Powr-Flite 18 inch Hard Poly Scrub Brush HP218M

The Powr-Flite HP218M scrub brush is an 18-inch hard polypropylene brush built for Powr-Flite 20-inch 1.5 HP rotary floor machines. It mounts on the machine’s clutch plate in place of a pad driver and pad, and its stiff black poly bristles are made for aggressive scrubbing on textured and heavily soiled hard floors — grouted quarry and ceramic tile, brushed or broom-finished concrete, and rough stone — where a flat pad simply rides over the low spots.

Because the bristles reach down into grout lines and surface texture, the HP218M is the brush operators reach for when stripping old finish or cutting through built-up soil and grease on rough floors. It carries cleaning solution down to the surface and agitates it far more aggressively than a soft brush or a scrub pad, making it a strong choice for restrooms, entryways, dock areas, and food-prep floors.

Compatible Models for the Powr-Flite HP218M Scrub Brush

The HP218M is a shared 18-inch brush that is manufacturer-confirmed for the Powr-Flite C202 Classic Metal Dual-Speed 20-inch Floor Machine. Powr-Flite’s current accessory listings for the C201HD and NM201HD name their nylon and medium-grit brushes (PFMG18, PFHG18, SF718) but not this hard-poly brush, so confirm fitment by phone before ordering for those two:

• Powr-Flite C202 Classic Metal Dual-Speed Floor Machine 20 inch 1.5 HP — C202 (manufacturer-confirmed)
• Powr-Flite Classic Metal Floor Machine 20 inch 1.5 HP — C201HD — call 763-535-0770 to confirm fitment (not listed on Powr-Flite’s current page for this machine)
• Powr-Flite Millennium Floor Machine 20 inch 1.5 HP — NM201HD — call 763-535-0770 to confirm fitment (not listed on Powr-Flite’s current page for this machine)

Choosing the Right Brush Grit

The HP218M hard poly brush is the aggressive middle option in the Powr-Flite 18-inch scrub brush line. Choose the soft nylon SN218M for routine cleaning and buffing of finished floors, the hard poly HP218M for heavy scrubbing and stripping on textured surfaces, and the medium-grit MG218M when you need the most aggressive cut for deep stripping. Match the brush to the job and the machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Powr-Flite HP218M scrub brush do on a 20-inch floor machine?

The Powr-Flite HP218M is an 18-inch hard polypropylene scrub brush that mounts on a Powr-Flite 20-inch 1.5 HP rotary floor machine in place of a pad and driver. Its stiff black poly bristles dig into grout lines, textured tile, and rough concrete to break up heavy soil and stripper without a separate pad.

How do I know if my HP218M brush needs replacing?

Replace the Powr-Flite HP218M scrub brush when the bristles are visibly worn down, splayed, or shorter than about half their original length, or when the brush no longer scrubs evenly across the deck. Worn bristles lose their aggressive cut and leave streaks or missed soil, especially on textured floors.
