Cable specifications and target users

The Ridgid 62225 is a 5/16 in diameter drain cleaning cable measuring 25 ft in length. It is built for professional plumbers and maintenance crews clearing blockages in sewer pipes.

Compatible machines and cleaner series

This sectional cable with a hollow core and bulb auger end fits drain guns, drum machines, hand spinners and sink machines. It works with K-26, K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 drum adapters for lines between 3/4 in and 1 1/2 in inside diameter.

Steel construction and daily handling

The steel cable resists kinking and corrosion during repeated use in wet environments. Its sectional design allows operators to add or remove lengths on the job, while the bulb auger engages clogs without damaging pipe interiors.

Questions about this item

How often does the 5/16 in steel cable need replacing when used with K-40 or K-45 machines?

Replace the cable when the steel shows kinks, fraying or permanent set; frequency depends on how often you clear 3/4 in to 1 1/2 in lines with the 25 ft length.

What stops the 25 ft hollow-core cable from feeding further during a long run?

The 25 ft length is the hard limit; once the bulb auger reaches the end of the steel cable you must retract or add another sectional piece.

Does the 5/16 in diameter cable run hot or draw extra power on a K-50 drum adapter all day?

The cable itself produces no heat and draws no power; any warmth or load comes from the machine driving it, not from the steel section.
