Pro-source 08031 Stainless Steel Tube Scratch Brush Set 5pc

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 08031 is a five-piece tube scratch brush set designed for cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation inside tubes, pipes, and bores. Each brush in the set features stainless steel fill, making them suitable for use on ferrous and non-ferrous metals, as well as applications where brass or carbon steel bristles would cause contamination. The set covers five trim lengths — 0.04, 0.047, 0.06, 0.072, and 0.093 inches — giving technicians and tradespeople the range needed to tackle different tube diameters in a single kit. Overall length for each brush is 4 inches. These brushes are commonly used by HVAC techs, plumbers, and pipefitters during fitting prep and inspection work.

Tube scratch brushes of this type are used in residential and light commercial applications wherever tube interiors require mechanical cleaning before soldering, brazing, or inspection. Typical scenarios include preparing copper or stainless tubing ends before flux application and soldering, cleaning heat exchanger tubes, or removing scale and oxidation from small-bore pipe fittings. The stainless steel bristle fill resists corrosion during wet or chemical environments and will not leave carbon or brass deposits on the work surface.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tube scratch brush set suitable for use on copper, stainless steel, and other metal tubing in plumbing, HVAC, and pipefitting applications.

Installation Notes

Tube scratch brushes are used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters during tube and fitting preparation. Always de-energize and isolate any system before performing mechanical cleaning on installed piping. Wear appropriate eye protection when using wire brushes, as bristles can shed under load. Inspect bristles before each use and replace the brush if fill is bent, missing, or excessively worn.
