Schaefer Brush 43282 Flue Brush 1-3/4 in Dia 7-1/2 in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43282 is an extra heavy filled double stem, single spiral flue brush designed for cleaning flue passages, heat exchangers, and combustion venting components. Built with tempered steel wire fill, it delivers aggressive scrubbing action to remove carbon deposits, soot, and scale from metal flue surfaces. The brush measures 1-3/4 inches in diameter with a 4-1/2 inch brush length and a 7-1/2 inch overall length. A 3/8 inch NPSM male connection allows attachment to standard extension rods for deep flue access. HVAC technicians and combustion appliance service pros are the primary users of this tool.

This flue brush is suited for residential and light commercial service work involving gas furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and other appliances with round flue passages close to 1-3/4 inches in diameter. It is commonly used during annual maintenance and combustion efficiency inspections where flue tube cleaning is required. The tempered steel wire construction makes it appropriate for metal flue surfaces and heat exchanger passages where firm bristle contact is needed to dislodge baked-on deposits.
