Chimney brush for cleaning secondary heat exchanger
« on: October 01, 2015, 04:11:15 PM »
Is there anything wrong with using 6x10 inch chimney brush to clean out the 6x10 secondary heat exchanger. Even I don,t have my boiler running yet, I thought I,d take my 6 inch round chimney brush and run it through for the heck of it. Seems the bristles make good contact with the metal, but a rectangular would be better.

That's exactly how I cleaned mine this spring. A little tight but it worked well.
