Milwaukee 4 in./5 in. Shroud Replacement Bristles
Model Number: 31-01-0185
The Milwaukee 31-01-0185 is a genuine OEM Replacement Bristle set for Milwaukee 4 in. and 5 in. dust control shrouds used on compatible Milwaukee angle grinders for OSHA crystalline silica dust compliance during concrete and masonry grinding operations. The bristles form the flexible perimeter seal around the bottom edge of the dust shroud that maintains contact with the work surface during grinding — the bristle contact creates the enclosed collection zone between the shroud and the work surface that allows the vacuum extraction system to capture concrete dust at the point of generation rather than allowing it to escape into the work environment. When bristles wear down from surface abrasion, become matted and lose their flexibility, or are damaged from grinding debris contact, the shroud loses its sealed perimeter contact with the work surface, and dust escapes from the gaps between the worn bristles and the concrete — reducing dust capture efficiency and compromising the OSHA Table 1 engineering control compliance the shroud is designed to support.
Milwaukee OEM replacement bristles are manufactured to the correct bristle material, density, and length for the specific shroud dimensions — the bristle contact pressure against the work surface must be sufficient to maintain an effective seal without excessive resistance that would make moving the grinder across the work surface difficult. Replacement bristles extend the service life of the shroud body significantly compared to replacing the complete shroud assembly when only the bristles are worn — providing economical maintenance of the dust control system. Always verify your specific Milwaukee grinder and shroud model compatibility at milwaukeetool.com before ordering replacement bristles.
