Bottle brush design manufacturing from GordonBrush

Bottle Brush

A bottle brush or twisted in wire brush is known by many names, such as spiral, tube, flue, pipe, boiler or power brushes. They all represent the same brush construction. In essence, a piece of wire is doubled over and bristle material is inserted between the fold of the wire stem. The wire stem is then twisted into a brush. Ends of the brush can vary, depending on your needs. For example, a bottle brush can have a cut tip, rounded tip or bristled tip. It can have a long end or handle, a short end, one with a ring, loop or cut.

Typically the bristle material is located at one end of the bottle brush, and the handle extends from it. However, the bristle can be centered in the wire, with two long ends, one on each side.

The bristle material we put in bottle brushes ranges from metal, such as stainless steel or brass, to synthetic, such as nylon, polypropylene, or Teflon, to natural materials, such as horse hair or hog bristle. Various other bristle materials are available. Give us a call a 1-800-950-7950 or 1-323-724-7777 for a free quote on
