Powr-Flite 17in HD Black Stripping Floor Pad (5/Case) BH0517

The Powr-Flite 17in HD Black Stripping Floor Pad (part# BH0517) is a heavy-duty version of the black stripping pad, built with a coarser, denser construction that removes thick, multi-coat finish faster and lasts longer on big strip jobs. It is the pad for stripping floors with heavy wax build-up where a standard black pad bogs down.

Compatible Models for the 17in HD Black Stripping Floor Pad (5/Case) BH0517

• Powr-Flite Millennium Floor Machine 17″ 1.5 HP — NM171HD
• Fits any 17-inch low-speed rotary floor machine that uses a pad driver, including the Powr-Flite NM171HD and C171HD and comparable 17″ machines from Tornado and other brands.

Use the BH0517 wet with stripping solution for aggressive removal of built-up finish on VCT and other hard floors. Its heavier construction cuts through more coats per pass and holds up better across large areas than the standard black BK0517, while stopping just short of the maximum-aggression Dominator pad. Reserve it for stripping only. Change the pad when it saturates with dissolved finish or the surface wears smooth.
