Optional: add an additional brush head to clean your clothes dryer ducts (not recommended for foil ducts)

PLEASE NOTE – this Kit is NOT suitable for cleaning Coffee Roaster Flues, as the creosote build up from Coffee Roasters is heavier.  Please click here for more information or check our FAQ page

Why Regular Flue Cleaning is Important

  1. Reduces Fire Hazards
    • Creosote, a byproduct of burning wood, is highly flammable. If it builds up inside the flue, it can ignite, causing a chimney fire. Regular cleaning helps remove these deposits and lower the risk.
  2. Improves Air Quality
    • A clogged flue can cause smoke and gases, including carbon monoxide, to backdraft into your home. Keeping it clean ensures proper ventilation and a safer indoor environment.
  3. Enhances Heating Efficiency
    • A clean flue allows smoke and gases to exit freely, improving airflow and ensuring a better burn. This means more heat for your home and less fuel waste.

(Mounting Bracket is NOT included, refer our other Kits).

This is a DIY installation.

There is no “one size fits all” solution.  You will need to source an appropriate metal fitting bracket based on your own towing vehicle.

ROCK OFF® Towing Brush Strip Key Features:

Your goods comes with:

  • 1 x ROCK OFF® Towing Brush Strip. (max. width 2400mm, can be cut to your desired overall vehicle or caravan/trailer width)

Why choose ROCK OFF® Towing Brush Strip:

  • Helps to prevent rock and stone kick-up from your vehicle wheels.  Protect the front of your caravan, camper trailer, boat or other towed vehicle
  • Minimises rock bounce-back, protecting against damage to the rear window of your vehicle
  • Great for helping to protect your pipework, suspension, tanks and spare tyre under your caravan or camper trailer. Particularly when travelling on the rugged open roads of the Aussie outback.

1.How to order the correct kit length:

  • Measure your vehicle from outside wheel to outside wheel

ROCK OFF® can be used in conjunction with most common caravan/trailer chains and electrical fittings.  This allows you to maintain full brush coverage across the entire width of your towing vehicle.

  • 1500mm – suitable for Vehicles and caravans
  • 1750mm – suitable for vehicles like Mitsubishi Triton Ute
  • 1850mm – suitable for vehicles like Mazda BT50, Ford Ranger, Toyota Prado
  • 1950mm – suitable for vehicles like Toyota Landcruiser Series 200
  • 2200mm – suitable for Dodge RAM or under caravan protection
  • 2400mm – suitable for under caravan protection

(Other sizes available as Special Order, please Contact Us for more detail)

2.How to determine your ideal bristle length:

  • Always measure when your vehicle is fully loaded
  • Your bristle length should be at least 150mm shorter than the distance from the top of your mounting point to the road
  • Measure the distance between the top of the mounting point on your vehicle and the road
  • Deduct at least 100mm for road clearance, and a further 50mm for the brush backing and rails. That totals 150mm
  • For example, if your total distance from mounting point to the road surface is 400mm, then you will need a bristle length of 250mm
  • TIP – you are better to use spacers or packers to drop the brush down. This will be easier than to purchase a longer bristle length and try to trim the bristle!!)

Available bristle lengths:

  • 150mm (suits mounting height of 300mm or more)
  • 200mm (suits mounting height of 350mm or more)
  • 250mm (suits mounting height of 400mm or more)
  • 300mm (suits mounting height of 450mm or more)
  • 350mm (suits mounting height of 500mm or more)
  • 400mm (suits mounting height of 550mm or more)

EXHAUST KIT OPTIONS AVAILABLE NOW

NOTE: ROCK OFF® Towing Brush Strip is a Polypropylene (plastic) construction. Your brush must be mounted well clear of your exhaust pipe to avoid damage. Heat from the exhaust pipe and hot fumes can distort the bristles.

For best results, mount the brush under the exhaust or behind the exhaust. Please also consider converting your exhaust to side pipes to ensure full clearance of exhaust fumes away from the vehicle.

Have an exhaust pipe in the way? Check out these solutions:

Straight exhaust pipes:

Straight pipes are ideal and do not typically require an Exhaust Kit option. This applies to straight exhaust pipes either above the brush mounting area, or for side pipes facing away from the mounting.

Angled exhaust pipes (within 150mm of brush mounting are):

For pipes angled downwards and within 150mm of the brush mounting area, choose our Exhaust Shield Plate.  This fitting has a stainless steel open shield plate to be fitted in front of your exhaust pipe. Then exhaust heat and fumes are drawn into the open area and away from your vehicle. Your Towing Brush Strip bristles are individually stapled. This means individual tufts can be removed with pliers to accommodate fitting. The Exhaust Shield Plate fits over the Stainless Steel Rails and in front of your exhaust pipe. Your Exhaust Shield Plate is fitted with a smaller piece of Towing Brush Strip to cover the gap under the plate.

Angled Exhaust Pipes (150-500mm from brush mounting area):

For exhaust pipes angled downwards and located between 150mm and 500mm (max) away from the brush mounting area, choose the Exhaust Extension Kit. Your Exhaust Extension Kit includes an Exhaust Shield Plate plus 500mm of Stainless Steel Truck Flex Tube. Available in sizes 2.5″ (60mm) or 3″ (76mm). The truck Flex Tube fits over your exhaust pipe and exits through the opening in the Exhaust Shield Plate.  The Kit also includes a coupling to fit over your exhaust pipe if required. This allows the exhaust gases to flow away from under your vehicle and not impact the Towing Brush.

