Wooster Brush 1147-2-1/2 Chip Brush 2.5in Hog Bristle

Product Description

The WOOSTER BRUSH 1147-2-1/2 is a 2.5-inch chip brush designed for applying paints, solvents, adhesives, and coatings in trade and industrial settings. It features natural hog bristles, which hold and release fluid evenly across a range of viscosities. The beavertail-style plastic handle measures 5 inches in length and provides a secure grip during extended use. At approximately 0.11 pounds, the brush is lightweight enough for repetitive tasks. This is a single-use or short-run brush suited for prep work, touch-ups, flux application, and similar tasks where a dedicated natural-bristle tool is required.

This chip brush is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications across multiple trades, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance. It is commonly used for applying pipe joint compound, flux, adhesives, solvents, or primers in confined or detail areas. The 2.5-inch width covers moderate surface areas without excess bulk. Painters, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance crews keep chip brushes on hand as disposable or short-cycle tools for tasks that would soil or damage a quality finishing brush.

Installation Notes

Dispose of or clean the brush promptly after use to prevent bristle degradation from prolonged chemical exposure.
