one that gets used most.

Genuine SEBO part, so it locks onto the Balance A1 connection properly rather than almost fitting. Ships in 2-5 business days.
