CleanMax ZM-700 Steel Agitator Long Brush Strip

The ZM-700 Steel Agitator Long Brush Strip is the long replaceable bristle insert that fits into the steel agitator of the CleanMax ZM-700 commercial battery upright. It is offered in three stiffness options — Natural (softest, part# B013-0300), White (softer, part# B013-0401B), and Nylon (standard, part# B475-0400B) — so you can match the bristle stiffness to your carpet.

Compatible Models for the ZM-700 Steel Agitator Long Brush Strip

This is a genuine Tacony OEM part for the CleanMax ZM-700 steel agitator. The brush strips are shared across the CleanMax steel-agitator family; broader fitment (including ZM-800) is not yet verified against PartSmart, so call 763-535-0770 to confirm the correct strips and stiffness for your machine.

What the ZM-700 Steel Agitator Long Brush Strip does

The long brush strip slides into a full-length channel on the steel agitator and, paired with the short strip, forms the balanced bristle pattern that grooms the carpet across the whole width of the roller as it spins. The three stiffness grades let a facility tune agitation to the surface: natural for delicate or soft carpet, standard nylon for tough commercial loop, and the white grade in between. As replaceable inserts, the strips renew the bristles without replacing the steel agitator itself, keeping maintenance economical on a hard-working machine.

Signs the ZM-700 Steel Agitator Long Brush Strip needs replacing

Replace the brush strips when the bristles are worn down, splayed, or shorter than the agitator vanes, or when the carpet no longer looks groomed and pickup drops despite good suction and belt tension. Replace the long and short strips together and in the same stiffness so the agitator stays balanced and grooms evenly.

Installation and fit

Power down the machine and remove the steel agitator. Slide the worn long strip out of its channel, choose the matching stiffness, slide the new strip fully in, and refit the agitator, spinning it by hand to confirm the strip is seated and the roller runs balanced. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced CleanMax equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony. Browse more CleanMax parts, or learn more at CleanMax.
