LONG ISLAND, N.Y. (May 21, 2008) — Thomas C. Wilson, a long-time leader in providing air, water and electrically driven tube cleaners to the Boiler industry, recently selected the environmentally friendly Wils-Away™ WAW-1500 Electric Tube Cleaning System as its seasonal showcase product. The heavy-duty Wils-Away quickly removes scale from large-diameter straight tubes in fire tube boilers, condensers and heaters.

“Spring is the best time for boiler maintenance because the heating season has ended and the cooling season has not yet begun,” said Stephen Hanley, chief executive officer of Thomas C. Wilson. “The Wils-Away ensures an efficient spring cleaning, as well as efficient, low-emission boiler operation in the coming year. With oil prices at an all-time high, our customers appreciate reducing their fuel costs as a result of using the Wils-Away.”

Economical and easy to use, the Wils-Away includes an electric drive unit for fast and thorough cleaning of tubes measuring 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches in Outer Diameter. The expanding, heavy-duty brush shaft and casing rotate at a high speed of 1,725 revolutions per minute — ideal for eliminating soot and cutting through the hardest scale in just one pass. The system includes all the necessary tube-cleaning tools and accessories: a detachable dolly, built-in toolbox, foot pedal, 25-foot flexible Shaft & Casing, vacuum connector nozzle, brushes and complete instruction manual.

With over 80 years of experience, Thomas C. Wilson, Inc. provides air, water and electrically driven tube cleaners, as well as tube expanders, tube removal and portable pneumatic tools, torque controlled expander drives and countless other products for the boiler, condenser and heat exchanger industry.
