Variants and what to check

Disk part numbers are listed as nylon, polypropylene, super abrasive. Read the deck width off the machine first: a 24 in deck takes 12 in brushes, 28 in takes 14 in and 32 in takes 16 in. The 26 in cylindrical brushes are 18-single-row (18SR) designs. The same 14 and 16 in disks (for example 1220218, 1220216) are also listed for the T500.

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 T5) and, if you have it, the OEM part number from the old brush.

Both exist. The T5 was sold with 24, 28 or 32 in disk decks and with 26 or 32 in cylindrical decks, each using two brushes.

What size disc brush fits a 28 in T5?

Two 14 in (355 mm) brushes. Tennant lists them as 1221541 (nylon), 1220218 (polypropylene) and 1220217 (super abrasive).

Are T5 and T5e brushes the same?

Yes. Tennant's parts sheet covers the T5 and T5e together with one set of brush numbers.
