Pro-source 8178-B Brass Scouring Brush Wood Handle

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 8178-B is a brass-fill scouring brush designed for cleaning metal surfaces, fittings, pipe ends, and tooling in trade and light industrial applications. The brass bristles provide effective scrubbing action without the aggressive abrasion of steel, making this brush well suited for removing oxidation, flux residue, and light debris from copper, brass, and other soft-metal components. The wood handle measures 6.75 inches in overall length, giving technicians a comfortable grip during close work. At 0.25 pounds, the brush is lightweight and easy to maneuver in confined spaces.

This scouring brush is commonly used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters for prepping copper pipe and fittings before soldering or brazing. It is also useful for cleaning burner components, heat exchanger surfaces, and mechanical assemblies where a non-sparking brass fill is preferred. The compact 2.5-inch brush head fits into tight clearances typical of residential and light commercial mechanical rooms and service environments.

Installation Notes

Rinse or wipe surfaces after scouring to remove loose debris before applying flux or sealant. Inspect bristles periodically and replace the brush when fill material shows significant wear or splaying.
