Drain-Rooter PH™, General Pipe Cleaners, Sink Machine Rentals

Drain Rooter-PH

Help your rental customers clear clogged sinks, tubs and laundry drains with less effort. Equipped with a variable speed power cable feed and variable speed motor, the Drain-Rooter PH makes drain cleaning jobs cleaner and easier. It’s a real labor-saver for your rental customers where the weight of the machine could get burdensome.

The Drain-Rooter PH feeds and retrieves the drain cables at up to 16 feet per minute. A four-foot guide hose eliminates cable whipping, dirty fixtures and messy floors. And the drum speed can be varied by changing the pressure on the foot pedal, making it easier to thread the boring head through sink strainers.

The Drain-Rooter PH can be operated in both horizontal and vertical positions to get closer to the drain opening.

Quick Change Cable Cartridges make it easy to switch to a different diameter cable. You just loosen three screws, pull the front of the drum off and load another cartridge. Changing takes less than a minute and turns what could be a messy job into a clean one.

The rust resistant aluminum drum carries up to 50 ft. of 5/16″ or 35 ft. of 3/8″ Flexicore® wire rope center cable. It also comes with the new Band-It™ splashguard to minimize excess water spray from the spinning drum. Complete units include five-piece HECS cutter set.

Power Cable Feed

The power cable feed is real labor saver. It enables you to vary feeding speed in and out of the line and gives you better control when working tough stoppages.

Foot Pedal

The drum speed can be varied by changing pressure on the foot pedal.

Cartridge Refill System

To switch to a different diameter cable, you just loosen three screws, pull the front of the drum off the cable, and load another cartridge. Changing takes less than a minute and turns what could be a messy job into a clean one. The tough plastic cartridges are so inexpensive, you’ll probably want to store all of your cables in them.

Snake-Oil Classic

A great way to extend the life of drain cleaning tools & equipment

Snake-Oil Classic™ preserves and protects sewer cables against rust and corrosion. It’s better than common lubricants because its special rust inhibitor cuts through moisture and replaces it with a rust-resistant coating. You’ll significantly extend the life of your cables and sewer machine, including the drum, bearings and power cable feed rollers. Snake Oil Classic also includes a deodorizer to give equipment a fresh, clean smell. Available in quarts or gallons.

ClogChopper®

Rip through tough stoppages with the unique ClogChopper® multi-function cutting tools. Six self-sharpening blades dig into encrusted debris and root masses, easily grinding up stoppages, scale, and crystallized urine, without risking pipe damage.

The spherical design maneuvers around tight bends and traps, thoroughly and safely cleaning metal, plastic, and clay pipes. As it spins it also self-sharpens as it scrapes along the pipe walls. It’s excellent for clearing stacks, downspouts, mains, as well as for drain lining jobs.
