Il s’agit d’un petit "gadget" muni d’une extrémité mâle et d’une extrémité femelle qu'on utilise pour retirer les impuretés qui se sont déposées dans le creux du tuyau de cuivre après qu'on l'ait coupé, de même que pour bien "polir" l'extérieur des tuyaux avant de les souder. Comme ce gadget s’apparente à un hérisson et qu'il sert au décapage, nous avons d’abord pensé proposer "hérisson de décapage", expression certes plus élégante que "brosse à joints" mais qui risque de ne pas être comprise, contrairement à "brosse à joints", expression courante si on se fie au quincaillier Rona. 1, record 4, French, - brosse%20%C3%A0%20joints
