Product description:
Kwalitistar's model InerLok075-A includes one 3/4-inch copper pipe cleaner and two additional brushing pieces. The 3/4-inch copper pipe cleaner features a newly-engineered internal locking mechanism that anchors the brush housing and drive shank tightly. This update improves the durability of plastic housing and reduces the likelihood of shank spinning relative to housing. The InerLok075 copper pipe cleaner is designed to clean copper / bronze / brass pipes and tubes with a diameter of 3/4-inch (nominal size 3/4”, measured OD around 7/8”). The additional brushing pieces are to replace the one installed in the cleaner when it is worn. The 1/4-inch shank on the brush fits most power drills. It cleans copper, brass, and bronze pipes and tubes for subsequent fluxing, soldering, sweating, brazing, or welding. Brush bristles are made with stainless-steel wires for effective cleaning. It is a tool for homeowners, DIYers, plumbers, and contractors, etc.
Instructions:
1. Safety first: please ensure necessary precautions & wear appropriate PPE that includes, but is not limited to, safety goggles, protective gloves, face masks, etc.
2. Use the pipe cleaning brush only on a power drill, not an impact driver. Impact driver may cause damage to the tool or parts.
3. Set the drill to run at a low speed to avoid high torques. Low speed is sufficient to effectively clean pipes / tubes.
4. Make sure the drill is set to run in the clockwise direction. The brush is not designed to run counterclockwise.
5. Align the axis of the brush and pipes / tubes while using the tool.
6. Keep the drill running while inserting the pipe / tube and removing it from the brush. Do not reverse the direction of the drill at any point during the process.
7. To replace the worn brushing pieces in the housing: Step (1), prey out the clip-on front cover. Step (2), take out the worn brushing piece. Step (3), insert a new brushing piece in the casing. Step (4), Put the clip-on front cover back.
