Chimney Brush Vorel K120 180 mm (model 72948) for flue cleaning

The Vorel chimney brush K120 with a 180 mm brush head (model 72948) is a manual tool designed for cleaning soot and deposits from round or slightly oval flues. Built for routine maintenance of heating systems, wood stoves and fireplaces, this brush helps restore draft efficiency and reduces the risk of blockages caused by accumulated creosote and ash. The compact 180 mm head size makes it suitable for smaller flue passages while allowing effective contact with the flue surface.

Advantages

The brush features dense, heat-resistant bristles arranged to remove soot and loose deposits from flue walls without damaging the lining when used appropriately. Its construction supports manual sweeping with extension rods or handles, offering precise control over pressure and movement. The rounded head profile adapts to slightly oval ducts and delivers even cleaning across the circumference of the flue.

Suitable for

• Routine cleaning of domestic chimneys and stovepipes
• Maintenance of wood-burning stoves and fireplaces
• Clearing loose soot and light creosote build-up in smaller flues
• Use with manual extension rods or compatible chimney cleaning handles

Key specifications

• Brush head diameter: 180 mm
• Shape: rounded head for circular or slightly oval flues
• Bristle type: dense, heat-resistant filaments for soot removal
• Intended use: manual flue and chimney sweeping

How to use

Attach the 180 mm brush head securely to a compatible manual extension rod or handle before starting. Insert the brush into the chimney or stovepipe and move it up and down with steady, controlled strokes to dislodge soot and deposits. Work methodically across the full length of the accessible flue, periodically withdrawing the brush to remove collected debris. After sweeping, inspect the flue and remove loose ash and soot from the hearth and appliance to prevent re-entry.
