SpaceVac - 200mm (8") - Pipe Brush
SpaceVac - 200mm (8") Pipe Brush (Item #SV38/8PB)
The SpaceVac 200mm (8") Pipe Brush is a specialized attachment engineered to simplify the cleaning of cylindrical and curved surfaces that are typically difficult to access. Designed to work seamlessly with SpaceVac’s innovative high-reach cleaning systems, this tool allows operators to clean overhead pipes, ducting, and conduits without the need for ladders, scaffolding, or lifts. The pipe brush features a wide 200mm cleaning surface that conforms to the shape of round objects, ensuring consistent contact and efficient dust removal across the full length of the surface. Whether in warehouses, factories, or food processing environments, this brush provides a safer and more efficient way to tackle one of the most neglected yet critical aspects of facility maintenance.
Key Benefits
- Optimized for pipes and cylindrical surfaces: The 200mm (8") wide brush provides the perfect balance of surface coverage and maneuverability, allowing operators to effectively clean curved surfaces in fewer passes.
- Compatible with 38mm SpaceVac systems: Designed to fit securely onto SpaceVac poles and hoses, ensuring stability during high-level cleaning operations.
- Safe high-reach cleaning: Enables dust and debris removal from the ground, significantly reducing risks associated with working at height.
- Durable construction: High-quality bristles are built for repeated professional use in demanding environments.
- Improved efficiency: Reduces the need for time-consuming setups such as scaffolding or lifts, saving labor costs and increasing productivity.
Why It Matters
Pipes, conduits, and ducting systems are notorious for attracting and retaining dust, cobwebs, and other airborne debris. Left unaddressed, this buildup not only creates an unsightly appearance but can also pose serious risks. In industrial settings, accumulated dust can contribute to fire hazards, while in food processing plants or sensitive environments, it can lead to contamination and hygiene issues. Traditional cleaning methods often require workers to climb ladders or install scaffolding to reach overhead pipes, exposing them to unnecessary safety risks. The SpaceVac Pipe Brush offers a smarter solution: it allows cleaning professionals to work safely from the ground while achieving a deeper and more consistent clean.
Applications
- Industrial facilities: Essential for cleaning extensive piping networks in factories and production plants.
- Warehouses: Effective at removing dust buildup from overhead pipes, beams, and conduits where debris naturally settles.
- Food processing plants: Maintains strict hygiene standards by keeping pipes free from dust and contaminants.
- HVAC systems: Perfect for cleaning ductwork and overhead ventilation systems that require routine maintenance.
Specifications
- Brush Width: 200mm (8")
- Designed for use with SpaceVac 38mm systems
- Bristles: Durable, long-lasting fibers for professional use
- Weight: Lightweight for easy handling
Installation Tips
- Attach the pipe brush securely to your 38mm SpaceVac pole or hose system.
- Align the brush head with the pipe surface for maximum contact.
- Use steady, consistent movements around the pipe, rotating slightly as needed to achieve even cleaning coverage.
Compatibility & Fit
The SpaceVac 200mm Pipe Brush is designed exclusively for use with SpaceVac 38mm high-reach cleaning systems. It is compatible with extension poles and other modular accessories, ensuring seamless integration into existing cleaning workflows.
Pro Tips
For optimal results, rotate the brush slightly as you move along the pipe. This technique ensures that the bristles contact every angle of the surface, improving dust removal and reducing the number of passes required.
Maintenance Best Practices
After each use, remove any dust or debris trapped in the bristles. Rinse with water if needed and allow to dry thoroughly before storing. Regularly inspect the bristles for wear or fraying and replace the brush as necessary to maintain peak cleaning performance.
FAQ
Q: Can this brush be used on insulated pipes?
A: Yes. The bristles are strong enough to remove dust and debris without damaging insulation materials, making it suitable for use on both bare and insulated pipes.
Q: Does it work with smaller or larger SpaceVac systems?
A: This brush is designed specifically for 38mm SpaceVac systems. Adapters may be available for other sizes, but for best performance, use with 38mm connections.
Q: How do I maintain the brush for long-term use?
A: Clean the bristles after each session, ensure they are dry before storage, and replace the brush when bristles lose their stiffness or show signs of wear.
Q: Is this suitable for cleaning ductwork as well as pipes?
A: Yes. While optimized for cylindrical surfaces like pipes, the brush can also be used effectively on ductwork and overhead conduits.
