Wet Nozzle

To pick up liquids off a smooth surface, 
use the 2-1/2" wet nozzle accessory sup-
plied with your wet/dry vac. To use, simply 
attach the nozzle to the end of an exten-
sion wand.
Connect a second extension wand to the 
first, and connect the 2-1/2" x 7’ hose to 
the extension wand.
Liquids may be picked up by dragging the 
nozzle across the surface. The squeegee 
will dry the surface as you vacuum.
If the rubber becomes worn, it may be 
flipped over for use on the opposite side 
or replaced. (Replacement service part 
#822256). To reverse or replace the 
squeegee:

1. Lay the wet nozzle on a flat surface with 

the round inlet opening facing up and 
the two latches close to you as shown.

2. Using both hands, position each thumb 

on the removable insert, (below the 
latches) and two fingers of each hand 
on each latch, lift and disengage the 
two latches from the tabs on the nozzle 
body.

3. Gently pull the latches toward yourself 

to remove the insert.

To reinstall the removable insert correctly, 
follow these steps:

1. Place the removable insert on a flat sur-

face with the pins positioned upward 
and the latches close to you as shown. 
Place the rubber squeegee on the 
insert, with the pins fitting through the 
matching holes in the squeegee. (Make 
sure the new working edge is located 
farthest from you.)

2. Using both hands, lower the nozzle 

body onto the insert and squeegee with 
the round opening of the nozzle closest 
to you. With fingers on the far side and 
thumbs holding the latches of the 
removable insert, flip the nozzle over so 
the latches are on the top and the round 
inlet opening is facing away from you. 
Make sure the squeegee stays on the 
insert pins.

3. Press down with each thumb below the 

latching tabs until you see and hear the 
removable insert snap into the nozzle 
body. Snap the latches over the locking 
tabs into their original position.

4. Inspect the pins of the insert to make 

sure they fit through the holes of the 
squeegee and fit into the matching slots 
in the nozzle body.

NOTE: If the pins are out position, hold 
the nozzle assembly with both hands 
and gently twist in opposite directions. 
The insert pins should snap into 
proper position. 

The wet nozzle assembly is ready for wet
pickup use.
