I need about 20 feet of cleaning rod for my brush with a 5/8 inch thread. Do you have rods or an adapter?
By Collin C. - NFI Master Hearth Professional on March 4, 2013

Answer:
While we do offer a large variety of chimney rods, they are available only in 1/4, 3/8, 3/4, and 7/8 inch sizes. The 5/8 inch rods are definitely not a common size and I currently do not have adapters available for them. Just to be certain, I would double check the thread size of the brush. The 3/8 brushes are by far the most common size.

Should a chimney cleaning brush be the same size as the flue pipe or should it be oversized for cleaning friction?
on November 9, 2012

Answer:
It is best to match a brush to your pipe diameter. A 6" round flue takes a 6" brush. Over-sizing the brush results in the brush bristles folding over which reduces their cleaning ability.

I have a wood stove with a 6" stainless steel chimney pipe. From the cap it is straight down towards the stove and measures 12 ft. It then does a 45 degree bend, goes approx 18-24 inches, and then does an opposite 45 degree bend and then is straight for 4 ft to the stove.

What would you recommend for a cleaning rod(s) connected together that would reach the entire length and be flexible enough to get through the bends? Also, what would you recommend to brush the stainless chimney pipe?

Answer:
In order to reach past the 45 degree bends, you would need a small diameter fiberglass rod, such as the Copperfield 58F Light-Duty Fiberglass Chimney Cleaning Rod. Another slightly more durable, yet more costly option is the Rutland Flexible Nylon Chimney Rod - 4 Foot. Both of these rods are flexible enough to make the bend, however the nylon rods are better for frequent use. Both rods will need a reducer to make the connection to the 3/8 inch brushes.

I would recommend a plastic bristle brush for your application, such as the Schaefer Plastic Round Chimney Cleaning Brush. This will clean the flue without damaging the inner lining, as can happen with the more abrasive metal brushes.
