Pilot Bonding Brushes for Aircraft Maintenance

Pilot bonding brushes are specialized aircraft maintenance brushes designed to remove paint, primer, oxidation, and rust from around bolt and rivet holes where a clean electrical contact is required. The piloted stainless steel brush helps prepare the area for reliable aircraft bonding and grounding connections.

The pilot helps center the brush in the fastener hole while the stainless steel bristles remove unwanted coatings from the surrounding surface. This makes pilot bonding brushes useful when preparing aircraft structures and components for bonding wires, grounding connections, and other electrical continuity applications.

BAC offers pilot bonding brushes in multiple pilot sizes to accommodate different fastener and hole diameters. Select the appropriate brush size based on the applicable aircraft maintenance procedure and the hole or fastener being serviced.

Brush Size	Brush Type	Aircraft Maintenance Application	Key Feature
1/4"	Pilot Bonding Brush	For preparing larger bolt or rivet holes where paint, primer, or corrosion must be removed to establish a clean bonding or grounding contact.	Piloted stainless steel brush; 1/2" brush diameter.
1/8"	Pilot Bonding Brush	For smaller fastener and bonding locations where controlled removal of paint, primer, or rust is required around a hole.	Piloted stainless steel construction.
3/16"	Pilot Bonding Brush	Suitable for preparing intermediate-size bolt and rivet hole locations for aircraft bonding and grounding connections.	Piloted stainless steel construction.
3/32"	Pilot Bonding Brush	For smaller aircraft fastener holes and confined bonding locations where precise surface preparation is needed.	Piloted stainless steel construction.
5/32"	Pilot Bonding Brush	For aircraft bonding and grounding preparation around fastener holes requiring removal of paint, primer, or surface corrosion.	Piloted stainless steel construction.

How Pilot Bonding Brushes Are Used

Aircraft bonding and grounding connections require dependable electrical continuity between components and aircraft structure. Paint, primer, corrosion, and other coatings can interfere with the electrical connection when they remain between the bonding hardware and the conductive surface.

A pilot bonding brush is used to remove the unwanted coating around the applicable bolt or rivet hole, exposing the surface needed to establish electrical contact. The brush's pilot helps position the brush in the hole while the stainless steel bristles clean the surrounding area.

These brushes can be particularly useful during aircraft electrical bonding work, grounding repairs, component installation, inspection, and maintenance where a clean contact area is required.

Why Use a Piloted Bonding Brush?

Controlled surface preparation: Helps remove paint, primer, and rust around fastener holes.
Designed for aircraft maintenance: Suitable for preparing bonding and grounding connection areas.
Piloted design: Helps center the brush within the bolt or rivet hole during use.
Stainless steel bristles: Provides a durable brushing surface for removing unwanted coatings.
Multiple sizes: Available in 3/32", 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", and 1/4" sizes for different applications.

Choosing the Correct Pilot Bonding Brush

Choose the pilot bonding brush size according to the diameter of the applicable fastener hole and the requirements of the aircraft maintenance procedure. Using the appropriate size helps keep the brush properly positioned while preparing the required contact area.

BAC's selection includes pilot sizes from 3/32 inch through 1/4 inch, providing options for a range of aircraft bonding and grounding applications.

Aircraft Maintenance Note: Use pilot bonding brushes in accordance with the applicable aircraft maintenance manual, engineering documentation, or approved maintenance procedure. Remove only the coating necessary to establish the specified bonding or grounding connection and protect the surrounding finish and structure.
