Duct Brushes & Mandrels

Residential and commercial buildings, clean air ducts are crucial for maintaining good indoor air quality. But over time, dust, debris, and even allergens can accumulate inside ductwork. This is where duct brushes and mandrels come in – a powerful cleaning duo that keeps your air passages breathing freely, Ohio Power Tool has some options to help. Duct Brushes: These workhorses of duct cleaning resemble oversized bottle brushes. They come in various sizes to fit different duct diameters and feature stiff nylon or polypropylene bristles. As the brush is inserted into the ductwork and rotated, the bristles dislodge dust, dirt, and debris clinging to the interior walls. Duct brushes are often used in conjunction with a powerful vacuum cleaner attached to the other end of the duct, sucking up the dislodged debris and ensuring a clean sweep. Mandrels: These are essentially long, flexible rods that act as the backbone for duct brush operation. Mandrels are typically made of steel or fiberglass and come in various lengths to navigate even extensive duct systems common in larger Ohio buildings. One end of the mandrel connects to the drill or power driver, while the other end securely holds the duct brush. The mandrel's flexibility allows for easy maneuvering through bends and turns within the ductwork, ensuring the brush reaches all areas for a thorough cleaning. Beyond Residential Applications: Duct brushes and mandrels are not just for homes. These cleaning tools are vital for maintaining air quality in various commercial buildings in Ohio, from office buildings and schools to restaurants and healthcare facilities. Regular duct cleaning with these tools helps prevent dust and allergens from circulating through the air, promoting a healthier environment for occupants. By utilizing duct brushes and mandrels, homeowners and facility managers in Ohio can ensure clean and efficient air flow throughout their buildings. This not only improves indoor air quality but can also potentially extend the lifespan of HVAC systems by preventing dust buildup from hindering performance.
