How the Six-in-One Tube Brush Works
The appropriate cleaning surface is used depending on whether the inside of a fitting or outside of a tube needs to be prepared. Rotating the tool against the work surface helps remove oxidation, residue, and surface buildup.
After tubing is cut, the integrated deburring function can be used to remove internal burrs from the tube end. This helps prepare the tubing for proper fitting insertion and joining.
After cleaning and deburring, inspect the tubing and fitting surfaces and complete any additional preparation required by the fitting, solder, flux, or joining-system manufacturer.
Why Use a Multi-Function Tube Brush?
Fewer Separate Tools
Combining tube cleaning, fitting cleaning, and deburring functions helps reduce the number of individual preparation tools that need to be carried to the job.
Faster Jobsite Preparation
Keeping several common preparation functions in one tool can make it easier to move from cutting to cleaning and deburring during routine plumbing work.
Using the Six-in-One Tube Brush
- Identify the tube or fitting surface that requires preparation.
- Select the appropriate cleaning section of the tool.
- Rotate the brush against the surface to remove oxidation and unwanted buildup.
- Remove loose debris after brushing.
- Use the integrated reaming or deburring feature on freshly cut tubing as required.
