Sectional Drain Cleaning Cables with General® Connectors

Sections for I-95, Root 66, Model 88, Hot-Rodder and Rodrunner come in the all purpose Flexichain which has a chain center, a stiffer Proflex which has a spring center, and a hollow style. Proflex is also available with a heavier duty 5/8″ spring center. Choose from three coupling styles. They snap together in a second and are taken apart quickly with a spanner wrench or uncoupling key. With the more recently developed “G” connector, no torque is put on the locking pin when running in reverse, making it a durable coupling.

Snake-Oil Classic™

Two great ways 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 also includes a deodorizer to give equipment a fresh, clean smell. Available in quarts or gallons.

Quick-Fix™

General Pipe Cleaners’ Quick-Fix™ lets you repair broken drain snakes in the field, so you can finish the job without returning to the shop. Available in 1/2”, 9/16”, 5/8”, and 3/4” sizes with female or male connectors.

The pre-welded spring attaches easily—just cut off the damaged cable end, thread on the Quick-Fix, and secure with pliers or vice-grips. No welder needed! Once attached, it grips tightly and won’t come off.
