The Sandia 10-0347 is an 11-inch carpet tool for crews who spend most of their shift working around obstacles rather than across open floor. At eleven inches it slips between cubicle walls, under desk returns, down aisles and along stair treads that force an operator with a full-width 14-inch head to stop, swap tools, or simply skip the spot. Sandia lists it as a factory accessory for both the 6-quart and the 10-quart Raven backpack vacuum series, so it drops onto the same 1.5-inch wand a building-services crew is already carrying.
What separates it from a plain 11-inch floor head is the adjustable brush. Raise the brush and the tool runs as an open-mouth carpet head, with the pile agitated just ahead of the suction opening so embedded grit lifts into the airstream instead of being pushed further down into the backing. Drop the brush and the same tool sweeps a tile corridor or a polished lobby without the operator going back to the cart. Attachment guides for commercial backpack vacuums make the same point about adjustable-brush heads generally: a retractable brush is what lets one head cover carpet and hard surface, where a fixed felt head is deliberately limited to delicate hard floors.
Built for
- Office and cubicle cleaning - clears the runs between partitions and under desk returns where a full-width head jams
- Hospitality corridors and guest rooms - narrow enough to work around furniture legs and bed frames without repositioning
- Stairs and landings - the shorter head sits on a tread properly instead of bridging the nose
- Mixed-surface routes - one tool for carpeted offices and the hard-floor break room on the same pass
- Education and healthcare buildings - tight furniture spacing and long nightly routes reward a head that does not need swapping
Use cases
Most crews buy this tool as a second head rather than a replacement. The 14-inch or 16-inch tool stays on the wand for open floor, and the 11-inch goes on for detail passes. The other common purchase reason is building type: a route with heavy furniture density never gets full value from a wide head, and the operator ends up dragging it sideways, which is hard on both the tool and the wrist.

Frequently asked questions
Which Sandia vacuums does the 10-0347 fit?
Sandia lists the 10-0347 as an accessory for the Raven 6-Quart and Raven 10-Quart backpack vacuum series, which use the 1.5 in. wand. If you are running a different Sandia machine or a private-label unit, send us the model number and we will confirm the wand size before you order.
What does the adjustable brush actually change?
It sets how far the bristles sit below the suction opening. Brush down gives you bristle contact for hard floor and low-pile work; brush up opens the head for cut-pile carpet so the tool is not riding on the bristles.
Can I replace just the brush when it wears out?
Yes. Sandia sells 10-0347-A as the replacement adjustable brush for the 11 in. carpet tool, so a flattened brush does not mean buying a new head.
How is this different from the 16-inch carpet tool?
The 16 in. tool (Sandia 10-0175) covers more floor per pass and suits open areas. The 11 in. covers less ground but reaches into furniture-dense space. Crews that clean both usually carry one of each.
Is this a genuine Sandia part?
Yes. We stock the factory Sandia 10-0347, not an aftermarket copy.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer. Every Sandia part we list is genuine factory stock, and our US-based team can confirm fitment against your machine's model and serial number before you order, so a service part arrives ready to install instead of sitting on the shelf as the wrong number.
