ICYMI | Win a K9-12 Flexshaft from RIDGID  

PHPI has teamed up with RIDGID to give one plumber the chance to win a K9-12 Flexshaft drain cleaning machine. 

The new Flexshaft has been designed for unblocking and descaling of pipes 1 ¼” to 2” (32 – 50mm) diameter. It can be used in commercial and domestic kitchens where the usual suspects of sinks, dishwashers and washing machines can cause pipes to become blocked with hair, fat, grease and food waste. Plumbers have also reported how the machine can be used to clear blocked downpipes from the roof gutter to the drain. Just insert it at ground level and it’ll clear the blockage of leaves and small plant growth. 

There are also penetrating ball heads available to help break through the initial blockage before the chain knockers do their job. Nylon brushes are also available, up to 2” diameter for the finishing touch. 

Power up
To power the machine attach a standard 1800-2500 RPM power drill to the 3/8” (10mm) drive spindle. The spindle is angled conveniently for attachment to a drill to make operation comfortable and controlled.  

The unit has 9m of Flexshaft cable, sheathed in nylon for less mess and easy clean-up. As the inner cable spins the chain knockers, they expand to fill the pipe and provides wall-to-wall cleaning. The outer sheath remains static to prevent any damage to fittings and fixtures.  

The outlet cable cap can be removed when you want to access the cable for cleaning, maintenance and for storing the chain knocker at the end of a job. 

The compact design is just 3.8kg (without drill or chain knocker) and has an integrated carrying handle. At just over 1’ x 1’ x 5” (33 x 38 x 12cm) it’s small enough to fit under sinks and standard cupboard units on confined jobs and can be stored on its side meaning it won’t take up much space in a van.
