Weiler 98380 Helical Power Tube Brush Brass 5/32 Inch

Product Description

The WEILER 98380 is a helical power tube brush designed for cleaning the interior surfaces of tubes, pipes, and small-bore components. Fitted with a 5/32 inch shank diameter for use in power drills and rotary tools, this brush uses brass fill wire wound in a double spiral helical configuration. The brass fill material provides effective scrubbing action while remaining gentle enough to avoid damaging softer base materials such as copper tubing. It is well suited for plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters who need consistent bore cleaning during installation, maintenance, or inspection work. The brush weighs 0.03 pounds and ships as a single-piece unit.

This tube brush is commonly used in light-duty bore cleaning applications including copper pipe ends, condenser tubes, heat exchanger tubes, and similar small-diameter passages. The helical brush geometry ensures even contact around the full circumference of the bore as the brush rotates. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial service work where consistent tube cleanliness is required before soldering, brazing, or inspection.

Key Features

• Helical double spiral construction for full-contact bore cleaning
• Brass fill wire for effective scrubbing without aggressive abrasion on soft metals
• 5/32 inch shank diameter compatible with standard power drills and rotary tools
• Lightweight at 0.03 pounds for easy single-handed operation
• Single-piece unit — no assembly required

Compatibility

Designed for use with power drills and rotary tools accepting a 5/32 inch round shank. Suitable for cleaning small-diameter tube and pipe bores in plumbing, HVAC, and related trade applications.

Installation Notes

This brush is installed into a power drill or rotary tool chuck before use — ensure the tool is powered off and the chuck is fully secured before operation. Always wear appropriate eye protection when using rotary brushes at speed. Match the brush diameter to the bore being cleaned; using a brush significantly smaller than the bore will reduce cleaning effectiveness. Inspect the brush fill wire for wear or deformation before each use and replace if damaged.
