Schaefer Brush 43226 Flue Brush 2-3/4 in Dia 7-1/2 in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43226 is a double stem, single spiral flue brush designed for cleaning flue passages, heat exchanger flues, and combustion venting in residential and light commercial heating systems. The brush measures 2-3/4 inches in diameter with a 4-1/2 inch brush length and a 7-1/2 inch overall length. Tempered steel wire construction provides durable, effective scrubbing action against carbon deposits, soot, and scale inside flue tubes and venting passages. A 1/4 inch NPSM male connection allows attachment to standard extension rods for deeper reach into flue runs.

This flue brush is suited for use during routine maintenance on gas and oil-fired furnaces, boilers, and water heaters where flue tube cleaning is required. HVAC technicians and heating service professionals use this type of brush during annual combustion system inspections, heat exchanger cleanings, and pre-season tune-ups. The double stem design provides added rigidity and consistent spiral contact along the full brush length, making it effective in straight-run flue tubes.
