Schaefer Brush 43338 Spiral Tube Brush 4 in 7.5 in Oal

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43338 is a double stem spiral tube brush designed for cleaning the interior surfaces of tubes, pipes, and cylindrical passages. Built with a tempered steel wire bristle construction, it delivers durable scrubbing action suited for removing scale, debris, and fouling from metal tubing. The brush measures 4 inches in diameter with a brush length of 4.5 inches and an overall length of 7.5 inches. A 0.25 inch male NPT connection allows direct threading onto standard rod extensions or cleaning equipment handles. This brush is commonly installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service professionals who perform routine tube and pipe maintenance.

The 43338 is well suited for tube cleaning applications in HVAC systems, boilers, heat exchangers, condensers, and plumbing assemblies where internal passage fouling is a service concern. The spiral double stem design provides even bristle contact around the full interior circumference of the target tube during push-pull strokes. The 0.25 inch NPT male thread makes it compatible with standard rod and extension setups used in commercial and light industrial service environments.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical service professionals. Before cleaning any tube or pipe assembly, shut off fluid flow, depressurize the system, and allow components to cool to a safe handling temperature. Thread the brush onto a compatible cleaning rod extension by hand before applying rotational or push-pull force. Inspect bristle condition before each use and replace the brush if wires are bent, broken, or excessively worn.
