35 ft Sectional Cable for Drain Guns

The Ridgid 62260 is a 35 ft sectional drain cleaning cable with a 3/8 in diameter and hollow core. It fits K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 drum adapter machines. Professional plumbers and maintenance crews use it to clear sewer pipes ranging from 1 1/4 in to 2 1/2 in inside diameter. The steel construction and coupling ends withstand repeated heavy-duty use.

Replaces Worn Sectional Cables on Compatible

This cable replaces a damaged or worn sectional cable on the listed Ridgid sink machines, drum machines and drain guns. The upgrade is worth it when the existing cable shows kinking, core collapse or coupling wear that reduces clearing power. A fresh 35 ft length restores full reach and torque transfer for the supported machine series. It does not adapt to machines outside the K-40, K-45 or K-50 adapter families.

35 ft Reach Handles Typical Branch and Main Lines

At 35 ft the cable comfortably clears residential branch lines and shorter main runs within the 1 1/4 in to 2 1/2 in diameter range. The hollow core keeps weight to 7.6 units while maintaining stiffness for push-through power. Runs longer than 35 ft or lines exceeding 2 1/2 in inside diameter exceed this cable's capacity. It is not suited for larger-diameter municipal mains or extended commercial laterals.

Questions about this item

Will the 3/8 in diameter and 35 ft length fit my K-40 drum machine?

Yes, the cable is listed as compatible with the K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 drum adapter series, and its 3/8 in diameter matches the coupling end type for those machines.

How do I attach the cable to the machine without damaging the hollow core?

Align the coupling end with the drum adapter, push firmly until it seats, then tighten the set screw; forcing the cable before the coupling is fully engaged can kink the hollow core.

When should I replace this steel cable after heavy sewer use?

Inspect the cable after each job; replace it if the steel shows flattened strands, corrosion, or if the coupling end becomes loose or cracked.
