  • Clears ¾ to 1½ in. drains with 25 ft reach

5/16 in 25 ft Sectional Cable

The Ridgid 62235 is a steel drain cleaning cable built for professional plumbers and maintenance crews. It fits K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 drum adapters as well as drain guns and sink machines. The hollow core design with drop head auger targets blockages in sewer pipes.

Installs on compatible drums and guns

The cable slides into K-series drum adapters and locks onto drain guns or sink machines without tools. The drop head auger negotiates bends in lines from 3/4 in to 1 1/2 in inside diameter. Steel construction resists kinking but sectional lengths require secure coupling to prevent separation under torque.

25 ft reach for branch lines

At 25 ft the cable clears typical sink, tub and floor-drain runs up to 1 1/2 in inside diameter. The 5/16 in diameter provides stiffness for push-through power while fitting tight bends. Longer main-line runs or diameters above 1 1/2 in exceed its effective range.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 5/16 in. cable feeds correctly after attaching it to a K-40 or K-45 machine?

Run the machine briefly; the hollow-core steel cable should rotate smoothly through the drum without binding and the drop-head auger should engage the blockage within the 3/4 in. to 1 1/2 in. drain range.

What comes in the box and what must I buy separately for a K-50 drum adapter setup?

The box contains the 25 ft. sectional steel cable with drop-head auger; a K-50 drum adapter is not included and must be purchased separately.

Which cable diameter and length suit a 1 1/2 in. sewer line cleared with a K-45AF sink machine?

The 5/16 in. diameter by 25 ft. length matches the maximum 1 1/2 in. inside diameter rating and is compatible with K-45AF machines.
