Custom Cleaning Brush
Tube Brush Chimney
Tube Brush Chimney is built for bore, tube, and port where the brush must enter or follow internal walls, threads, and blind holes. Head size, working length, stem flexibility, and fill are selected to loosen chips, oil, and coolant without losing access or control.
Product Features
Strong radial contact inside flues — Bristles remove soot, ash, and creosote from the complete circumference.
Wire and polymer fill options — Steel wire handles heavy deposits while nylon suits lighter or flexible liners.
Round and custom shapes — The brush can match different chimney passages.
Rod and rope connections — Threads, loops, and pull-through fittings support different methods.
Multiple diameters maintain proper contact — Sizing avoids ineffective bypass or jamming.
Built to the flue — Diameter, shape, fill, trim, hub, thread, and rod system can be customized.
Product Overview
Tube Brush Chimney uses a working section shaped around the available opening, depth, and internal profile. It contacts internal walls, threads, and blind holes to remove chips, oil, and coolant; the access path and minimum clearance determine whether the brush needs a rigid stem, a flexible extension, a tapered head, or a stepped cleaning section. Brush diameter, working length, tip form, and stem flexibility must match the complete passage.
Key dimensions start with Brush head diameter 100–600 mm, Brush head length 80–300 mm, and Handle length 1–10 m mm. This configuration uses a tube-brush layout to reach inside bores, ports, and passages. The specified interface is threaded removable / fixed. PBT, Polypropylene PP, and Nylon PA are the principal material directions in the current specification. The stroke, guide clearance, and flexible length must be checked against the complete movement envelope.

Application Areas
Tube Brush Chimney is primarily mapped to Tube & Pipe Cleaning. Before changing the application, review the contact surface, debris removal path, and acceptable surface condition.
- Tube Brush Chimney is best suited to chimney, flue, smoke-pipe, and fireplace passage cleaning.
- The twisted-in-wire, flexible-rod, pull-through, fan-tip, or powered bore brush follows masonry, stainless, clay, or metal flue wall and cap passage while the fill displaces soot, ash, creosote, scale, and loose combustion residue.
- Use this configuration when the available access supports radial filament contact inside a bore, tube, hose, channel, nozzle, or drilled passage.
Selection Guidance
Structure fit
Match the tube & pipe bore brush geometry to internal walls, threads, and blind holes, the available access, and reciprocating motion. Confirm Brush head diameter 100–600 mm, Brush head length 80–300 mm, and Handle length 1–10 m mm against the complete working envelope before finalizing the brush.
Contact material
Choose from PBT, Polypropylene PP, and Nylon PA according to the behavior of chips, oil, and coolant, the surface sensitivity, and any wet, chemical, temperature, or hygiene requirements. Brush stiffness depends on the material plus filament diameter, free trim length, and fill density.
When to use another solution
For Tube Brush Chimney, use another cleaning method when chips, oil, and coolant cannot be released by controlled filament contact, when internal walls, threads, and blind holes cannot tolerate the selected contact material, or when the access path prevents safe engagement and residue removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
How should Tube Brush Chimney be selected?
Start with chimney, flue, smoke-pipe, and fireplace passage cleaning, masonry, stainless, clay, or metal flue wall and cap passage, and soot, ash, creosote, scale, and loose combustion residue. Then set Flue diameter, Brush head length, and Rod reach, choose the fill from the material and residue table, and match the mounting interface and operating condition.
Which dimensions define Tube Brush Chimney?
The primary dimensions are Flue diameter (100–600 mm), Brush head length (80–300 mm), and Rod reach (1–10 m). Also provide the minimum clearance, working envelope, trim or engagement, and the existing holder, shaft, stem, thread, or handle.
Which filament or contact material is used for Tube Brush Chimney?
The primary options are PBT, Polypropylene PP, and Nylon PA. The final choice follows surface sensitivity, residue adhesion, wet or dry use, temperature, chemicals, conductivity, and required cutting action.
When is Tube Brush Chimney not the best cleaning method?
Tube Brush Chimney is not the first choice for pigs, flushing, ultrasonic, chemical descaling, blasting, or a flexible cable system for long, sharply curved, or heavily scaled passages.
What information is required to quote Tube Brush Chimney?
Send the part or machine drawing, photos of masonry, stainless, clay, or metal flue wall and cap passage, Flue diameter, Brush head length, Rod reach, and Connection, the residue description, wet or dry conditions, motion or use method, temperature, preferred PBT, Polypropylene PP, and Nylon PA, quantity, and the existing interface or sample.
