Designed for Upholstery and Small Surfaces

Use the tool with a compatible vacuum system and follow the cleaning guidance for the material being vacuumed. Take care around seams, piping, buttons and delicate fabrics.
Black Polypropylene Construction
The tool's non-metal body is made from black polypropylene. Flexaust describes the material as having high impact resistance and resistance to most solvents and chemicals. Suitability still depends on the specific cleaning environment and substances involved.

The 506BLK connects to Type 1 tool couplings. The listed neck size is 1-9/16", and the tool friction-fits to a 1.5" inside-diameter hose. Check the coupling and hose dimensions of your equipment before ordering, as brand names alone do not guarantee compatibility.

Buying Guide for the Black Non-Metal Upholstery Tool
When choosing an upholstery vacuum tool, consider the cleaning surface, tool width, hose diameter and vacuum coupling. The 506BLK has a 5" cleaning width, a Type 1 connection and a 1-9/16" neck. It friction-fits to a 1.5" inside-diameter hose.
1. Confirm the Connector Type
The 506BLK connects to Type 1 tool couplings. Check the connection on your vacuum wand or coupling before ordering, especially if you are replacing an existing attachment.
2. Check the Hose Diameter
This tool friction-fits to a hose with a 1.5" inside diameter. Confirm the hose size and connection arrangement on your vacuum equipment to ensure a suitable fit.
3. Choose the Right Cleaning Width
The 5" width provides a compact cleaning head for upholstery and small surfaces. Consider the size of the area you clean and whether a handheld upholstery tool is more suitable than a wider floor attachment.
4. Consider Non-Metal Construction
The black polypropylene body offers a non-metal construction with high impact resistance. The material is described as resistant to most solvents and chemicals, but compatibility depends on the specific substance and operating conditions.
5. Decide Whether You Need a Brush
The 506BLK is the upholstery tool. The 506BBLK slide-on brush is available separately for applications where brushing action is desired. Choose the brush based on the surface and cleaning method.
Before You Order
- Confirm your equipment uses a Type 1 tool coupling.
- Verify the 1-9/16" neck and 1.5" hose inside diameter.
- Make sure the 5" width suits your cleaning task.
- Order the 506BBLK slide-on brush separately if needed.
