Riccar Crevice Tool for SUN...

Product details
Part B361-2900 is the crevice nozzle supplied with the SUN.3 and JILL.3 canisters, the same machine sold as a Riccar and as a Simplicity.
Riccar's parts listing covers the SUN.3 and later on the Riccar side and the JILL.3 and later on the Simplicity side. Earlier Sun and Jill machines took a different tool, so the generation of your canister matters more here than the name on the lid, and the model badge is the thing to read before ordering.
It pushes straight onto the wand end or onto the hose handle, whichever you happen to be holding, and the narrow slot pulls the machine's suction into a line. Radiator fins, window channels, stair edges and the seams of upholstered chairs are the work it is for, and none of them respond to a wide floor nozzle passing overhead. The narrower the opening, the higher the air speed through it, which is why a crevice tool pulls debris a wide nozzle leaves sitting in a corner.
A crevice tool usually fails at the base rather than the tip. A hairline split where the tool grips the wand leaks air in behind the opening, and the symptom reads as a weak vacuum rather than a broken attachment, so it is worth running a fingertip around that joint before chasing a suction complaint further into the machine. Keeping the narrow tools clipped into the caddy on the canister body rather than loose in a closet is most of what prevents that split, since these tools crack from being stood on or dropped far more often than from use. A molded nozzle has nothing serviceable inside it, so once the base has gone the tool is replaced rather than repaired.
