A clean, bright copper surface is essential for a sound sweat joint, and this 1" copper fitting brush scours the inside of a fitting socket to remove oxidation and grime before soldering. The cylindrical wire brush fits 1" sweat fittings and spins by hand or in a drill to burnish the copper so flux and solder bond fully. Skipping this step is the most common cause of a leaking sweat joint, so a fitting brush belongs in every soldering kit. For prepping 1" copper connections, it is a small tool that makes a big difference in joint quality.
