This is the straight extension wand for the Kirby Generation 4, the rigid tube that connects the hose to a floor tool, crevice tool or dusting brush when the machine is set up for above-floor cleaning. Kirby part 224093 is molded and colored to match the G4 and G4D, so it seats correctly at both ends and looks right on the machine rather than like a generic substitute. Wands take more abuse than most people expect. They get stepped on, dropped down stairs and levered against furniture, and once the coupling end cracks or goes out of round the seal is gone and suction at the tool drops off noticeably. Replacing the wand restores the airflow the machine was designed around without touching the motor or the bag system.
Built for
Above-floor cleaning with the hose attachment set
The wand is what gives you reach for upholstery, stairs, vents and ceiling corners. Without a sound wand the hose set is limited to arm's length, which is why a cracked wand usually gets noticed the first time someone tries to do a staircase.
Restoring lost suction at the attachment end
A split or loose-fitting wand leaks air along its whole length. That air is not being pulled through the tool, so the machine sounds normal but cleans poorly. Swapping the wand is the cheapest fix to rule out before assuming a motor or bag problem.
Keeping older G4 machines in service
Kirby uprights routinely outlive several sets of accessories. Replacing wear parts like the wand is how a well-maintained G4 stays in daily use decades after purchase, which is the main reason this part is still in demand.

Frequently asked questions
Will this wand fit other Kirby generations?
This wand is specified for the Generation 4 and G4D. Kirby changed wand length, diameter and color across the Generation series, so a wand from a different generation may physically enter the hose but will not always seal or lock correctly. Match the generation stamped on your machine.
How do I know my wand is the problem and not the vacuum?
With the hose attached, cover the end of the wand with your palm. A sound wand and hose will load the motor noticeably. If the motor barely changes pitch, air is leaking somewhere in the wand or hose rather than reaching the tool.
Do I need one wand or two?
The G4 attachment set uses wands in series to build up length. If you want full reach for high dusting or stairwells you may want more than one, but a single wand is enough for most upholstery and crevice work.
Does this include any cleaning tools?
No. This listing is the straight wand itself. Floor tools, crevice tools and dusting brushes are separate Kirby accessories.
