Forney Industries 72760 Stringer Bead Wire Wheel Brush 4 in

Product Description

The Forney Industries 72760 is a 4-inch stringer bead twist knot wire wheel brush designed for cleaning pipe welds between passes and other applications where a narrow brush face is required. The extra-narrow profile allows the brush to reach into tight weld joints and confined spaces where standard wheel brushes cannot fit. Built with a twist knot wire configuration and a 0.012-inch wire diameter, it delivers aggressive cleaning action while maintaining control. The 5/8-inch-11 arbor fits standard angle grinders commonly used in welding and fabrication shops. This brush is a tool for welders, pipefitters, and fabricators who need consistent interpass weld cleaning.

This brush is suited for residential and commercial pipe welding applications, including structural fabrication, process piping, and general weld preparation or cleanup work. Its extra-narrow face makes it especially useful when cleaning root and fill passes in pipe groove welds, where brush access is limited by the weld joint geometry. Fabricators working with carbon steel pipe and structural members will find it a practical fit for interpass cleaning between SMAW, FCAW, or GMAW passes. It is sold in a package of 5 units.

Installation Notes

Mounting and use of wire wheel brushes should be performed by qualified welders or fabricators familiar with grinder safety practices. Always disconnect or power down the grinder before mounting or removing the brush. Verify that the grinder RPM rating meets or exceeds the maximum rated RPM of the brush before operation. Wear appropriate PPE including face shield and gloves when operating wire wheel brushes, as wire fragments can become projectiles during use.
