The Simpson T-Handle for ETB Brushes from Simpson is the required handle for use with all sizes of the ETBS standard wire hole-cleaning brush, making it an essential component for proper preparation of drilled holes before adhesive anchor installation. Designed to work with Simpson Strong-Tie SET-3G and AT-3G adhesives, this T-handle enables effective hole cleaning with fewer brush strokes at embedments up to 20 times the anchor diameter - delivering consistent, code-compliant results on anchoring projects where clean holes are critical to adhesive performance.

Key Features

• Required compatibility with all ETBS brush sizes - ensures you have the correct, manufacturer-specified handle for every wire hole-cleaning brush in the ETBS lineup, eliminating guesswork on the job site.
• Cleans holes up to 13-1/2 in. deep - reaches the embedment depths needed for a wide range of anchor installations without requiring an extension in most standard applications.
• 8-1/2-in. useable length - combines with the brush and any optional extension to give you a customizable total reach; add the usable length of each component to determine your full working depth.
• 12-in. extension available separately - lets you extend your cleaning reach beyond standard depth when deeper embedments are required, keeping one handle useful across varying project demands.
