Cleaning out copper tube of dust.

[Deleted member 32524]

Hello,

Thanks for looking. Been on a job an there are many other trades coming in and out. The place has turned in to a dust zone with rubble, deading etc all been disturbed. My 28mm and 22mm copper for the gas line has ended up being moved and now it has a film of dust in the tube. Would like to get it out other than blowing down.

Was thinking hose down them. Sounds a daft question now I have read it.

Thanks,
Duncan.

A tooth brush a ball of string and a very keen fast tracker.

Id set up a compressor and blast it out.....

make sure you have a plasterer on the other end looking down it to tell you when the glowing light appears.....
