For tough creosote build-up you need RoVac's ButtonLok Chimney Chain Whip and Adaptor. The spinning action of this chimney servicing tool chips away heavy accumulations of glazed creosote without damaging the surrounding masonry tiles. All you need is an Enforcer Steel Chimney Rod and an electric drill.
*Please Note: An Enforcer Steel Chimney Rod and a 1/2" electric drill with a minimum of 7.0 amps and a maximum rpm of 900 are required.
You would receive either the chain whip labeled "B" or "C", depending on the size selected from the drop down menu. "B" is the 8 inch chain whip, while "C" is the 12 inch version.

Chain whips should not be used on metal chimneys, as they will severely damage them. For normal cleaning, a polypropylene chimney brush should be used.
A plastic whip, such as the RoVac Super Scrub Power Sweeping Whip can be used for heavier deposits.

Will this chip or crack a terracotta chimney lining?
1 Answer
In almost all cases, this item will not damage masonry chimney flues while removing creosote. However, severely degraded flue tiles or any tiles that are already cracked can be further damaged by use of this product.
