This 1/2" copper fitting brush cleans the inside of 1/2" sweat fitting sockets, the most common size in residential and light-commercial copper plumbing, so flux and solder bond to bright, oxide-free copper. The cylindrical wire brush scours the socket by hand or in a drill to remove the dull oxidation and grime that cause leaking joints. Because 1/2" fittings make up the bulk of supply-line soldering, this brush gets constant use on install and repair work. For prepping 1/2" copper connections, it is an everyday soldering-kit essential.
