Pro-source 05096 Twisted Wire Bristle Brush Stainless Steel

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 05096 is a twisted wire bristle brush designed for cleaning bores, ports, tubes, and threaded passages in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service work. The stainless steel fill material resists corrosion and holds up to repeated use in wet or caustic environments. The brush measures 2.5 inches in working length with an 0.6875-inch diameter, and the single spiral configuration provides consistent contact across the bore surface. Wire diameter is 0.008 inches, giving a firm yet flexible scrubbing action suited for removing scale, flux residue, and debris from metal surfaces. A galvanized steel shank with a 0.142-inch diameter fits standard rotary tool chucks and drill presses.

This brush is well suited for cleaning pipe fittings, valve seats, burner ports, heat exchanger tubes, and similar small-diameter passages encountered in residential and light commercial HVAC and plumbing service. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians and plumbers during maintenance, repair, and installation tasks where a clean mating surface is required before soldering, brazing, or assembly. The 9-inch overall length allows reach into recessed or confined areas without requiring full disassembly of the surrounding system.

Installation Notes

This brush is intended for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service professionals. Secure the galvanized steel shank in a drill chuck or rotary tool before use, and verify the chuck opening accommodates the 0.142-inch shank diameter. Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating a rotary brush. Shut off and isolate any system component before cleaning internal passages to prevent debris from entering live system flow paths.
