Just slide the adjustable clamp around the motor housing – and lock it into place for safe, solid support. Adjust the Uni-Stand leg to the height desired. Then rock your machine back and forth as you feed the cable into the line.
Uni-Stand snuggly fits General’s popular Super-Vee®, Power-Vee®, and Handylectric® hand-held drain cleaners. All three are ideal for unclogging small diameter lines in sinks, tubs, and laundry drains. Uni-Stand works with many competitive machines, too!

Complete Suite Includes SharkBite and HoldRite Products Designed for Efficiency
Reliance Worldwide Corporation (RWC) is a market leader and manufacturer of water control systems and plumbing solutions for residential and commercial applications.
For plumbing business owners, the importance of building a strong team that works together seamlessly and efficiently is paramount. The same holds true for RWC’s engineers when developing water heater solutions. All products must work in concert to perform and last.
That’s why RWC offers a complete water heater installation system designed to increase productivity and durability on the job. The products, ranging from fittings and valves to tank supports, work together so users can purchase the bulk of water heater installation materials from a single source. This ensures compatibility, efficiency and quality assurance.
RWC’s water heater products, which work together as a complete solution, include:
- SharkBite Flexible Water Heater Connectors – Created with SharkBite push-to-connect ends, the water heater connectors enable quick installation. Perfect for pipes in tight spaces that don’t line up when replacing a water heater, the connectors are available in corrugated and braided hoses.
- SharkBite Thermal Expansion Relief Valve – SharkBite Thermal Expansion Relief Valve eliminate the need for an expansion tank, shut-off valve and fitting. Compatible with PEX, copper, CPVC, PE-RT, and HDPE pipe, the valve protects hot water supply systems where high-pressure conditions are likely to occur as a result of thermal expansion.
- HoldRite Water Heater Quick Stand and Platform Accessories – HoldRite water heater accessories and equipment platforms are lab-tested and some of most recognized water heater bracing and support systems in the market. The platforms safely elevate water heaters above the floor, supporting up to 100 gallons while still meeting code requirements.

RWC uses strict quality control processes and sophisticated technology in each assembly unit, so by the time products hit shelves, they’re exceeding industry standards.
Water heaters are often installed in tight, confined spaces that can be difficult to access, including closets and basements. It’s important to have a complete range of solutions from one family of brands that provides the flexibility and continuity to complete almost any type of job, regardless of space.
Products can be found at plumbing wholesalers across the U.S. and Canada. For up-to-date product availability, users are encouraged to contact their local supplier.

Adds 3 Extra Feet of Cable For Stoppages Just Beyond The Bowl
The innovative Teletube® heavy-duty closet auger from General Pipe Cleaners – the industry’s most durable closet auger – excels at clearing stoppages just beyond the bowl.
No need to pull the bowl! The Teletube carries three extra feet of Flexicore® cable telescoped inside the guide tube. Just push the button for extra cable length when you need it.

General’s Flexicore closet augers are the ideal tools for clearing clogged toilets. The strength and durability of the Flexicore cable inside make the difference.
Flexicore comprises two layers of tempered spring steel coiled tightly over a core of 49-strand wire rope – for remarkable resistance to kinking. The design is so tough, it’s guaranteed against breakage for a full year – including damage to the cable, as well as to the closet auger’s other components.
The optional down head follows bowl contours – and springs through sharply angled passages while protecting inner walls from chipping or breaking.
You’ll also want the optional Closet Auger Bag. General’s convenient carrying case puts an end to dragging dripping closet augers though homes, hospitals, and offices.
It keeps your closet auger contained and out-of-sight to and from jobs. Three vent holes let the auger dry between tasks. And thick shoulder strap keeps hands free to carry other tools.
