Mill-rose 70164 Abrasive Cloth 120 Grit 1.5in X 10yd

Product Description

The MILL-ROSE 70164 is a professional-grade abrasive cloth designed for surface preparation of pipe, tubing, and fittings prior to soldering, brazing, or mechanical joining. The cloth runs 1.5 inches wide by 10 yards long, giving techs a generous working length for extended jobs without frequent restocking. The abrasive material is aluminum oxide at 120 grit, which strikes the right balance between cutting speed and surface finish for copper, brass, and other common pipe materials. Plumbers and HVAC technicians reach for this cloth when cleaning and scuffing pipe ends to ensure flux adhesion and leak-free joints.

This abrasive cloth is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications. It is commonly used to clean the outside diameter of copper pipe and the inside diameter of fittings before applying flux and soldering. The 1.5-inch width fits standard pipe sizes without excess material, and the roll format allows techs to tear off a working length quickly on the job. It is also useful for general surface prep on brass valves, steel fittings, and similar components where light abrasion is needed before assembly or coating.

Key Features

• 120-grit aluminum oxide abrasive provides consistent surface prep without over-abrading soft metals
• 1.5-inch width is sized for efficient cleaning of common copper and brass pipe ODs and fitting IDs
• 10-yard roll length reduces trips to the supply house on multi-connection jobs
• Flexible cloth backing conforms to curved pipe and fitting surfaces
• Suitable for dry use on copper, brass, and steel pipe prep work

Compatibility

Designed for general pipe and fitting surface preparation in plumbing and HVAC applications. Compatible with copper, brass, and steel pipe and tubing commonly found in residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Notes

This cloth is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians as part of standard pipe preparation before soldering or brazing. Tear off a short working length and wrap it around the pipe end or insert it into the fitting socket to abrade the mating surfaces. Always follow applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC when preparing joints for solder or press-fit connections. Wear eye protection when using abrasive products in confined spaces.
