This narrow swab with a versatile flexible head makes it easy to clean pipes, valves and other hard-to-reach surfaces on machinery and equipment.

Benefits & Recommended Uses:

Instructions for use & maintenance:

• Apply moderate pressure to avoid deforming the brush or damaging the surface.
• After use, rinse thoroughly, then sterilize or autoclave if necessary.
• Regularly inspect the condition of the fibers: if there is significant wear or deformation, replace the swab.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is this 5363 swab used for?
   It is used to clean hard-to-reach areas (pipes, valves, ducts, narrow passages) where conventional brushes cannot reach.
2. Why “medium”?
   “Medium” indicates the hardness of the fibers - neither too soft (ineffective) nor too stiff (risk of scratching). This is a good compromise for many industrial uses.
3. Can it be used in direct contact with food?
   Yes, the swab is designed to meet food contact standards and has been developed within the Vikan hygienic range.
4. What is the maximum temperature for use/sterilization?
   It can withstand cleaning up to ~93°C (industrial dishwasher) and be sterilized up to ~121°C in an autoclave.
5. Does it come with a stem or just the head?
   Product 5363 is the "complete" swab with its flexible head. If you want to adapt it to a larger flexible shaft, you must check compatibility.
