A backpack or canister vacuum is only as good as what is on the end of the hose. This ProTeam 1-1/2 inch tool kit, part number 103644, pairs a one-piece two-bend wand with a 14 inch hard floor tool - the combination crews reach for when the route is mostly tile, sealed concrete, VCT and hard-surface corridor rather than carpet. It is bought two ways: as the accessory set for a machine that arrived body-only, and as the replacement for a wand that finally cracked at the coupling after a few thousand hours of being dragged around furniture.
Built for
- Hard-floor routes - tile, VCT, sealed concrete, hardwood and terrazzo corridors
- Replacing a bent, cracked or missing wand and floor tool as one matched set
- Outfitting a newly purchased ProTeam vacuum that shipped without attachments
- Standardizing a fleet so every operator on the crew works with the same tools
- Cleaning contractors who want a fixed-length wand with no joint to work loose mid-shift
One-piece versus two-piece wand
ProTeam builds both. A one-piece two-bend wand is a single fixed-length tube with the bends already formed in it, so there is no button-lock joint in the middle to loosen, rattle or seize. That is the durability argument, and it is the reason a lot of route supervisors specify one-piece for crews that vacuum long open corridors all shift. The trade-off is storage and transport: a one-piece wand does not break down, so it takes a full-length space in the van or the janitorial closet. If you need the wand to come apart, the two-piece aluminum equivalent is the kit to look at instead. ProTeam publishes one-piece two-bend aluminum wands as standalone parts as well, including a 56 inch version and a 49 inch version, which confirms the design family this kit belongs to.
Fitment note - read before ordering
This is a 1-1/2 inch size-class kit, which is the larger of ProTeam two attachment platforms - a 1-1/2 inch wand will not seat correctly on a 1-1/4 inch machine and the reverse is also true. Measure the cuff on your existing wand before ordering. ProTeam does not publish the full box contents for 103644 on its product page, so while the wand and the 14 inch hard floor tool are named in the part description, we cannot confirm whether a crevice tool or dust brush ships alongside them. We would rather tell you that than guess. Call us with your machine model if you need the exact contents confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a one-piece and a two-piece wand?
A one-piece wand is a single fixed-length tube with no joint in the middle, so there is nothing to work loose during a shift. A two-piece wand uses a button-lock joint so it can be adjusted and broken down for storage and transport. ProTeam builds both in the 1-1/2 inch size class.
Will this kit fit my ProTeam vacuum?
It fits machines built on the 1-1/2 inch attachment size class. Measure the cuff on your current wand or hose end before ordering, since a 1-1/2 inch wand will not seat on a 1-1/4 inch machine.
Which floor tool should I use on hard floors?
ProTeam offers 14 inch hard floor tools in nylon brush, horse hair blend and felt brush variants. Nylon is the general-purpose choice, horse hair is gentler on finished and polished surfaces, and felt is used where the finish is most delicate.
My wand keeps coming loose from the hose. Is a one-piece kit the fix?
It removes one of the two joints. Wand-to-hose connections on backpack and canister vacuums are friction fit and can loosen with heavy use. A one-piece wand eliminates the mid-wand joint, but the hose cuff connection still needs to be seated and inspected.
Does this kit include a crevice tool and dust brush?
The manufacturer does not publish the full contents for this kit, so we cannot confirm it. The part description names the one-piece two-bend wand and the 14 inch hard floor tool. Contact us before ordering if the additional tools matter to you.
