The Sandia 10-0862 Teflon wand glide takes the drag out of carpet extraction. Snapped onto the head of a Sandia carpet wand, the low-friction Teflon strip lets the wand slide across carpet instead of plowing through it, cutting operator fatigue on long jobs and keeping stroke speed consistent for more even water recovery. Each wand requires two glides.
Use Cases
- Carpet cleaning technicians running hundreds of wand strokes per job who want less shoulder and back strain
- Commercial glue-down carpet where an unglided wand head tends to grab and chatter
- Restoration work where consistent, smooth strokes improve water recovery
- Refurbishing an older Sandia wand whose original glides have worn through

Frequently Asked Questions
How many 10-0862 glides do I need per wand?
Two. One glide mounts on each edge of the wand head, so order two pieces to outfit one Sandia carpet wand.
What does a Teflon wand glide actually do?
The Teflon strip reduces friction between the wand head and the carpet face. The wand slides instead of dragging, which reduces operator fatigue, protects carpet fibers, and keeps stroke speed consistent for better water recovery.
Which wands does this glide fit?
The 10-0862 is made for Sandia dual-jet S-bend extractor wands such as the Sandia 10-0861. If you run a different brand of wand, check the head dimensions before ordering.
When should glides be replaced?
Replace glides when the Teflon strip wears thin, cracks, or no longer sits flush. Worn glides let the metal head contact carpet, which increases drag and can mark delicate fibers.
