Value Collection ER3651618M Tube Brush Extension Rod 36in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION ER3651618M is a tube brush extension rod designed to extend the reach of compatible tube brushes when cleaning heat exchanger tubes, boiler tubes, condenser tubes, and similar cylindrical passages. The rod measures 36 inches in overall length with a 1/4 inch rod diameter and terminates in a 5/16-18 male threaded connection for secure attachment to brush heads or additional extension rods. At 1 pound, it is lightweight enough for overhead or confined-space cleaning work. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and industrial maintenance professionals use this type of extension rod to access tube banks that cannot be reached with a brush alone.

This extension rod is suited for residential and commercial applications where tube and pipe cleaning is part of routine preventive maintenance or system servicing. Typical uses include cleaning finned-tube heat exchangers, shell-and-tube condensers, boiler fire tubes, and drain lines. The 5/16-18 male thread is a common standard that allows the rod to connect with most compatible tube brush assemblies and additional extension segments when greater reach is needed.

Key Features

• 36 inches overall length for extended reach into tube bundles and long passages
• 1/4 inch rod diameter provides a slim profile to fit inside narrow tube openings
• 5/16-18 male thread for compatibility with standard brush heads and extension rod couplings
• Lightweight 1 pound construction reduces fatigue during extended cleaning work
• Single-piece rod design with no moving parts for reliable, straightforward use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use extension rod for tube brush systems that accept a 5/16-18 male threaded connection.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this extension rod is typically performed by HVAC technicians, plumbers, or maintenance mechanics during equipment servicing. Before cleaning any tube bundle or heat exchanger, shut down and lock out the associated equipment per applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Ensure the brush head is securely threaded onto the extension rod before inserting it into a tube to prevent the connection from loosening during use. Do not force the rod through tubes with significant blockages that resist normal hand pressure, as this may damage the tube wall or deform the rod.
