The Mercury 1716 is a 15-inch nylon carpet shampoo brush built for cleaning professionals and facility crews who run rotary floor machines and need reliable deep agitation on commercial carpet. The medium-stiff black nylon bristles flex the carpet pile and lift embedded soil during shampooing, pre-spray scrubbing, and bonnet work, so each pass pulls more dirt to the surface for extraction. It fits Mercury 15-inch floor machines and, thanks to the universal Type B/92 clutch plate, many other single-disc buffers as well.

Frequently asked questions
What machines does the Mercury 1716 fit?
It is designed for 15-inch Mercury floor machines and fits many other single-disc rotary buffers that accept the Type B/92 clutch plate, including popular Kent, Clarke, and Pullman-Holt models.
Is this brush for scrubbing or polishing?
The 1716 uses medium-stiff nylon bristles made for carpet shampooing and scrubbing. For hard-floor polishing you would want a union-mix polishing brush instead.
Does it come with the clutch plate installed?
Yes. The brush includes the Mercury Type B/92 clutch plate, so it mounts directly to a compatible floor machine without buying a separate driver.
