Tube brushes are for tubes or cylinders and are not what some engineers like to call a bottle brush. These are cleaning tools and are available in almost any size of wire in carbon steel, stainless steel or nylon, etc. They come in almost any length of handle, with ring handles or loop handles, whichever fits your particular operation and is easier for your operator to use. It is easy to engineer this brush type to your particular job, saving you time and labor. One of the greatest fallacies is that you need one that is grossly oversized, or it is not going to clean well. Remember that the tips of the brush are the cutting tools even in a tube brush. Another great fallacy is the preference of a very long brush part. We list them in the catalog as balanced brush, because usually only the first third or half of the brush does the cleaning. A long brush part will only give you a tool which creates a lot of friction and, therefore, is very difficult to use. In this particular area brush terminology is very simple. Everybody in the world knows what a 2 x 4 is and to order, specify a 2 x 4 eight feet long in fir, for example.
