Where does everyone get their steel brush heads from for the steam machines?

Needing to find some with a M* thread, but its impossible. All the cup brushes ive seen are M10 or M14.. Its a nightmare.

What machine have you got Matt?

We had Osprey one's when we used low pressure and the brush seen in this clip were £30 for 10. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOrnyXAzbNc

The Miraclean steamer have larger brush heads. I've got a Miraclean to hand whenever I need to use one but all our gum job are full cleans with HP and I think low pressure is a bit tedious.

I've made people aware there will be clean stripes so why not just have the full lot cleaned. One guy weren't happy with the clean marks after we done the job and also Trevor Perry had the same issue with a job he did in Newcastle.

I dont know what machine it is mate, but its not an Osprey or a Miraclean. I think its Italian. All i know is the brushed need a M8 thread to attach them to the end of the lance.

I know what your saying about leaving clean spots, this job is Monoblock, not that dirty, and they dont want to pay for a full clean. I've made them aware.

[Matt Gibson]

Where did you get the brushes from mate?

Speak to Ian. He ordered them in for me, think straight from Osprey, not sure. But he can order them and have them post to you. These one's push on over the lance, is that what you need?

[Matt Gibson]

Nah I need the ones that screw on. The end of the steam lance has a male thread. All i need really is a wire cup brush, like the ones you use on an angle grinder, but all the ones from tool stores/screwfix etc. have too big of a thread.

You need to check the sizes..and i would try and find them in s/s brass is to soft. This is the general idea. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-4-1-2-3-8-MALE-x-FEMALE-REDUCTION-NIPPLE-UNION-FITTINGS-CHROME-PLATED-BRASS-/120801169864?pt=UK_DIY_Materials_Plumbing_MJ&var=&hash=item1c204f91c8

[Matt Gibson]

Cheers mate, i did think of something like that. i have found where i can order some if need be, but ive foundout what make/model the steamer is and ive emailed the supplier.

Get the brushes and send them to me and I'll mod them to suit. Something like this would do and I could weld an m8 nut on for you

maybe one of these will suffice?

maybe its even made by these guys? If so theyre only based in Preston

[Matt Gibson]

Lee, I only need the little wire brush that goes on the end of the steam lance. But that site sells some good little accessories..

Carl,

If i dont hear back from the machine supplier, i might take you up on that offer. Would it be possible to buy a load of the cup brushes with the M10 female thread and you could weld some M8 nuts on them?

[BDCS]

yes no worries

[chris scott]

There galvanised arn't they?

[Rob_Mac]

I haven't bought any because I have a few but I had the Miraclean machines and I thought the heads were 50 pence each!!??!!??!!??!?!?!?!

It would be nice if the Osprey ones were only 10 bob each
