Walter Surface Technologies 13C015 Cup Brush 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The WALTER SURFACE TECHNOLOGIES 13C015 is a crimped-wire cup brush designed for surface preparation, weld cleaning, and deburring tasks across metal fabrication, HVAC, and industrial maintenance applications. The brush features a 1.5-inch diameter carbon steel fill with a crimped configuration that delivers consistent, flexible contact on irregular surfaces. Rated to a maximum of 13,000 RPM, it mounts via an included 0.25-inch diameter shank compatible with standard rotary tools and die grinders. The wire diameter measures 0.0118 inches, providing moderate aggressiveness suited for rust removal and paint stripping without heavy stock removal.

This cup brush is used in residential and commercial maintenance environments where tradespeople need a compact, shank-mounted wire brush for spot cleaning, weld spatter removal, and surface conditioning on pipe joints, fittings, and structural components. The 1.5-inch head diameter makes it practical in tight or confined access areas where larger cup brushes cannot reach. HVAC technicians, plumbers, pipefitters, and general metal fabricators are the primary users.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tradespeople using standard rotary tools or die grinders with a 0.25-inch collet. Before mounting, confirm the tool is powered off and disconnected from its power source. Do not operate this brush above the 13,000 RPM maximum rating, as exceeding rated speed is a recognized wire brush safety hazard. Always use appropriate eye protection and follow ANSI B165.1 safety guidelines when operating wire brushes at speed.
