Ridgid 62990 Straight Auger 5 In Steel

The Ridgid 62990 is a straight auger made of steel with a 5-inch length. It is designed for use with specific drain cleaning machines including models K40, K-39B-1, K39, K-39AF, and K-50-8. Professional plumbers and maintenance technicians use this accessory to clear blockages in drain lines.

Compatible machine upgrade

This auger replaces worn or damaged cutter heads on the listed Ridgid drain cleaning machines. The upgrade is worth it when the existing auger no longer engages the cable properly or fails to retrieve debris. It restores the machine's ability to penetrate and clear obstructions without changing the cable diameter or machine setup.

Cable and machine interface limits

The auger connects directly to the machine's cable end fitting, so compatibility is limited to the specified model numbers. It cannot be used with machines that have different cable diameters or connector types. The steel construction resists wear but the fixed 5-inch length determines the reach into the pipe from the cable end.

Questions about this item

Which drain-cleaning machines accept the 5-inch steel straight auger?

The auger fits Ridgid K40/71722, K-39B-1, K39/68057, K-39AF and K-50-8/59000 machines.

How do you attach the auger to the cable, and what step is often missed?

Thread the auger onto the cable end and tighten the set screw fully; skipping the screw lets the auger spin off inside the pipe.

What part of the auger wears first and when should it be replaced?

The steel cutting edges dull with heavy use; replace the auger when it no longer bites into blockages or shows rounded tips.
