Straight Auger for K-1500 Machines
The Ridgid 62840 is a straight auger built for sectional machine cables used with K-1500, K-1500G and K-1500SP drain cleaners. It fits a 1 1/4 in female coupling and targets drain lines with a minimum inside diameter of 1 1/2 in. Professional plumbers and maintenance crews use it to clear blockages in compatible sectional cable systems.
Behaviour Under Sustained Use
The auger connects directly to K-1500 series machines including part numbers 23712 and 23717 for continuous cable feed operation. Its straight head design maintains a consistent path through the pipe during extended cleaning runs. Steel construction resists deformation when the cable encounters repeated resistance inside the drain line.
Build and Connection Implications
A female coupling mates with the machine’s cable end without an adapter, reducing setup time on site. The steel body withstands the torque and abrasion common in industrial drain cleaning. Compatibility is limited to the specified K-1500 series; machines outside that range will not accept the coupling.

Questions about this item
Does the 62840 straight auger generate noticeable noise or heat when the K-1500 machine runs continuously?
The auger itself is a passive steel head with no moving parts; all noise and heat come from the K-1500 series cable machine driving it.
Which drain-cleaning machine must I already own to use this 1 1/4 in coupling auger?
It fits Ridgid K-1500, K-1500G and K-1500SP sectional machines using cable part numbers 23712 or 23717.
Can I keep my older K-1500B machine and still run this 62840 auger on 1 1/2 in minimum drain lines?
Yes — the auger couples to K-1500B (23717) cables and is rated for lines of 1 1/2 in inside diameter and larger.
