What Are Chimney Cleaning Rods?
Chimney rods are tools used to push the brush thru the flue. Many of the chimney brushes available connect to these flexible rods. They thread together to give you the length you need. Chimney rods are available in different materials such as fiberglass, metal, polypropylene and rattan. Polypropylene rods are very flexible. Because of their flexibility, these rods are extreamly popular. However, because of this flexibility, they will not withstand prolonged, heavy duty use.
