The appeal of a 20-inch squeegee is simple arithmetic: a wider path is fewer passes, and fewer passes is less time standing in water. The catch is that a wide blade is less forgiving than a narrow one. Over a long span, any waviness, nicking or set in the rubber shows up immediately as a stripe of water left down the middle of the pass.
The Sandia 10-0172 is the OEM replacement blade set for the 20-inch squeegee tool. Replacing the rubber restores the full-width seal the tool was designed around, which is the difference between recovering a corridor in one clean pass and going back over it twice. For crews doing large hard-floor areas, flood response or post-scrub recovery, blade condition is the variable that most directly controls how long the job takes.
Built for
- Wide-path wet pickup in corridors, gyms, warehouses and cafeterias
- Post-scrub recovery where the machine leaves an edge line to clean up
- Flood and water-loss response, where recovery speed is the whole job
- Any wide squeegee tool that has started leaving a stripe down the center of the pass
Why crews order this part
- Restores a continuous seal across the full 20-inch width, so one pass finishes the pass
- Replaces the wear item instead of the tool, which is a fraction of the cost
- OEM blade set, so the rubber matches the channel and does not have to be trimmed to fit

Frequently asked questions
Which tool does this blade set fit?
It is Sandia's replacement blade set for a 20-inch squeegee tool. Measure the blade channel on your tool before ordering, and if you are unsure, call us with the model number and we will confirm it.
I have a 14-inch squeegee. Is this the right part?
No. The 14-inch Sandia squeegee tool takes the 10-0170-A black 4-pack or the 10-0489 white 4-pack instead.
How do I know the blades are worn out?
Look at the working edge. Rounding, nicks or a permanent set in the rubber all break the seal, and the tell-tale on a wide tool is a line of water left behind in the middle of the pass.
Is this an OEM Sandia part?
Yes. It is the genuine Sandia blade set, not a cut-to-length generic.
Discount Cleaning Products is an authorized Sandia dealer. We stock the Raven backpack line and its service parts together, so the part you order is the OEM part that matches the machine rather than a generic substitute, and our US-based team can help you confirm the right number off your parts list before you order.
