The U-Bend Cleaning Assembly is designed for cleaning 3/4 to 1-1/2-inch Outer Diameter curved tubes. The stainless steel assembly is ideal for cleaning ferrous tubes, while the brass cleaning head is ideal for cleaning nonferrous tubes.
AP Brush is used after a Cutter Bit has cleaned heavily clogged tubes. The P Brush is also used with the Push Rod for manual cleaning of condensers, evaporators and fire tube boilers. These brushes can be used on PG, PGX and TP302 models. Bit Adapters are used to connect P Brushes to drill shafts.
Swing Frame Brushes are made for cleaning straight and curved tubes in large diameter pressure vessels with 3 to 21-inch Outer Diameter. They are perfect for removing light soot, mill scale and welding splatter or flash.
Carbide Burs are .005 larger than tube holes, within TEMA specifications and are available for .640 to 1.015-inch (16.3 – 25.8mm) Outer Diameter. Carbide Burs for heat exchangers feature a left hand spiral, a right hand cut and a 1/2-inch diameter shank.
Aluminum Tube Guides protect the tube end during installation and ensure accurate alignment of the tube through the baffle. Standard guides are available in seven sizes with a wide range of Gauge options and packaged in groups of 10. Other sizes and materials are available as well. Replacement nylon brushes are also available. Made-to-order sizes from 3/8″ to 3″ Outer Diameter is also available.
Thread Chasing Tools for heat exchangers are used in conjunction with packing removal tools. Thread chasing tools will remove any leftover packing material in tubesheet hole threads before re-packing is done and are available in the following threads: 7/8-16 (3-5/8 OAL, 5/8 drive square), 7/8-18 (3-5/8 OAL, 5/8 drive square), 1-16 (3-3/4 OAL, 3/4 drive square) and 1-18 (3-3/4 OAL, 3/4 drive square).
Buffing Tools are made for the final finish cleaning of 1/2 to 3-1/2-inch Outer Diameter Tubes. Sets of wires clean away debris after using an Expanding Brush or an Expanding Scraper. Replacement wire blades keep the unit affordable.
Manual Tube Cleaning Extension Rods and Handles are available in .16 to 1-1/2-inch diameter range. The available lengths are 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6-feet. Any material brush can be used. Special kits can also be made for specific applications.
Wils-Away™ Shafts and Casings are available in nylon, Teflon® and steel. Smaller diameter casings are nylon (or Teflon®, if they will be run dry) and larger casings are steel and nylon rubberised materials.
The Series 22 Expander Tools were specially designed for use in boiler rooms, boiler repair shops, railroads, Scotch Marine Boilers and for all general rolling in fire tube boilers where flaring is not required. The over-sized Series 22 model is offered for use in opening up existing tube holes. A revolving thrust collar helps eliminate jamming and its compact designs allows for working close to walls or adjacent tubes.
The Series 116 Expanders offer four expanding rolls and two flare rolls and simultaneously flare and roll an unusually fine surface with a minimum amount of indentation by the flare rolls. This flaring operation works ideally for HRT and other fire tube boilers where final beading of tube ends is the practice. This Expander’s self-retained rolls make it well-suited for use with reverse taper mandrels for far end tube expanding.
The Series 28 Expanders simultaneously flare the tube as a preliminary to beading operations. The revolving thrust collar sets the tube and is notched to clear adjacent tubes if on close centers. It works well in most HRT and other fire tube boilers. These Expanders are also popular for far end rolling when used in conjunction with reverse mandrels and extension drives. The expander range is taken at the front of the thrust collar.
