How to use

To use the SIT chimney scrubbing brush, securely attach it to a compatible M12 extension rod system. Insert the brush into the chimney flue from the top or bottom, depending on your system's accessibility.

Ensure that you wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and a mask, to avoid contact with soot and dust during the cleaning process.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the internal diameter of your chimney flue matches the 150 mm brush size
• Ensure your existing extension rods are compatible with the M12 thread
• Check local regulations regarding chimney maintenance requirements

Usage recommendations

Regular cleaning is essential for fire safety; inspect your chimney at least once per heating season or more frequently if you use the system daily. Always ensure the heating system is completely cooled down before starting the cleaning process.
