Part Number: SS18
The Heat Seal Equipment SS18 Scorpion Reverse Blast Spinning Brush is designed for aggressive dryer vent and round duct cleaning when standard air whips, skipper balls, or blast nozzles are not strong enough.

How It Works
The SS18 uses compressed air to spin the brush while the reverse blast air jets push debris back toward the operator. This makes it useful when cleaning dryer vents or round duct runs where lint has become packed, dried, or baked onto the duct wall.
Important Compatibility Notes
- This tool is for 4" to 6" round ducts only.
- Requires at least 100 PSI and approximately 12 CFM air supply.
- Can only be used with compatible Scorpion rods and Scorpion snake systems.
- Not recommended as a substitute for manual inspection when ducts are crushed, disconnected, blocked, or damaged.
When To Choose This Tool
Use the SS18 when a regular skipper ball, air whip, or reverse blast nozzle will not fully remove the buildup. The spinning bristles provide added mechanical agitation, while the reverse air flow helps move lint and debris back toward the opening for removal.
Common Questions
Will this work in square or rectangular duct?
No. This tool is intended for 4" to 6" round duct only.

This is a reverse blast tool. It blows backward to help bring loosened debris back toward the operator.
Can I use this with any air duct cleaning rod?
No. The SS18 is designed for use with Scorpion rods and snake systems only.
Is this more aggressive than a standard air whip?
Yes. The spinning bristles add mechanical brushing action for tougher lint and debris removal.
