Professional drain cable for 50 ft runs

The Ridgid 89400 is a 5/16 in diameter sectional cable built for K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 drum adapter machines. Its hollow core and bulb auger end clear blockages in drain lines from 3/4 in to 1-1/2 in inside diameter. Plumbers and maintenance crews use it on sink lines, floor drains and small lateral pipes.

Upgrades from shorter or solid-core cables

A 50 ft length reaches deeper clogs without adding couplings on the job. The hollow core reduces weight on drum machines compared with solid alternatives, so the motor turns easier on long pulls. Switch when your current cable cannot reach the obstruction or when a solid core stalls the machine on extended runs.

Clears 3/4 in to 1-1/2 in lines up to 50 ft

The 5/16 in steel cable navigates bends in residential and light commercial drains within the stated diameter range. At 50 ft it handles most kitchen, laundry and bathroom branches from a single access point. It stops short on main building drains larger than 1-1/2 in or runs exceeding 50 ft, where a larger diameter or longer cable is required.

Questions about this item

What machine types does the 89400 cable fit?

The 89400 cable fits Drain Guns, Drum Machines and Sink Machines, and works with K-40, K-40AF, K-45, K-45AF and K-50 Drum Adapters.

How is the 5/16 in cable installed, and what step is often missed?

Feed the hollow-core cable into the machine drum, lock the bulb auger end securely, then engage the clutch; the step often missed is fully tightening the auger set-screw before running the motor.

When does the 50 ft steel cable need replacement?

Replace the cable when the steel strands show fraying, the hollow core collapses or the bulb auger tip wears down, reducing grip inside 3/4 in to 1-1/2 in lines.
