Pro-source 08040 Stainless Steel Tube Scratch Brush Set 11 Pc

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 08040 is an 11-piece tube-style scratch brush set with stainless steel fill, designed for cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation on pipe fittings, tube ends, and threaded connections. Each brush in the set covers a different diameter, giving technicians a single kit that handles the most common pipe and tubing sizes encountered in the field. At 4 inches overall length, the brushes are compact enough for tight spaces. The stainless steel bristles resist corrosion and hold up to repeated use on metal surfaces without shedding or losing shape. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters will find this set useful for prepping joints before soldering, brazing, or applying thread sealant.

This brush set is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC work where copper, steel, or brass tubing and fittings require internal and external surface cleaning before assembly. The five trim length options — 5/16 inch, 1/4 inch, 3/8 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch — cover standard nominal pipe and tubing sizes commonly found in service and new-installation work. The compact 4-inch overall length allows use in confined mechanical spaces, wall cavities, and equipment access panels where longer tools cannot reach.

Installation Notes

Scratch brushes are typically used by plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians during joint preparation before soldering, brazing, or mechanical assembly. Always shut off and depressurize the system and allow components to cool before cleaning fitting surfaces. Use the correct brush size for the fitting or tube end to ensure full bristle contact and adequate surface prep. Inspect bristles before use and discard any brush with bent, broken, or loose fill that could contaminate the joint area.
