Steel Wool Pack Med Grade 6Oz

Steel Wool Pack Med Grade 6Oz

The Steel Wool Pack (Medium Grade, 6oz) is an essential, multi-purpose consumable for professional plumbers, heating engineers, and DIY enthusiasts. In plumbing, medium-grade steel wool is crucial for preparing copper pipework and fittings before soldering. It provides the ideal abrasive surface to remove oxidation, dirt, and oil from the pipe ends, ensuring a clean, shiny metallic surface that is absolutely necessary for the capillary action of flux and solder to create a permanent, leak-proof joint.

Key Features and Applications
Medium Grade Abrasion: Offers the perfect balance of effectiveness and control for cleaning soft metals like copper without excessively scoring the surface.

Essential for Soldering: Quickly and efficiently prepares copper pipe ends and the inside of end feed fittings, which is vital for the successful flow of solder.

Multi-Purpose Use: Also excellent for general cleaning, stripping, smoothing wood, polishing metal finishes, and removing light rust from tools and fittings.

Convenient Pack Size: The 6oz pack provides a generous and manageable quantity for ongoing professional use on site or in the workshop.
