Schaefer Brush 09749-12 Fitting Cleaning Brush 1 in Id

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 09749-12 is a stainless steel power fitting and cleaning brush designed for use with a rotary driver to clean and deburr pipe fittings, refrigeration components, and tubing connections. The brush measures 1 inch inside diameter with a 1-3/16 inch actual brush diameter, making it sized for standard 1 inch fittings. A 1/4 inch hex shaft stem allows direct chuck mounting on most power drills and drivers. Overall length is 3-1/8 inches. The stainless steel bristles resist corrosion and hold up under repeated use in both wet and dry cleaning applications. HVAC technicians and refrigeration mechanics keep this type of brush on hand for routine tube and fitting prep.

This brush is suited for refrigeration service, HVAC installation, and plumbing applications where fitting surfaces must be cleaned before soldering, brazing, or pressing. The 1 inch inside diameter targets standard copper and refrigeration fittings. The 1-1/8 inch refrigeration outside diameter spec makes it appropriate for cleaning the outside of refrigeration tubing as well. It is a single-piece tool sold individually and sized for field and shop use alike.

Installation Notes

A licensed HVAC technician or refrigeration mechanic typically uses this brush as part of fitting preparation before brazing or soldering refrigeration and HVAC lines. Ensure the system is fully recovered, depressurized, and de-energized before opening any refrigeration circuit. Mount the hex shaft into a standard 1/4 inch hex chuck power drill or driver before use. Do not exceed the rated speed of the brush or apply excessive side-load pressure during operation.
