Drain Line Tools (1)Background and Identification
The Electric Eel Drain Cleaner RK-3/4IC100 is made by Electric Eel Manufacturing, an Ohio-based drain cleaning equipment supplier that was founded in 1939. Electric drain cleaners use a motor to twist and feed a cable into a pipe, removing debris and cleaning the pipe. This type of flexible cable is extremely useful for cleaning long sections of pipe, and it can turn corners without damaging the cable or the pipe.
This product is used to clean out drains and pipes of up to 100 feet, with diameters measuring between 3 and 6 inches wide. It is intended to be used by either contractors or homeowners with plumbing issues, and is listed in the Rental section of Electric Eel Manufacturing’s website as a Model R product.
This product functions by running a 3/4 inch diameter cable that is 100 feet long through the pipe. It is operated with a foot switch that extends or retracts the cable once it has been fed into the pipe. The handle of the machine is removable for better storage, and it has wheels to make it more portable. For safety and hygiene, gloves should be worn at all times when operating this product.
