I have a Burnham RSA125 residential steel boiler. It has 1-1/2” tubes. Can anyone tell me what type and size brush I need to properly clean the tubes and if there is an online source for the correct brush, thank you.

    Supply House.com has cleaning brushes. Tubes are sometimes measured by the od. I would measure the id and call them to get the right brush

    That is a fire-tube boiler, right? Is it gas- or oil-fired? You want brushes that are slightly larger in diameter than the i.d. of the tubes. You just want to clean the tubes, not abrade them. If gas-fired, once every couple of years should suffice.