When your pipes are angled downwards and within 150mm of the brush mounting area, choose our Exhaust Shield Plate.  This fitting has stainless steel open shield plate to be fitted in front of your exhaust pipe so exhaust heat and fumes are drawn into the open area and away from your vehicle. Towing Brush Strip bristles are individually stapled and can be removed with pliers to accommodate fitting the Exhaust Shield Plate over the Stainless Steel Rails and in front of your exhaust pipe. Exhaust Shield Plate is fitted with a smaller piece of Towing Brush Strip to cover the gap under the plate.

Angled Exhaust Pipes (150-500mm from brush mounting area):

Further, for exhaust pipes angled downwards and located between 150mm and 500mm (max) away from the brush mounting area, choose our Exhaust Extension Kit. The Exhaust Extension Kit includes Exhaust Shield Plate plus 500mm of Stainless Steel Truck Flex Tube in sizes 2.5″ (60mm) or 3″ (76mm). Truck Flex Tube allows fitting over your exhaust pipe with exit via the opening in the Exhaust Shield Plate. Also includes a coupling to fit over your exhaust pipe, and a stainless steel fitting to keep Flex Tube in place. This allows the exhaust gases to flow away from under the vehicle and not impact the Towing Brush.

Picking the Right Brush: Tips from Your Local Industrial Brush Suppliers

As designers, manufacturers, and industrial brush suppliers, the team at Busy Bee Brushware know better than anyone how overwhelming choosing the right brush can be. Whether you’re using it for cleaning, manufacturing, or construction, your job calls for a specific kind of industrial brushware. With 35 years of experience as industrial brush manufacturers, Busy Bee Brushware has learned a thing or two about selecting the ideal industrial brushes for your job. Here are a few tips on choosing the perfect brush for your project.

Choosing the Right Size

Our industrial brushes come in all shapes and sizes, so you must understand how big you need your brush to be. If you need a particular custom length, Busy Bee Brushware is your go-to brush supplier. We specialise in providing premium-quality custom orders delivered to you in no time at all. When thinking about your brush, make sure to consider;

  • Length. If you’re buying a tube brush, the length encompasses the head of the brush down to the end of the handle. If you’re purchasing an industrial brush strip, it will mean the length of the brush itself.
  • Diameter/width. Depending on your application, you may require a tube brush, industrial roller brushes, or spray suppressant strips. Each of these brushes has a specific width or diameter that will affect the application of the brushes.
  • Shape. Are you after a cylindrical brush? Or perhaps a round brush? The body of your industrial brushes will all depend upon their intended use, so make sure you know what your job requires.
  • Attachments. Some brushes will be simple, handheld designs using wooden, plastic, or metal handles. Other times, however, the brush is designed to be attached to a machine, vehicle, or door. You need to ensure the attachments you have are appropriate for the brush’s intended use.

Choosing the Right Bristles

Some brush bristles are gentler than others, so pick your bristles based on the job for which you need industrial brushes. Busy Bee Brushware, your local industrial brush suppliers, have a vast range of bristle types available, so you’re spoilt for choice.

  • Metal brushes: Brass, steel, and copper are all included under metal brushes. These brushes are for scouring or burnishing.
  • Synthetic brushes: Normally used in household and commercial cleaning, synthetic brushes are often made from plastics, nylon, or polypropylene.
  • Natural fibre brushes: Organic fibre brushes are typically for the cleaning of very sensitive areas, such as computer towers and electrical parts. They’re often made of horsehair, Tampico, baffine, or other organic materials.

Choosing the Right Functionality

Industrial brushes are surprisingly versatile, so if you let the team at Busy Bee Brushware know what you’re trying to accomplish, we’ll be able to help you find the ideal brush. We have brushes to cater for a massive range of jobs, including:

  • Metal finishing
  • Cleaning
  • Deburring
  • Defusing (not why this is included)
  • Attachment to conveyor belts
  • Washing
  • Welding
  • Glazing
  • Painting

Wire Tube Brush

The Do’s And Don’ts of Wire Tube Brushes

Busy Bee Brushware has been supplying wire tube brushes to homeowners and businesses around Australia for over 35 years. In that time, we’ve learned a lot about the versatility of the wire tube brush, and we’ve become specialists in the design, manufacture, and sales of the handy little brushes. That’s why we decided to develop a handy little guide to help you select the best wire tube brush for you.

 

The Uses of Wire Tube Brushes

We make wire brushes from a variety of metals, including steel, brass, tin, copper, and bronze. Here are a few handy applications of wire brushes.

  • Steel wire: These brushes tend to be quite aggressive and are ideal for heavy-duty brushing applications. Busy Bee Brushware recommends steel wire tube brushes if you need to do any deburring or cutting. Stainless steel is a popular choice in Australia, as the metal fair pretty well in our temperamental weather conditions.
  • Brass wire: Brass is a bit gentler than steel, but is still great for industrial applications. They’re perfect for cleaning, applying satin finishes, and reducing static. Brass wire tube brushes are popular because they are corrosion-resistant.
  • Tin wire: People typically purchase tin wire brushes for deburring and decarbonising applications. (this one needs to be stainless steel wire)

When to Avoid Using Wire Brushes

It’s important to remember that a wire tube brush is an abrasive brush. They are designed for cutting, cleaning, deburring, grinding, and finishing, so there are quite a few instances in which you should avoid using a wire brush.

  • If you’re not wearing PPE. Wire brushes can be sharp, so gloves and other appropriate PPE should be worn when handling them. Even if wire tube brushes aren’t being used to cut or grind, like in the case of a bristle gutter guard, gloves should still be worn to prevent injury or accident. (could put in wire scratch guard)
  • If you’re working with delicate materials. Depending on the metal, wire brushes have the potential to scratch or damage the material’s surface. Steer clear of glass, ceramics, and tile with most wire brushes.
