38mm Multi-Purpose Floor Tool Housing (Dry Insert) – Commercial Vacuum Floor Tool

Dramatically reduce your industrial equipment maintenance costs with the highly practical 38mm Multi-Purpose Floor Tool Housing (FTH138-5). In heavy-duty commercial environments, the outer shell and bristles of vacuum floor tools take a severe beating. Constant ramming into warehouse racking and grinding across rough concrete eventually wears the bristles flat or cracks the plastic chassis. Rather than discarding the entire expensive floor head assembly, this specialized commercial vacuum floor tool acts as a brilliant, cost-effective replacement shell. It is supplied complete with a high-quality European hard-floor dry insert, instantly restoring your tool to perfect, factory-level sweeping condition.

Engineered for maximum versatility and massive industrial airflow, this replacement housing is modeled on the highly popular European multipurpose tool design. Featuring a universally accepted, oversized 38mm neck connection, it flawlessly integrates with massive twin-motor commercial vacuums and industrial extraction wands. The included dry insert features stiff, durable bristles that aggressively sweep heavy sawdust, concrete dust, and large debris from hard surfaces. By utilizing these heavy-duty vacuum accessories, appliance repair technicians and facility managers can rapidly rebuild their broken 38mm floor tools for a fraction of the cost of buying an entirely new assembly.

Who Is This 38mm Multipurpose Housing Ideal For?

The FTH138-5 Housing provides a highly cost-effective repair solution with a dry sweeping insert. It is highly recommended for:

  • Appliance Repair Technicians: Keeping a supply of bare 38mm commercial vacuum floor tools in the workshop to affordably rebuild clients' cracked industrial floor tools by attaching their existing metal necks.
  • Warehouse & Industrial Cleaners: Utilizing the aggressive stiff bristles of the included dry insert to rapidly sweep heavy metal shavings and concrete dust from expansive factory floors.
  • Commercial Cleaning Contractors: Drastically reducing equipment replacement budgets. When staff wear out the bristles on a 38mm tool, managers can simply rebuild it using this housing instead of buying a brand-new head.
  • Construction & Tradespeople: Relying on the heavy-duty European plastic construction of this replacement shell to survive being dropped and crushed on busy building sites.

Key Features and Performance Benefits:

  • Cost-Effective Rebuild Shell: Supplied as the outer plastic housing complete with a dry bristle insert. This completely eliminates the unnecessary expense of buying a full tool assembly if you already have the neck and clips.
  • Included Dry Sweeping Insert: The base features a high-quality, European-made brush strip insert. The stiff bristles easily agitate and lift heavy, stubborn dirt from hard floors without scratching the surface.
  • Oversized 38mm Fitment: Engineered specifically to fit the 38mm industrial standard, ensuring it seamlessly accepts massive 38mm commercial wands to maximize airflow and prevent blockages.
  • Heavy-Duty European Build: Manufactured from rigid, high-impact commercial plastic designed specifically to withstand the brutal impacts and dropping associated with daily industrial contract cleaning.
  • Interchangeable Design: Because it is a 'Multi-Purpose' housing, you can purchase and swap in different inserts (like rubber squeegee blades) later if your cleaning requirements change to wet extraction.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility:

  • Part Number: FTH138-5
  • Product Type: Multi-Purpose Floor Tool Housing (with Dry Brush Insert)
  • Connection Size: 38mm (Internal Diameter Standard)
  • Inclusions: European plastic housing and hard-floor dry brush insert.

What exactly does this product include?

This product includes the main black plastic outer shell (the housing) and the bottom 'Dry Insert' (the plate with the stiff sweeping bristles). It is designed to replace the worn-out sweeping part of your existing tool.

Does it include the neck that attaches to the metal pipe?

No. This is a replacement housing assembly. It does NOT include the swiveling neck or the connection clips. You must reuse the neck and clips from your broken tool, or purchase replacement necks separately.

What does '38mm' mean?

38mm refers to the oversized standard of the vacuum system this housing is designed for. It is an industrial standard used for heavy-duty vacuums that suck up large debris without blocking.

Will this fit my standard 32mm Pacvac backpack vacuum?

No. Standard commercial backpacks use the smaller 32mm standard. This 38mm housing is for massive industrial vacuums. It will not fit a 32mm neck or wand.

What is the 'Dry Insert' used for?

The dry insert features rows of stiff synthetic bristles. It is explicitly designed for sweeping dry dust, sawdust, and heavy dirt off hard surfaces like concrete, tiles, and timber floors.

Can I use this on commercial carpets?

While it will suck up dirt, the stiff bristles of the dry insert will 'drag' heavily on carpet, making it very exhausting to push. For carpets, you generally want a flat glide-plate insert.

Can I use this to suck up water?

No, the included 'Dry' bristle insert is for dust only. If you want to suck up water, you need to slide the bristles out and install a 'Wet Insert' (rubber squeegee blades), which must be purchased separately.

Is it difficult to attach my old neck to this new housing?

It requires basic mechanical skills. You will generally need to unclip or unscrew the swiveling neck from your old, broken housing and snap or screw it firmly into the mounting points on this new shell.

Why buy this instead of a whole new floor tool?

If you have a perfectly good, expensive swiveling neck, but your bristles are worn flat to the plastic, buying just this housing and insert saves you significant money while giving you brand-new sweeping performance.

Is the plastic durable?

Yes, it is high-quality European-manufactured plastic. It is a heavy-duty commercial grade shell designed specifically to survive being rammed into warehouse walls and machinery without shattering.

Can I replace the bristle insert again when it wears out?

Yes! The massive advantage of the 'Multi-Purpose' housing is that the bottom inserts slide out. When these bristles eventually wear down years from now, you can buy just the insert, saving even more money.

Do you offer trade pricing for vacuum repair shops?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for appliance repair technicians, commercial cleaners, and facility managers. Contact us to establish your trade account for spare parts.
