Drain cable 3/8 in x 75 ft

The Ridgid 87582 is a steel drain cleaning cable built for professional plumbers and maintenance crews clearing blockages in medium-diameter lines. It is designed to pair with specific Ridgid drum machines for powered operation.

Machine compatibility and setup

The cable fits Ridgid models K-3800, K400 WC32 and K400 WC45 without adapters. Coupling to the machine drum is straightforward, but the 75 ft length requires careful feeding to avoid kinking during the first runs.

Length and diameter constraints

At 75 ft the reach suits typical branch and lateral lines, yet the 3/8 in diameter limits torque transfer in heavy root masses or long vertical stacks. The steel construction resists wear but adds weight that can fatigue the operator on extended jobs.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the 3/8 in x 75 ft steel cable feeds and rotates smoothly in my K-3800 machine after installation?

Run the K-3800 at low speed with the cable inserted; the steel core should advance without binding and the drum should turn freely, indicating proper engagement with the 53117 drive.

What comes in the box and do I need separate couplings for the K400 WC32 24853 or K400 WC45 26998 models?

The box contains the 87582 cable only; couplings or adapters for the K400 WC32 24853 and K400 WC45 26998 are sold separately.

Which Ridgid machine models are listed for the 3/8 in x 75 ft steel cable 87582?

The cable is specified for the K-3800 53117, K400 WC32 24853 and K400 WC45 26998; choose the cable if you own one of these three models.
