Pancake-Style Brush P/N SAO0307
12” Bristle Replacement Instructions
Updated: 9/10/12
The configuration of the 12” brush (0.021 Dia
Bristles) for the TruckMaster and DuctMaster 1.5”
vacuum hose and Motor has been changed to a
Shorter, “Pancake-Style” hub that allows it to
negotiate sharp turns in smaller air ducts than the
previous type hub. This 12” Brush directly replaces
the original 12” Brush asm.
Page 19 of 26
The 2” Vacuum Hose and motor still use the 18”
brush with 0.032” dia Bristles in the traditional,
longer hub.
This 12” Brush will work on the 2” hose.
While the 18” Brush will fit on the 1.5” hose, there
are some situations where the 18” brush may not
start properly (Due to the brush being held HIGHER by the 2” hose, so the thicker bristles are easier
for the motor to turn it).

The new Pancake-Style Brush hub bristles are replaceable, but the process is different and the
replacement bristles are pre-assembled into 3 bundles that are retained with ¼” shrink tubing that is
bent to match the shape of the grooves in the Pancake-Style Hub.
Each of these bundles should weigh between 0.3 ounces and 0.4 ounces and contain between 115
and 124 individual bristles that are 0.021” diameter by 12 inches long. The Bristles will be slipped
into a piece of ¼” heat-shrink Tubing (Before it is heated) P/N SHOP0011.
