Schaefer Brush 14658 Brass Wire Tube Brush 1.5 in Single Spiral

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 14658 is a single-spiral brass wire tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and bores. The brush head measures 1.5 inches in diameter and 3 inches in length, mounted on a long handle that brings the overall length to 27 inches. The fill and shank material are both brass, making it well suited for applications where steel wire could cause contamination or corrosion concerns. Wire diameter is 0.008 inches, providing a fine, flexible bristle action. A 0.188-inch diameter brass shank connects the brush to the handle. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and general maintenance trades use this tool to clear fouling, scale, and debris from tubular components.

This brush is appropriate for residential and light commercial maintenance tasks where internal tube surfaces need to be cleaned or prepped. It is commonly used in HVAC coil tube maintenance, refrigeration service, plumbing pipe cleaning, and heat exchanger servicing. The 27-inch overall length gives the technician reach into deep tube sections without requiring extensions. The single-spiral configuration delivers consistent bristle contact along the tube wall during insertion and rotation.

Installation Notes

This brush is a hand-operated or drill-driven cleaning tool typically used by HVAC technicians and plumbers during system maintenance or repair. Before use, ensure the tube or pipe section is depressurized and free of refrigerant, fluid, or gas. Inspect the brush for bent or broken wires before each use to prevent debris from entering the system. The shank can be chucked into a hand drill for rotary cleaning when manual rotation is not practical.
