Pro-source 06708 Horsehair Bristle Tube Brush 4.5x1.5 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 06708 is a single-spiral horsehair bristle tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and bores. The brush head measures 4.5 inches in length with a 1.5-inch diameter, and the assembly reaches an overall length of 40.5 inches, giving technicians extended reach into deep passages without additional extensions. The 0.004-inch filament diameter provides soft but effective contact against tube walls, making it well-suited for removing debris, scale, and residue without scoring softer surfaces. The galvanized steel shank resists corrosion in wet service environments. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe cleaners working in tight or extended tube runs will find this brush a practical bench or field tool.

This brush is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever internal tube or bore cleaning is required. Common scenarios include cleaning heat exchanger tubes, condenser tubes, drain lines, and pipe bores during maintenance or installation prep. The 40.5-inch overall length allows access through longer runs without disconnecting piping. The single-spiral construction keeps the horsehair fill evenly distributed around the bore contact surface for consistent cleaning coverage.

Designed as a general-purpose tube brush for use in standard residential and commercial tube and pipe cleaning applications where a 1.5-inch diameter brush head is required.

Installation Notes

This brush is typically used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals during cleaning and inspection procedures. Before use, confirm that the tube or bore being cleaned is isolated from system pressure and that any chemical cleaning agents are compatible with horsehair filaments. The shank can be chucked into a hand drill or attached to a compatible handle for manual use. Avoid forcing the brush through bends or restrictions tighter than the rated brush diameter to prevent filament damage or shank deformation.
