Threaded-Shank Low-Scratch Tube Brushes
Nylon Bristles, 8" Brush Dia. and Larger
Tampico Bristles
Attach the shank to a handle or power tool. Use these brushes to clean delicate surfaces inside tubes, pipes, and holes. The bristles won't leave behind debris that could cause rust on your workpiece.
Tampico and cotton bristles are good for sweeping away dust or applying lubricants and polishing compounds.
Nylon bristles are recommended for use around acids and alkalies.

Low-Scratch Tube Scrapers
Coiled Flat Wire
Spiral Blade
Break down tube buildup without scratching. These sharp, rigid scrapers are for soft and hard deposits.
Spiral-blade scrapers are self-sharpening and use spring tension to exert pressure.

Electric Tube Cleaners
Force out tough tube blockages with these powered cleaners. Pair the tube cleaner with a flexible shaft and then attach a brush or scraper to the shaft (each component sold separately). Water flows past the shaft to flush out loosened deposits. To power the cleaner, connect a three-prong (NEMA 5-15) extension cord.
Brushes remove soft deposits and light scale. The bristles won’t leave behind debris that could cause rust on your workpiece. Match the brush diameter to your tube ID.
Scrapers remove light-to-medium deposits.
Flexible shaft with adapters connects to brushes with 8-32 and 12-24 female threads. Not for use with scrapers.
