Schaefer Brush 09546-12 Power Fitting Cleaning Brush

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 09546-12 is a carbon steel power fitting and cleaning brush designed for use with rotary power tools. Built for trade use, this brush features a 1/4-inch hex shaft stem that fits standard power drill chucks and quick-change hex drivers. The inside diameter measures 0.5 inches, with an actual brush diameter of 11/16 inches, making it well suited for cleaning refrigeration fittings with a 5/8-inch outside diameter. The overall length is 3-1/8 inches. Licensed refrigeration technicians and HVAC mechanics use this tool to remove oxidation, debris, and scale from copper fittings and tubing ends before soldering or brazing.

This brush is used in residential and light commercial HVAC and refrigeration service work. It is particularly suited for preparing copper fittings and tube ends prior to soldering. The hex shaft design allows direct chucking into a standard cordless drill, speeding up fitting prep on service calls and new installations. Carbon steel bristles provide the cutting action needed to clean copper oxides from fitting surfaces without damaging the base material.

Installation Notes

Installation of this brush requires a standard cordless or corded drill or a quick-change hex driver. Before use, ensure the refrigeration system is recovered, isolated, and depressurized in accordance with applicable EPA and local refrigerant-handling regulations. Secure the hex shaft firmly in the drill chuck before operating to prevent the brush from becoming a projectile. Wear appropriate eye protection when using any rotary cleaning brush.
