A carpet tool rarely fails outright. What happens is slower and easier to miss: the brush flattens, the bristles stop reaching pile, and the head starts gliding over soil that it used to lift. The operator does not report anything broken, the carpet just looks tired sooner between deep cleans. The Sandia 10-0347-A is the factory answer to that - the replacement adjustable brush for the Sandia 10-0347 11-inch carpet tool, listed by Sandia in exactly those terms on its Raven backpack vacuum accessories page.
Buying the brush rather than the head is the reason this part exists. Contractors who track equipment cost treat wear parts as a scheduled line item, the same way they treat vacuum motor brushes: replace on a cycle, inspect what is behind them, and keep a spare so a worn part never takes a machine out of service mid-route. A brush strip is the cheapest point in that chain to intervene.
Built for
- Building service contractors - keeping a fleet of 11 in. tools cutting properly across many buildings
- In-house janitorial teams - a stocked spare means no downtime when a brush finally goes flat
- High-traffic carpet routes - lobbies and corridors flatten a brush far faster than office interiors
- Anyone who bought the 10-0347 - this is the wear part that keeps that tool performing as sold
Use cases
The practical test is simple: look at the bristle tips. If they have splayed sideways or worn back level with the housing, the tool is no longer agitating, and suction alone is doing the work. That is the point to fit a new brush. Crews on nightly commercial routes commonly replace brush wear parts on an annual cycle rather than waiting for a visible failure.

Frequently asked questions
What does the 10-0347-A fit?
Sandia lists it as the adjustable replacement brush for the 10-0347 11 in. Carpet Tool with Adjustable Brush. It is not the brush for the 16 in. tool - that one is 10-0175-A.
How do I know the brush needs replacing?
Check the bristle tips. Splayed, bent or worn-level bristles are no longer reaching into pile, and the tool is relying on suction alone. Carpet that looks dull right after vacuuming is the usual first symptom.
Do I need tools to change it?
The brush is a service part on the tool body rather than a sealed assembly. Have the tool in front of you when you order and we can walk through the change with you.
How many should I keep on the shelf?
Crews running nightly carpet routes generally keep at least one spare brush per tool in service, so a worn brush is a five-minute fix rather than a week of waiting.
Is this the genuine Sandia brush?
Yes. This is factory Sandia 10-0347-A stock.
