Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for cleaning bleeder valves is disclosed. The apparatus includes a rigid casing and a flexible casing rotatably connected to the rigid casing. The flexible casing is adapted to provide fluid-tight coupling of the flexible casing to a bleeder valve. Within the flexible casing, a flexible shaft is rotatably mounted and extended from one end of the flexible casing to a position outwardly of an opposite end of the flexible casing. Connected to the flexible shaft is a drill bit adapted for engagement to breakdown sediments. The drill bit includes a tip, a first and second flutes. The first and second flutes are extended longitudinally along the length of the drill bit, and are relatively straight. The first flute includes a first cutting edge, and the second flute includes a second cutting edge. Also connected to the rigid casing is a valve adapted for selective venting of an interior of the rigid casing.
