Ridgid Drain Cleaner K-45AF

The Ridgid Drain Cleaner K-45AF is a tool used for the purpose of unclogging various types of drains, such as those found in sinks, tubs, showers, lavatories, and urinals. Its design incorporates an AUTOFEED control which allows users to both advance and retract the cable without altering the motor's direction, thereby maintaining cleanliness in the user's hands and workspace.

The K-45AF's power unit features a motor with variable speed, capable of rotating the cable at rates between 0 and 600 RPM. It is encased in a lightweight plastic housing and the total weight of the unit is approximately 11 pounds. The drain cleaner is equipped with a steel cable, 25 feet long and 5/16" in diameter, which is wound around a plastic drum inside a removable sealed canister. The canister is designed to prevent water leakage and minimize cable tangling. The tool operates on a 120V, 60Hz electric power source. The operation involves placing the base of the unit on the floor near the drain, feeding the cable into the drain opening, and activating the motor to rotate the cable, which then removes the clog. Regular inspections and replacement of the cable and drum are suggested to maintain the tool's performance. The K-45AF is produced by the Ridgid Tool Company, an Ohio-based company that specializes in professional plumbing tools.
