Selecting the right option
Choose the diameter to suit the inside of the tube, and the thread to suit your rod or drill fitting: 3/16 in BSW on the smaller sizes and 5/16 in BSW from 13 mm up. Fit the brush to a drill chuck only at extremely low speed, below 80 rpm: the brush will bend or snap at higher speeds. Condenser tube brushes are often pulled through a pipe on fishing line or similar. Wear eye protection and gloves when brushing, because wire can break off during use.
