RIDGID Expands FlexShaft Lineup of Drain Cleaning Machines

RIDGID, part of Emerson’s professional tools portfolio, introduces the K9-12 FlexShaft Drain Cleaning Machine, the latest in a complete line of RIDGID FlexShafts that provide wall-to-wall pipe cleaning power with astonishing speed. The K9-12 is the smallest of the machines and perfect for residential use, eliminating the need to repeatedly unclog the same household drain lines.

Clearing up to 30 feet of 1¼- to 2-inch pipe, the K9-12 breaks up grease, hair and other soft blockages, making it ideal for kitchen and bath sinks, as well as tubs and shower drains. Powered by an 1800 to 2500 RPM cordless drill, the machine’s chain knocker expands inside the pipe to quickly clear the blockage and restore the pipe to full flow. A flexible, protective sheath encapsulates the cable, keeping it fully enclosed for less mess and faster cleanup. The built-in clutch design also extends the cable life.
