Wooster Brush 1147-3 Chip Brush 3 Inch Natural Hog Bristle

Product Description

The WOOSTER BRUSH 1147-3 is a 3-inch chip brush designed for applying paint, coatings, adhesives, and solvents in trade and maintenance applications. It features natural hog bristles mounted in a beavertail-style ferrule configuration with a plastic handle measuring 5 inches in length. The natural bristle construction holds and releases liquid coatings evenly, making it well suited for solvent-based products, oils, and varnishes. This brush is a standard single-use or limited-reuse tool commonly stocked by painting contractors, maintenance technicians, and industrial crews for surface prep and touch-up work.

The 1147-3 is used across a wide range of trade settings including HVAC equipment coating, pipe and duct insulation application, flux application in plumbing, adhesive spreading in mechanical insulation, and general maintenance painting. At 3 inches wide, it covers medium-width surfaces efficiently without the bulk of a full wall brush. Its lightweight plastic handle and compact overall length make it practical for confined spaces and detail work on equipment, conduit, and structural components.

Installation Notes

No power-down or system shutdown is required for brush use, but follow all applicable safety data sheet guidance for the coating or solvent being applied. Natural bristles are not recommended for use with water-based latex paints, as prolonged water exposure causes bristle softening and clumping. Dispose of used brushes in accordance with local regulations when solvent or chemical-laden. Standard PPE including gloves and eye protection should be worn when working with reactive or caustic coatings.
