Schaefer Brush 43516 Tube Brush 5/8 in Stainless Steel

Product Description

The SCHAEFER BRUSH 43516 is a double stem, single spiral tube brush built for cleaning small-diameter tubes, pipes, and bores. The stainless steel bristles and stainless steel brush construction make it suitable for use in corrosive environments or where ferrous contamination must be avoided. It measures 5/8 inches in diameter with a brush length of 4 inches and an overall length of 6-1/4 inches. The 12-24 female threaded connection allows secure attachment to compatible extension handles or threaded rods. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and maintenance professionals use this type of brush for cleaning heat exchanger tubes, condenser coils, drain lines, and threaded fittings.

This tube brush is suited for light industrial and trade service applications where a small-diameter stainless steel brush is required. The double stem construction adds rigidity and helps maintain brush shape during use. The 12-24 female connection makes it compatible with standard threaded extension handles, allowing reach into confined tube runs. Typical applications include cleaning copper tubing, small-bore metal pipe, strainer screens, and other cylindrical surfaces that accumulate scale, debris, or oxidation.

Installation Notes

Attach the brush to a 12-24 male threaded handle or rod before inserting into the tube bore.

Stainless steel bristles are not recommended for use on surfaces where metal contact may cause damage or contamination concerns.
