Help on Chimney Brush and Rods

[camdids]

I am trying to equip myself to clean my 4" Chimney Liner(26feet ) from my Pellet Stove.. I have purchased a Rutland 4inch Pellet Stove Brush. It has a 1/4" npt Thread. I have got a set of rods with a 3/8 thread. I bought a Rutland 3/8 to 1/4 Reducer. BUT it would apear that the 1/4" referred to by Rutland isnt exactly that. It appears to be 1/2"
I cannot seem to find a brush for a 4" Liner, that isnt either 1/4 or 5/16"

Anyone cleaned there 4" liner about my height, and what did you use and where can I get it.

Thanks

4" Lint-Eater.... Its Designed to do Dryer vents. Hooks to a Drill and has an attachment that you can hook a Shop-vac up to. So as you clean, it sucks and cleans the Ash. Or use the Good Ol Leafblower trick after brushing. Many on here use this.
I bought a "generic" version, but it still works well. I then use a leafblower after the Scrubbing.

The Lint-Eater can be found at most Hardware Stores. Can be had, for around $35 (that's how much mine cost). It came with over 16 ft of Flex-rod and several attachments. Can buy extra rods for longer applications.

Thanks for the reply.
But the Lint Eater is too flexible for 26 feet of liner , isnt it??

I think it will work.

I have a 3" brush with flex rod for my chimney liner that I got from Rutland and the flex part just plain sucks! It is too flexible to deal with the curves around the smoke shelf and will get about 10 feet and then everything bunches up. I've never been able to get it past that point. I'm trying some extension rods next.

You should be able to use pellet brush rods to go that distance. Here are some links to brushes, rods, kits and adapters-

My wife calls me cheap, I just call it "pineese" engineering. I had a 6" brush with the 3/8" rods for the wood stove that I
drilled and tapped the 1/2"-20 thread to accept the 1/4"-20 for the 4" pellet brush.
