Part number 141699S is the genuine Kirby floor nozzle housing assembly for the Generation 6 upright, supplied without the brush roll and without the belt. It is the metal nozzle body that mounts to the front of the machine and carries the floor tool geometry. Service technicians and owners order it when the original housing is cracked, bent or worn at the mounting points while the brush roll and drive components remain good.
Built for
- Service technicians rebuilding Generation 6 machines
- G6 owners repairing impact damage to the nozzle
- Cleaning contractors maintaining Kirby uprights across a fleet
- Anyone whose machine is mechanically sound but whose nozzle has failed
Metal housing, and what that means in service
The G6 nozzle body is metal rather than molded plastic, which is why these machines survive treatment that destroys lighter uprights. The practical consequence for a repair is that a metal housing tends to deform rather than shatter, so damage is not always obvious. Before deciding an old nozzle is serviceable, set it on a flat surface and check for rock or twist across the mounting face. A housing that is out of true will not seat correctly and will wear a belt and brush roll unevenly.
What is and is not in the box
This part is the housing only. The brush roll, the drive belt and the bottom plate are separate items and are not supplied with it. If the machine is far enough into its life that the housing has failed, it is worth inspecting the brush roll bristles and the belt at the same time and ordering those together, since all three wear on similar timescales.

Frequently asked questions
Does 141699S include a brush roll or belt?
No. It is the nozzle housing only. The brush roll, drive belt and bottom plate are all separate parts.
Which machines does this nozzle fit?
Kirby lists 141699S against the Generation 6 and G6D uprights. Some resellers list broader compatibility across the Generation series and Ultimate G, but those claims are not consistent between sources, so we do not repeat them here.
Is the housing metal or plastic?
Metal. That is why Generation 6 nozzles tolerate impacts that would crack a molded plastic floor head.
How do I tell if my old housing is still usable?
Set it on a flat surface and check for rock or twist across the mounting face. A bent housing will not seat correctly and causes uneven belt and brush wear.
Is this a genuine Kirby part?
Yes, it is the genuine Kirby original equipment housing assembly carrying part number 141699S.
