TruFit® Tube Cleaners

TruFit® Tube Cleaners

A Conco tube cleaner with TruFit® technology is your guarantee that the tube cleaner you buy is the perfect match for your tube dimensions. Using a tube cleaner that claims to fit multiple tube dimensions, or one manufactured of low-quality material, can cause tube damage. Conco TruFit Tube Cleaners are designed to fit your exact tube sizes. They are built by us, in our factory, using only the best materials and with stringent quality inspection techniques every step of the way.  

We know that all fouling is not created equal and no one understands tube fouling better than Conco. We have developed over a dozen different styles and configurations of TruFit Tube Cleaners to clean a wide range of deposits, including mud, slime, algae, zebra mussels, manganese, iron, corrosion product, crystalline and calcium carbonate. Simply put, Conco TruFit Tube Cleaners are the Best Tube Cleaners on the Planet!

How They Work

Unlike other manufacturers who claim their “off the shelf” tube cleaners can clean a range of tube sizes, Conco TruFit Tube Cleaners are custom engineered to match your tube dimensions. By creating an exact match between the diameter of the tube cleaner and the tube I.D., we are able to maximize the cleaning effectiveness of the tube cleaner while preventing any damage to the tube wall. 

All Conco TruFit® Cleaners are:
  • Safe, water powered tube cleaners shot through condenser and heat exchanger tubes using the Conco ProSeries™ Tube Cleaning System
  • Custom built in our factory to match your exact tube dimensions
  • Made from only the highest quality materials for maximum performance
  • Individually inspected for quality assurance
  • Designed with fouling-specific architecture
  • Color-coded for quick sizing and easy identification
