Tube Brushes
What is a copper wire pipe brush?
A copper wire pipe brush is a cleaning tool consisting of a metal brush head and a flexible handle.
The brush head is typically made of dense copper or stainless steel wire, spirally wound around a metal core. The copper wire is a key feature, as its moderate hardness allows it to effectively remove dirt without easily scratching the interior of pipes (especially valuable copper and stainless steel pipes, or those used for precision instruments).
The handle/shaft is typically a long, flexible spring steel rod that can easily navigate curved pipes. Shaft lengths range from tens of centimeters to several meters, and some can be connected to extension rods to extend the cleaning range.

Key Features and Benefits:
- Efficient Cleaning: The densely packed metal filaments powerfully remove stubborn dirt, such as rust, scale, oil, carbon deposits, and residue, adhering to pipe interiors.
- Pipe Protection: Compared to harder steel brushes, copper wire brushes are relatively soft, preserving the smooth finish of pipe interiors while cleaning, preventing deep scratches and future buildup of dirt.
- Flexibility: The spring steel shaft allows for easy access through elbows and bends, cleaning areas difficult to reach with straight pipe tools.
- Complete Range of Specifications: Available in a variety of diameters and lengths to accommodate pipes of varying sizes, from small instrument pipes to large industrial pipes.
- Good durability: high-quality copper wire and spring steel have good wear resistance and toughness and can be reused
Main Applications:
Copper wire pipe brushes have a wide range of applications, covering nearly all scenarios requiring internal pipe cleaning:
*Industrial Applications:
- Heat exchanger and condenser tube cleaning: Removes scale and deposits from heat exchange tubes, restoring heat exchange efficiency.
- Boiler pipe cleaning: Removes carbon and coke deposits from boiler pipes.
- Hydraulic and pneumatic piping: Ensures internal cleanliness during new system installation or maintenance to prevent impurities from damaging precision valves and pumps.
- Petrochemical piping: Cleans small transmission pipelines.
*Automotive and Mechanical Repair:
- Engine Cooling Water Channels: Clean scale from the radiator and engine block.
- Brake and Fuel Lines: Ensure they are unobstructed.
- Parts Cleaning: Clean bolt holes, oil channels, etc.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC):
- Cleaning copper pipes in refrigeration systems, condensate drain pipes, etc.
Daily Household Use and DIY:
- Cleaning the narrow water pipes inside water dispensers.
- Cleaning the pipes of musical instruments, such as saxophones and flutes.
- Clean hard-to-reach areas, such as straws and kettle spouts.
