OATEY 31327 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Oatey 31327 fitting brush clean the inside of a 1/2 inch copper fitting or the outside of 1/2 inch pipe?
The Oatey 31327 is an inside-diameter (ID) brush. It cleans the socket of a 1/2 inch copper fitting before soldering. For scrubbing the outside of the tube end you need an outside-diameter brush or sand cloth instead, so most solder kits carry both.
2) Can I use this copper fitting brush on brass or plastic fittings?
Yes. The Oatey heavy duty fitting brush is made for copper sweat prep but can also be used to clean plastic and brass. On plastic, it is for cleaning the socket, not for abrading a joint that will be solvent welded to spec.
3) What are the bristles made of on the Oatey 31327 fitting brush?
High carbon steel bristles on a galvanized steel stem, with a sharp cutting surface that strips oxide from the fitting socket. The steel stem is what lets you lean on it in a 1/2 inch socket without the brush folding over, which is the usual failure on light duty brushes.
4) Is this an in-hand brush or does it chuck into a drill?
It is a hand brush. The 31327 has a non-slip, contoured plastic handle rather than a hex shank, so it is turned by hand in the fitting. If you are prepping large counts of fittings on a repipe, a drill-driven cleaning tool is the faster route.
5) What is the Oatey part number and UPC for the 1/2 inch heavy duty fitting brush?
Oatey part number 31327, UPC 038753313276. That is the 1/2 inch ID size within the heavy duty fitting brush range; larger sockets up to 2 inch carry different Oatey numbers.
6) How heavy is the Oatey 31327 fitting brush for a service truck kit?
Listed product weight is 0.1, so it adds effectively nothing to a solder kit or tool pouch. The handle version is bulkier than a bare wire fitting brush but is easier to control in tight overhead work.
