  • 5/16 in steel cable clears ¾–1½ in drains
  • 35 ft length reaches deep blockages
  • Inner core adds stiffness for tough clogs
  • Drop-head auger navigates tight bends

Drain cable for K-3800 and K-40 series

This 5/16-inch diameter cable stretches 35 feet and fits Ridgid drain guns, drum machines and sink machines. It is built for sewer-pipe work and suits plumbers who need a reliable inner-core drum cable. The drop-head auger end helps navigate bends in lines from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch inside diameter.

Fits drum machines and clears mid-size lines

The cable mounts directly on compatible drum machines such as the K-3800, K-40, K-40AF, K-45 and K-45AF. Its steel construction resists kinking while the inner core adds stiffness for pushing through blockages. Using this cable frees the operator from manually feeding shorter sections during a job.

Drop-head auger improves corner entry

The factory-fitted drop-head auger lets the cable enter tight bends without a separate attachment. This reduces setup time on site and lowers the chance of losing a loose cutter in the pipe. The integrated end stays secure throughout the 35-foot run.
