Schaefer Brush 43394 Double Stem Spiral Tube Brush

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43394 is a double stem spiral tube brush designed for cleaning the interior surfaces of pipes, tubes, and conduit. It features a 12-inch brush diameter and a 7-1/2-inch overall length, with a 4-1/2-inch brush and scraper length. The bristles are constructed from tempered steel wire, making the brush suited for removing scale, debris, and buildup from metal pipe interiors. A 1/4-inch male NPT connection allows attachment to standard extension rods or drill chucks. This brush is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and mechanical contractors during maintenance and cleaning operations.

This tube brush is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications where internal pipe cleaning is required. Typical use cases include boiler tube cleaning, heat exchanger service, condenser tube maintenance, and drain line clearing. The 12-inch diameter makes it suited for large-bore pipe and tube cleaning tasks where smaller brushes are insufficient. The spiral stem design helps the brush maintain contact with tube walls through the full stroke of the cleaning pass.
