Schaefer Brush 14416 Wire Tube Brush 1-1/4 in 15 in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 14416 is a stainless steel long handle wire tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and bores. The brush head measures 1-1/4 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, with a 15-inch overall length that allows access into deep or hard-to-reach passages. The single-spiral fill pattern uses 0.007-inch diameter stainless steel wire for consistent scrubbing action without shedding or corrosion. A 0.188-inch diameter stainless steel shank provides rigid support during use. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipe fitters are the typical installers of this tool in maintenance and cleaning applications.

This tube brush is suited for both residential and light commercial applications where internal bore cleaning is required. Common uses include clearing scale, debris, and buildup from copper pipe fittings, heat exchanger tubes, and similar cylindrical passages. The stainless steel fill material makes it appropriate for use in wet environments or on surfaces where carbon steel wire would cause contamination or rust staining. The extended 15-inch handle reaches into confined areas without requiring additional extensions in most standard applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is a hand tool used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and maintenance professionals for manual cleaning tasks. No power tools or special fasteners are required for standard hand use; however, the shank is compatible with standard drill chucks if power operation is needed. Always ensure the bore or tube is depressurized and free of fluid flow before cleaning. Wear appropriate eye protection when using wire brushes to guard against dislodged wire bristles.
