Chimney and Flue Cleaner Vorel 72996, 17.5 cm Diameter, 1 pc

Vorel 72996 is a manual chimney and flue cleaner with a 17.5 cm diameter cleaning head, supplied as a single unit. It is designed to remove soot, creosote deposits and loose debris from larger flues and chimneys used in household and light industrial heating systems. The tool supports routine maintenance to help restore proper draft and reduce the risk of blockages that can impair appliance performance.

Advantages

The cleaning head's 17.5 cm diameter provides coverage suitable for larger flue passages, enabling efficient contact with chimney walls during manual brushing. The single-piece design simplifies handling and storage while allowing compatibility with extension rods or standard manual shafts used for chimney maintenance. Constructed for abrasive cleaning of soot and loose deposits, the tool helps maintain airflow and can contribute to safer operation of solid-fuel heating equipment when used as part of regular maintenance.

How to use

Attach the cleaning head to a compatible manual shaft or extension rods according to the shaft manufacturer's instructions.
