Chimney Brush Vorel W60 170 mm model 72966 — chimney cleaning brush 170mm

The Chimney Brush Vorel W60 170 mm (model 72966) is a rotary-style cleaning brush developed for removing soot, creosote and other deposits from chimneys and flue pipes with a 170 mm internal diameter. Designed for both manual and machine-assisted use, the brush helps restore proper draft and contributes to safer, more efficient operation of residential chimneys and stove flues. The construction combines durable bristles with a stable core to provide consistent contact with the flue surface while resisting wear during repeated use.

Advantages

The brush provides effective mechanical removal of soot and loose deposits without introducing chemicals. Its rotary-style design allows more uniform scrubbing of the chimney wall compared with straight brushes, improving cleaning coverage. The 170 mm diameter fits flues of the same size, ensuring proper friction and contact for efficient deposit removal. The brush is compatible with manual rod systems or power drives, giving flexibility for different maintenance setups.

Suitable for

• Routine cleaning of residential chimney flues and stove pipes with 170 mm diameter
• Removal of soot and loose creosote deposits prior to professional inspections or sweeping
• Machine-assisted chimney maintenance using compatible rotary drive tools
• Manual sweeping with extension rods for confined or hard-to-access sections

Key specifications

• Brush type: rotary-style chimney brush
• Nominal cleaning diameter: 170 mm
• Bristle material: durable synthetic or mixed bristles suitable for soot removal
• Core construction: reinforced central core for stable rotation
• Compatibility: designed for use with manual rod systems and common rotary drive tools

How to use

Attach the brush to a compatible extension rod or rotary drive according to the tool manufacturer’s instructions. Begin cleaning from the lowest accessible point and work upward in controlled passes, or follow the recommended direction for your rotary tool. Apply steady, moderate pressure to maintain contact between the bristles and the flue wall without forcing the brush. Periodically withdraw the brush to remove accumulated soot and inspect progress. After sweeping, remove loose debris from the appliance and flue base and perform a visual check for remaining deposits.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection and a dust mask, when sweeping chimneys. Ensure the heating appliance is cold and the flue is not in use during cleaning. For heavy or hardened creosote, consider repeated light passes or consult a professional chimney sweep. Store the brush dry and protected from deformation to preserve bristle shape and effectiveness.
