Value Collection 83100060 Helical Steel Tube Brush

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 83100060 is a helical steel tube brush designed for cleaning the interior of tubes, pipes, and bores. The double spiral construction keeps the steel filaments in firm contact with the tube wall, delivering consistent scrubbing action throughout the stroke. At 0.008 inch filament diameter, the wire is stiff enough to remove scale, deposits, and debris without collapsing under load. The brush measures 2-23/64 inches in brush length with a 4 inch overall length (OAL) and a 3/8 inch brush diameter. A 3/16-24 female shank thread allows connection to standard extension rods and power drill adapters. This tool is used by plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters wherever tube ID cleaning is part of routine maintenance or installation prep.

This tube brush is well suited for cleaning copper, steel, and similar-diameter tubing commonly found in HVAC coil headers, heat exchangers, boiler tubes, and plumbing assemblies. The 3/8 inch diameter targets small-bore tube IDs typically encountered in residential and light commercial system work. The female shank thread accepts standard rod extensions, making it usable for both hand operation and low-speed power tool applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed and used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and pipefitters performing tube cleaning during maintenance or system installation. Ensure the system is depressurized and the tube section is isolated before inserting the brush. Connect the female shank to a compatible threaded rod extension or drill adapter before use; do not force the brush into a tube smaller than the rated diameter. When using with a power drill, operate at low speed to avoid filament damage or brush distortion.
