Schaefer Brush 14414 Wire Tube Brush 3x1 Inch Ss

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 14414 is a single-spiral, long-handle wire tube brush constructed with stainless steel fill and a stainless steel shank. The brush head measures 3 inches in length with a 1-inch diameter, and the tool reaches an overall length of 15 inches for extended access into deep bores, tubes, and ports. Wire diameter is 0.007 inches, providing firm but controlled scrubbing action without aggressive material removal. The 0.188-inch shank diameter is sized for use with standard drill chucks or hand-drive applications. Licensed technicians and service professionals in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical trades rely on this type of brush for cleaning heat exchanger tubes, pipe interiors, and threaded fittings.

This tube brush is well-suited for cleaning internal passages in copper, steel, or stainless tubing found in residential and light commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include deburring and scale removal inside condenser and evaporator tubes, cleaning boiler fire tubes, clearing pipe threads before fitting assembly, and general bore maintenance on small-diameter tubing. The 15-inch overall length allows the brush to reach deep into assemblies without the need for extensions in most service scenarios.

Key Features

• Single-spiral construction provides consistent contact along the full 3-inch brush length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-service tube brush for 1-inch interior bore cleaning applications in HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical maintenance work.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters during routine maintenance or repair procedures. Always shut off and de-energize or depressurize the system before inserting any cleaning tool into a tube or port. When used with a power drill, operate at low RPM to maintain control and prevent wire fatigue or breakage inside the bore. Follow applicable OSHA hand and eye protection requirements when using wire brushes.
