Know before you buy
This nozzle is specifically engineered for Riccar central vacuum systems. We recommend checking your current wand connection to ensure compatibility, as it may not fit universal or third-party systems.
No, the wand and hose are sold separately. This product includes only the RPB-255 power nozzle head.
The six height adjustments allow you to raise or lower the nozzle to match the pile depth of your carpet. This ensures proper airflow and agitation, preventing the vacuum from getting stuck on high-pile rugs while maintaining deep cleaning on low-pile carpets.
The aluminum brushroll is significantly more durable and resistant to warping or cracking under heat and stress. It also features replaceable brushstrips, which allows you to refresh the bristles over time rather than replacing the entire brushroll assembly.
The integrated dirt sensor detects the amount of debris being picked up from your floors. It alerts you to the cleaning effectiveness, helping you identify areas that may need an extra pass.
Yes, the nozzle is equipped with an overmolded rubber bumper and soft rubber wheels specifically designed to protect baseboards and furniture from nicks or scuffs while you clean.
