Ridgid 59250 Cable Drum Adapter

The Ridgid 59250 is a cable drum adapter designed for use with K-50 sectional machines. It supplies a 25 ft steel cable with a 5/16 in diameter and hollow core, terminated by a bulb auger. Professional plumbers use it to clear blockages in floor drains, showers and sinks where the inside diameter falls between 3/4 in and 1 1/2 in. The polyethylene drum protects the cable during storage and transport.

Upgrade from shorter or smaller sectional cables

This adapter replaces shorter sectional cables or smaller-diameter units when a job demands 25 ft of reach and a 5/16 in cable that fits 3/4 in to 1 1/2 in lines. The jump is worth it when the blockage sits beyond the length of the existing cable or when the line diameter requires the stiffness of a 5/16 in steel cable with a hollow core. It is not for technicians who need a solid-core cable, a different auger head or a length other than 25 ft.

Limits of K-50 sectional machine compatibility

The adapter works only with Ridgid K-50 sectional machines and accepts only 5/16 in sectional cable with a hollow core and bulb auger end. It cannot be used on drum machines, on cables of a different diameter or on lines larger than 1 1/2 in inside diameter. The hollow-core construction and fixed 25 ft length define the mechanical limits of the assembly.

Questions about this item

Will the 5/16 in cable diameter fit my K-50 machine drum?

The adapter is built for K-50 sectional machines and uses a 5/16 in steel cable, matching the drum specifications for that series.

How do I attach the bulb auger end to the cable correctly?

Thread the bulb auger onto the hollow-core cable until it seats firmly; the common error is leaving a gap that lets the auger unscrew inside the line.

When should I replace the 25 ft steel cable?

Replace the cable when the hollow core shows flattening, the steel strands fray near the bulb auger, or the polyethylene drum cracks from impact.
