Variants and what to check

Disk numbers are listed as nylon, polypropylene, super abrasive. The 700 and 800 mm disk brushes share numbers with the T5. The 650 mm deck uses its own 330 mm brushes (1223989 polypropylene). An orbital deck uses a rectangular pad on a backer, not a brush. Confirm the deck width and the serial number before ordering.

What to send us for a quote

• Outer diameter of the brush or pad driver, measured across the bristle tips.
• The drive hub on top: clutch-plate type, number of lugs, or the hole pattern — a clear photo is usually enough.
• Trim length (how far the bristles stick out of the block) and the current fill: polypropylene, nylon or abrasive grit.
• For cylindrical decks: overall length, core diameter and the shape of the drive ends.
• Your machine model (Tennant T500) and, if you have it, the OEM part number from the old brush.

Frequently asked questions

How many brushes does a T500 take?

Two on every disk and cylindrical deck Tennant lists (650, 700 and 800 mm disk; 700 mm cylindrical).

Do T5 brushes fit the T500?

For the 700 and 800 mm disk decks, Tennant lists the same part numbers (for example 1220218 and 1220216). The 650 mm T500 deck uses different 330 mm brushes.

Is there a brush for the T500 orbital head?

No. The orbital version uses a 355 x 700 mm pad on a backer pad (1221839), not a rotary brush.
