Schaefer Brush 14444 Wire Tube Brush 3in X 3/8in 27in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 14444 is a long-handle stainless steel wire tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and bores. The brush head measures 3 inches in length with a 3/8-inch diameter, and the overall assembly extends 27 inches, giving technicians the reach needed to clean deep into tubing without awkward positioning. Wire diameter is 0.005 inches, providing fine, flexible cleaning action suited for light-to-moderate fouling, scale, and debris removal. The single-spiral fill pattern distributes bristle contact evenly around the tube wall. The 0.145-inch stainless steel shank resists corrosion and holds up in wet or chemical environments. Licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters commonly use this type of brush during maintenance and installation work.

This tube brush is well suited for use in residential and light commercial maintenance applications where stainless steel fill material is required to prevent contamination or corrosion in service environments. Typical uses include cleaning copper, stainless steel, and similar tubing during heat exchanger service, boiler maintenance, condenser tube cleaning, and general pipe interior preparation. The extended 27-inch overall length makes it practical for reaching into assemblies where short-handle brushes cannot access the full tube depth. The 3/8-inch brush diameter targets common small-bore tubing sizes found across HVAC and plumbing systems.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style long-handle wire tube brush suitable for cleaning tubes and bores with an interior diameter of approximately 3/8 inch across a range of HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is used by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters during routine maintenance and installation procedures. Always depressurize and drain the system before inserting any cleaning tool into live piping or tubing. Insert the brush with steady, controlled strokes to avoid bending the shank or dislodging bristles inside the tube. Dispose of any debris cleared from the tube interior before returning the system to service.
