Description

The RIDGID Model K9-306 FlexShaft™
®
Drain Cleaning Machine is designed to clean
and descale 3" to 6" (75-150 mm) pipes and
drain lines, up to 125' (38 m) in length.
A REV/O-OFF/FOR switch controls cable rota-
tion and a pneumatic foot switch provides ON/
OFF control of the motor. An integral Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is built into the
line cord.
The cable assembly is manually fed in and
out of the drain and rotates at 2000 RPM. A
chain knocker that expands to the pipe inside
diameter is used to break up the blockage and
clean the walls of the pipe. Chain knockers
with carbide cutting tips are available for use
on roots and cleaning the scale from the pipe
wall. Plain chain knockers are for general use,
including grease.
FlexShaft Drain Cleaners are well suited to
use with inspection cameras during the drain
cleaning process.
It is not recommended to clean glass, ceramic,
porcelain or similar fixtures with the FlexShaft
Drain Cleaners as it may damage the fixture.
