Chimney Brush Vorel W30 170 mm 72963 — chimney cleaning brush, 170 mm diameter

Chimney brush Vorel W30 170 mm (model 72963) is a rotary-type cleaning brush designed to remove soot, creosote and deposits from chimneys and flues with a 170 mm internal diameter. Intended for manual use or mounted on extension poles, the brush helps restore smooth flue surfaces, improving draft and reducing the risk of blockages in residential chimneys, wood stoves and fireplaces.

Advantages

The brush head features densely arranged bristles that provide mechanical abrasion of soot layers while keeping the brush flexible enough to follow curved flue sections. Its 170 mm diameter matches conduits of the same size to deliver effective contact with flue walls. The design allows use by hand or with pole extensions, offering reach for higher sections without requiring specialized equipment. Constructed for repeated use, the brush supports routine maintenance and safety checks of solid-fuel heating systems.

Suitable for

• Residential chimneys with a 170 mm internal diameter
• Cleaning flues of wood stoves and fireplaces
• Manual or pole-mounted rotary cleaning operations
• Routine maintenance to reduce soot and creosote buildup

Key specifications

• Brush type: rotary mechanical chimney brush
• Applicable flue diameter: 170 mm
• Head shape: circular to match round flue sections
• Bristle arrangement: dense, flexible bristles for abrasion and adaptability
• Mounting: compatible with manual handling or extension poles for higher reach
• Typical uses: soot and deposit removal from masonry and metal flues

How to use

Choose an appropriate-length extension pole if cleaning higher sections and securely attach the brush head to the pole or handle. Insert the brush into the flue from the top or bottom according to safe access and local practice, and rotate it while moving it up and down to abrade soot and deposits from the walls. After brushing, remove loosened debris from the chimney base or ash pit and inspect the flue surface for remaining buildup or damage. Follow all safety precautions for working at height and ensure the heating appliance is cool and disconnected before cleaning.

Usage recommendations

Use the brush regularly as part of a preventive maintenance schedule; frequency depends on fuel type and usage intensity. Combine mechanical brushing with visual inspection and, where required by local regulations, professional sweeping for thorough cleaning and safety verification.
