(More customer reviews)I purchased fiberglass rods and a 3 inch fiber brush to clean out the flue of my wood pellet stove. Other brush and rod combinations I have purchased just wadded up after going in a short distance so a rigid rod was what I needed. Since the rigid meeco rods were 1/4 inch pipe thread and the 3 inch meeco brush was 1/2-20 thread I went to my local hardware store and purchased a 1/4 inch pipe coupling and a 1/4-20 barrel nut. I welded them together, end-to-end, making an adapter. With this combination, I was able to connect the two dissimilar threads together and clean out the pipe properly without any collapsing of the rods. I was amazed at how much ash I was able to clean out of the flue. My stove is running as it did when it was newly installed. The quality of both the rods and the brush seems quite good.
My only regret is that there was not a pre-made adapter available to connect the 1/4 pipe thread to the 1/4 20 thread. Meeco are you listening?
