Tornado 15-Inch Anti-Static Roller Brush K47624870

The anti-static roller brush (part# K47624870) is the genuine Tacony 15-inch brush roll with conductive bristles. It agitates soil out of the carpet pile like any brush roll, but the anti-static construction bleeds off the charge that dry carpet and synthetic fibre build up — the charge that otherwise makes dust cling to the machine and gives operators a shock on a door handle.

This is a genuine Tacony OEM part. It appears on the accessories and consumables sheet and again on the 15-inch brush head sheet, where it is one of the alternate rolls offered at the same position.

Compatible Models for the Anti-Static Roller Brush K47624870

• Tornado CV 38 (91451) — 15-inch single motor
• Tornado CV 38/2 (91415) — 15-inch dual motor HEPA
• Tornado CVD 38 (91438) — 15-inch single motor
• Tornado CVD 38/2 (91440) — 15-inch dual motor HEPA

This is the widest-fitting brush roll in the 15-inch range: it covers the single-motor CV 38 and CVD 38 as well as the dual-motor CV 38/2 and CVD 38/2. If you run a mixed 15-inch fleet, this one part number serves all four machines.

What the anti-static roller brush does

The roll turns against the carpet and flicks soil up into the airstream. Without agitation a vacuum only lifts what is loose on the surface; the brush is what gets embedded grit out of the pile. The anti-static version adds conductive filaments that carry static charge away to the machine instead of letting it build in the carpet and the operator.

Signs it needs replacing

Bristles shorter than the bumper ring, splayed or curled bristle rows, wood or plastic showing through, or a roll that looks fine but no longer grooms the pile. Persistent static shocks on dry-season carpet are the specific symptom this roll is designed to solve.

Installation and fit

Release the glide sole by hand, lift the old roll out, clear any hair wrapped at the bearing ends, and seat the new roll with the belt over its pulley. Turn it by hand before closing up to check it spins freely and the belt tracks centrally.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does anti-static actually do?

Conductive filaments in the bristle rows carry static charge away rather than letting it build in the carpet. On dry winter air with synthetic carpet that means less dust clinging to the machine and fewer shocks for the operator.

Can I fit this to a 19-inch machine?

No. It is a 15-inch roll. The 19-inch machines take K47624880 or K47624890.

What is the difference between this and the soft black roll?

The soft black roll K69066430 is a standard bristle roll for general carpet. This one adds anti-static filaments and is the choice where static is a problem. Both fit the same four 15-inch machines.

Does it fit the single-motor CVD 38?

Yes. Tacony lists it against the CVD 38 and the CV 38 as well as the two dual-motor 15-inch machines.
