What the sleeve does
It gives the operator a consistent grip point on a tube that is otherwise hot and slippery when wet, and protects the tube finish where the wand is gripped and set down. On a stainless wand it also keeps the contact area from polishing to a mirror, which is where slips start.
Fitment
Sized for 1.5 inch tube. Measure the outside diameter of your wand tube before ordering — 1.5 inch and 1.25 inch tube are both common, and the sleeve will not stretch to cover the difference.
PMF also makes a 1.5 × 4 inch sleeve (AC15), a 2 × 6 inch sleeve (AC17) and a 1.25 × 4.5 inch sleeve (AC18). Ask us if you need a different size.
Frequently asked questions
Will it fit a 2 inch wand like the Mach 15?
No. A 2 inch tube needs the 2 × 6 inch sleeve (PMF AC17).
When should it be replaced?
When it has split, slides on the tube or has worn through to the metal.
What we see in the field
A split sleeve grip isn't usually the fault that stops the job, but it's hard on the operator's hand all day. Remove any sharp edges or adhesive residue before fitting the new 1.5-by-6-inch sleeve. If the metal underneath is cracked, a fresh grip won't make it safe.
Tell us the machine you run and the work you do and we will confirm the right wand or part before you order.
