Schaefer Brush 43224 Flue Brush 2.5 in Dia 7.5 in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43224 is a double stem, single spiral flue brush designed to clean flue passages, heat exchangers, and combustion venting tubes in residential and commercial heating systems. The brush head is constructed from tempered steel wire, providing the stiffness needed to break up and dislodge soot, scale, and debris from metal flue surfaces. At 2.5 inches in diameter with a brush length of 4.5 inches and an overall length of 7.5 inches, it is sized for standard flue pipe diameters commonly found in gas furnaces, boilers, and B-vent systems. The 1/4 inch male NPSM connection allows direct attachment to extension rods for deeper access.

This flue brush is used in routine maintenance and service calls on gas-fired furnaces, boilers, and venting assemblies where flue passages accumulate soot and oxidation over time. HVAC technicians and chimney service professionals typically deploy this brush during annual tune-ups, heat exchanger inspections, and combustion efficiency restoration procedures. The double stem construction helps maintain brush shape under repeated use, making it a practical tool for commercial service contractors handling high-volume maintenance accounts as well as residential service calls.
