FAQs
Does this include the drain rods?
No, this is a replacement brush head only. You must provide your own compatible drain rod set.
Can this be used for dryer vents?
Yes, it is designed for both chimney and dryer duct cleaning.
How do I know if this fits my rod set?
The brush features a standard fitting compatible with most universal drain rod systems commonly sold in hardware stores.
How often should I clean my chimney?
Frequency depends on usage, but most professionals recommend at least once a year or whenever buildup exceeds 3mm.
Is the brush material safe for stainless steel liners?
This brush is designed for standard cleaning, but ensure the bristles are not too aggressive for your specific liner type; consult your fireplace manufacturer's guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Brush head becomes detached during cleaning
Ensure the threaded connection is tightened securely before use and consider using a locking pin or thread locker if the fit is loose.
Brush is difficult to pass through the chimney
Check for bends in the flue or obstructions. If the flue is 400mm or narrower, the brush may be too large; verify your flue diameter before proceeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the brush, simply screw the threaded base of the brush head into your existing drain rod connection. Ensure the connection is tight before beginning any work to avoid losing the head inside the chimney. This product is compatible with standard drain rod systems featuring universal fittings. To care for your brush, rinse it thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent after each use to remove acidic soot or oils. Allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing it to prevent bristle degradation or corrosion on the metal base.
