Schaefer Brush 08747-12 Power Fitting Cleaning Brush

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 08747-12 is a stainless steel power fitting and cleaning brush designed for cleaning refrigeration fittings and tubing interiors. It features a 0.625-inch inside diameter with an actual brush diameter of 0.8125 inches, making it suited for use with 0.75-inch OD refrigeration tubing. The twisted wire stem measures 3.5625 inches in length with a 0.1875-inch shank diameter, allowing it to mount to a power drill or rotary tool for fast, thorough cleaning. HVAC technicians and refrigeration service pros use this brush to remove oxidation, debris, and contamination from fittings before brazing or connection work.

This brush is used in residential and commercial refrigeration and HVAC service applications where copper tubing and fittings require mechanical cleaning prior to assembly. It is especially useful during system repair or installation when fitting surfaces must be clean and free of scale to ensure proper brazing and leak-free joints. The stainless steel fill holds up to repeated use without shedding or breaking down under rotary tool speeds.
