Forney Industries 70487 Tube Brush 1-1/4 X 5 Inches

Product Description

The Forney Industries 70487 is a loop-end tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and cylindrical passages. At 15.5 inches in total length with a 1-1/4-inch brush diameter and a 5-inch brush face length, it provides reach and coverage needed for thorough bore cleaning. This type of brush is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters to remove scale, debris, and buildup from tube interiors before inspection, repair, or connection. The loop-end construction allows the brush to be pushed or pulled through tube bores without snagging.

This tube brush is suited for use in residential and light commercial applications where tube or pipe bore cleaning is required. Typical use scenarios include heat exchanger tube cleaning, condenser tube maintenance, and general pipe preparation in plumbing and HVAC service work. It is sold in a package quantity of 12 units, making it a practical choice for service shops and contractors who use tube brushes regularly across multiple jobs.

Installation Notes

Tube brushes of this type are used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters as part of standard tube maintenance and preparation procedures. Always isolate and de-energize or shut off the system being serviced before inserting tools into tube bores. Inspect the brush for worn or damaged bristles before each use and replace if the brush face no longer makes full contact with the tube wall.
