ABSTRACT:
A hand-held tool and method for cleaning the surfaces of tubing and fittings then applying flux to the cleaned surfaces. The hand-held tool includes an elongated casing which has a longitudinal axis, first and second ends, and a chamber between the first and second ends of the casing. A removable cartridge which contains a flux and has an orifice for discharge of the flux from the cartridge is disposed within the chamber. A cleaning brush is affixed to the first end of the casing. The tool also includes dispensing means for dispensing the flux from the cartridge and transmitting means in communication with the orifice of the cartridge for transmitting the dispensed flux from the cartridge to a flux applicator. The flux applicator is connected to the transmitting means adjacent the second end of the casing. Holding the tool in one hand, the operator cleans the surfaces of the tubing or fittings with the cleaning brush affixed to the first end of the casing. The operator then dispenses the flux from the cartridge, the dispensed flux being transmitted to the flux applicator. The operator then applies the dispensed flux from the flux applicator onto the clean surfaces of the tubing or the fittings.
