Product Overview

The Long Handle Gong Fryer Cleaning Brush (Part No. 12116) is one of the most widely used fryer cleaning tools in commercial kitchens running Henny Penny equipment. The 518mm (20.4 inch) handle provides extended reach into the frypot while keeping hands safely away from hot cleaning solution — a critical safety feature during boil-out procedures where the cleaning solution is heated to near-boiling.

The gong brush head design — flat and wide — delivers broad surface coverage across the frypot interior in fewer strokes. This makes it the most efficient everyday maintenance brush for general frypot wall and base cleaning, particularly in high-volume operations where staff need to complete the cleaning routine quickly and consistently across multiple shifts.

White handle and white bristles for kitchen hygiene identification. Heat-resistant nylon bristles rated to 177°C (350°F). Genuine OEM Henny Penny part, listed on the Henny Penny accessories page for their full pressure and open fryer range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gong brush used for in a commercial fryer?
A gong brush is a wide, flat-headed fryer brush used to scrub the interior walls and base of a commercial frypot. The broad brush head covers more surface area per stroke than a round brush, making it the most efficient tool for general interior cleaning during boil-out.

What is the difference between the gong brush and the straight brush?
The gong brush (12116) has a wider head and shorter handle optimised for broad surface coverage during hot cleaning. The straight brush (12112) is longer at 686mm and has a narrower head optimised for deep-reach scrubbing along frypot walls. For a thorough clean, both are used together.

Signs You Need To Replace This Brush

• Bristles are splayed outward and no longer sitting flat against the frypot wall
• Visible discolouration, melting, or damage to bristles from repeated heat exposure
• General frypot cleaning is taking longer and requiring more passes
• Bristles are shedding during use
