Spacer in brush assembly
Maintenance and replacement:
- Periodically inspect the spacer for wear, cracks, or deformation. Over time, exposure to high temperatures and frequent use can degrade the material of the spacer, causing it to lose its shape or become brittle.
- Check for any signs of misalignment in the brush assembly. If the spacer is not properly aligned, the brushes may wear unevenly or fail to clean the combustion tube effectively.
- Clean the brush assembly, including the spacer, to remove any buildup of dust, carbon, or sulfur residue that might accumulate over time. Excessive buildup can affect the spacer's ability to maintain proper spacing, leading to inefficient cleaning.
Signs that replacement is needed:
- Excessive Wear or Deformation: If the spacer appears worn down, cracked, or deformed, it should be replaced immediately to prevent misalignment of the brush assembly.
- Ineffective Cleaning: If the brush assembly is no longer effectively cleaning the combustion tube (e.g., residue is left behind), the spacer may no longer be maintaining the correct distance between the brushes and the tube, necessitating replacement.
- Brush Misalignment: If the brushes seem to be rubbing too aggressively against the tube or not contacting the surface properly, the spacer may have worn out or shifted, indicating it’s time for a replacement.
