Weiler 98379 Helical Power Tube Brush Stainless Steel

Product Description

The WEILER 98379 is a helical power tube brush designed for cleaning, deburring, and surface preparation inside tubes, pipes, and bores. The brush features a double spiral construction with stainless steel fill, making it well-suited for applications where corrosion resistance and aggressive scrubbing action are required. The 1/4 inch shank diameter allows it to chuck directly into standard drills and rotary power tools. Installers and fabricators working in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical trades use this type of brush to clean interior pipe surfaces before fitting assembly or inspection.

This brush is commonly used in maintenance, fabrication, and installation settings where tube and pipe interior surfaces require mechanical cleaning. Typical applications include removing oxidation, scale, flux residue, and light debris from the inside of metal pipe and tubing. The stainless steel fill holds up against ferrous and non-ferrous metals without introducing contamination from carbon steel bristles, making it appropriate for use on stainless steel pipe, copper, and other corrosion-sensitive materials.

Key Features

• Helical double spiral design provides consistent contact and thorough cleaning along the full interior bore
• Stainless steel fill resists corrosion and is safe for use on stainless, copper, and similar materials
• 1/4 inch shank diameter fits standard drill chucks and rotary tool collets
• Compact, single-piece construction suited for portable power tool use in the field
• Sold individually for single-unit purchasing flexibility

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard rotary power tools and drills accepting a 1/4 inch round shank. Compatible with ferrous and non-ferrous metal tube and pipe interior cleaning applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed by inserting the 1/4 inch shank into a standard drill chuck or rotary tool collet and tightening securely before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection and work gloves when operating power brushes, as wire bristle fragments can become projectiles. Ensure the workpiece is secure before introducing the rotating brush into any tube or bore. Inspect the brush for broken or splayed fill wires before each use and replace if damaged.
