    Electric Tube Cleaners

    Force out tough tube blockages with these powered cleaners. Pair the tube cleaner with a flexible shaft and then attach a brush or scraper to the shaft (each component sold separately). Water flows past the shaft to flush out loosened deposits. To power the cleaner, connect a three-prong (NEMA 5-15) extension cord.

    Clean rust and lime deposits such as calcium and scale from HVAC systems, coolers, tools, and vehicles. These removers are nonabrasive and noncorrosive, so they won’t damage surfaces. Derived from plants, they don’t contain toxic chemicals such as bleach, ammonia, alcohol, or phosphates. These removers break down quickly, so they won’t pollute air and water. They’re NSF registered for use in food- and beverage-processing facilities, and meet the EPA Safer Choice standard for environmentally friendly ingredients. They also help you meet LEED Green Building standards.

    Air-Powered Tube Cleaners

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Tube Cleaners. Air-Powered Tube Cleaners.
    Launch foam cylinders through hose and tubing to power away dirt and deposits. Unlike cleaners with brushes, these work on flexible, curved, and coiled tubing as well as those with fittings, valves, and 90° bends. Connect the gun to your compressed air with the included quick-disconnect fitting. Attach a nozzle and load a cylinder that matches your tube ID, and then insert the nozzle into your tube and pull the trigger. To thoroughly clean the tubing, you may have to use a second cylinder. Cylinders are single use.
    Gun and Nozzle Kits
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tube Cleaners. Air-Powered Tube Cleaners, Gun and Nozzle Kits.
    Gun and nozzle kits include a gun and nine nozzles for the following tube IDs: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 1", 1 1/4", 1 1/2", and 2". The cylinders are not included.
