Supco UFC1 Fin Comb
The Supco UFC1 Universal Fin Comb is a heavy-duty field tool designed for the precision straightening of flattened condenser and evaporator fins. Engineered for the rigors of commercial HVACR maintenance, this tool utilizes stainless steel teeth to aggressively clear debris and realign aluminum fins, restoring critical airflow efficiency to the coil block. Unlike fixed-head combs, the UFC1 features sliding tension bars that allow technicians to manually adjust spacing to match various fins per inch (FPI) counts found on diverse air conditioning and refrigeration units.
Built for high-torque service calls, the cushioned handle is specifically contoured to provide leverage while acting as a knuckle guard against sharp coil edges. By maintaining even spacing between fins, you ensure optimal heat transfer and prevent high-head pressure issues caused by airflow restrictions. The HVAC fin straightener is a staple for any service truck looking to extend the operational life of heat exchangers without damaging sensitive tube-to-fin bonds.
Key Benefits- Universal adjustability via sliding tensioners ensures HVAC coil maintenance flexibility across multiple equipment brands.
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction prevents metal fatigue during heavy-duty cleaning of condenser and evaporator fins.
- Ergonomic knuckle protection reduces hand fatigue and prevents injury when working in tight mechanical rooms or rooftop enclosures.
- Increased SEER performance by restoring factory-spec airflow and improving thermal exchange capacity.
Can the Supco UFC1 be used on microchannel coils?
Standard fin combs are optimized for traditional copper tube-aluminum fin coils. For microchannels, utilize light pressure and verify tooth alignment with the specific FPI to avoid piercing the flat tubes.
How do I adjust the spacing for different coil densities?
Loosen the sliding tension bars, align the stainless steel teeth with a straight section of the coil, and then tighten the bars to lock in the required spacing for that specific unit.
Will this tool remove surface oxidation from the coils?
while primarily designed for mechanical straightening, the steel teeth help dislodge stubborn surface debris and oxidation during the combing process to prep for chemical cleaning.
