Chimney Brush No name WYC 50 — steel wire, 50 mm diameter

Chimney Brush No name WYC 50 is a narrow-diameter flue brush with steel wire bristles and a 50 mm cleaning head. Designed for removing soot, creosote and other combustion residues from small stovepipes, ducts and narrow chimneys, the brush provides mechanical scrubbing action to restore airflow and reduce buildup. The steel-wire construction offers firm contact with the flue surface and withstands repeated use during routine maintenance or professional cleaning tasks.

Advantages

The steel wire bristles deliver aggressive scrubbing power to dislodge stubborn soot and deposits that softer brushes may leave behind. Its 50 mm diameter makes it suitable for narrow flues and stovepipe sections where larger brushes cannot reach. The brush head is built for durability and repeated mechanical use, providing stable performance for scheduled cleaning and intensive maintenance cycles.

Suitable for

• Cleaning narrow chimney flues and stovepipes with a 50 mm internal diameter
• Removing soot and light to moderate creosote from small ducts
• Routine maintenance of domestic wood-burning stoves and pellet stoves with compatible pipe sizes
• Professional service tasks requiring a compact, steel-wire brush for confined sections

Key specifications

• Bristle material: steel wire
• Brush diameter: 50 mm
• Head type: round, flexible mounting for insertion into narrow flues
• Intended use: mechanical removal of soot and combustion residues
• Construction: durable metal bristles suitable for repeated mechanical cleaning

How to use

Insert the brush head into the flue or stovepipe section to be cleaned and move it back and forth with moderate pressure to mechanically dislodge soot and deposits. For longer runs, attach compatible extension rods and advance the brush progressively while rotating slightly to increase contact with the flue walls. After brushing, remove loosened debris with a vacuum or brush out from the chimney base, and inspect the flue visually or with a camera if accessible. Follow applicable safety procedures for working at height and ensure the appliance is cool and not in operation before starting.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective equipment such as gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when cleaning. Avoid applying excessive force that could damage fragile liners; select a softer-bristled tool for delicate or deteriorated flue liners. Perform periodic inspections and combine mechanical cleaning with professional flue inspections when creosote buildup is significant.
