Pro-source 05115 Twisted Wire Bristle Brush 3in Steel

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 05115 is a steel twisted wire bristle brush designed for cleaning tubes, pipes, bores, and ports in HVAC, plumbing, and general mechanical service applications. The brush features a single spiral fill pattern with 0.008-inch steel wire filaments that provide consistent scrubbing action inside cylindrical passages. The 3-inch bristle length sits on a 0.16-inch galvanized steel shank, giving technicians a secure grip point for use with a drill or hand driver. Overall assembly length is 10 inches. This type of brush is a standard consumable in any trade service kit.

This brush is suited for residential and light commercial service work where bore cleaning, thread cleaning, or scale and debris removal is required before fitting installation or inspection. Common applications include cleaning copper tube ends, heat exchanger passages, condenser drain ports, and similar confined cylindrical surfaces. The galvanized steel shank resists corrosion during wet or damp service conditions. Installers in HVAC, plumbing, and refrigeration trades typically keep a range of these brushes on hand as part of routine prep and maintenance procedures.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service professionals during prep and cleaning operations. Always power down or de-energize any associated equipment before inserting the brush into ports or passages connected to live systems. The shank may be used with a hand drill at low speed or turned by hand depending on bore access. Inspect the bristles before each use and retire the brush if wire filaments are significantly bent, broken, or missing.
