Schaefer Brush 08549-12 Fitting Cleaning Brush 1 in Id

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 08549-12 is a carbon steel power fitting and cleaning brush designed for internal bore cleaning of pipe fittings, tube ends, and refrigeration components. The brush measures 1 inch inside diameter with an actual brush diameter of 1-3/16 inches, a 3/16-inch shank diameter, and an overall length of 3-5/8 inches. It features a twisted wire stem construction that provides rigid, centered rotation when used with a power drill or driver. The refrigeration outside diameter is 1-1/8 inches. HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and plumbers use this brush to clean and deburr tubing, fittings, and coupling interiors prior to brazing, soldering, or mechanical assembly.

This brush is suited for cleaning copper, steel, and similar tubing and fitting bores in residential and commercial HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications. It is commonly used during system installation or service to remove oxidation, flux residue, burrs, and debris from the internal mating surfaces of fittings and tube ends. The twisted wire stem allows use in a standard hand drill or drill press, speeding up prep work on repetitive fitting connections.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use fitting brush for 1-inch inside diameter pipe fittings, tube ends, and coupling bores in HVAC, refrigeration, and plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by inserting the 3/16-inch shank into a standard drill chuck before use. Always wear eye protection when operating rotary brushes under power. Ensure the fitting or tube end is secured before applying the rotating brush to prevent workpiece movement. Inspect the brush for bent or broken wires before each use and replace if damaged.
