The powerful, portable Model DRZ-PH power drain cleaner from General Pipe Cleaners quickly and cleanly clears clogged sink, tub, and laundry drains in 1-1/4” to 3” lines.

Weighing just 30 lbs., the lightweight, compact machine features a variable speed power cable feed for optimal control feeding and retrieving cable at up to 16 ft. per minute. General’s 4 ft. guide tube and pneumatic foot pedal substantially minimize operator contact with wet, spinning cable during drain cleaning. So hands and jobsites stay clean and safe.

Operate the Model DRZ-PH horizontally on kitchen counters – or vertically on the floor next to tubs. It’s stable both ways. The silent motor won’t disturb others, either. And the convenient carry handle atop the frame facilitates transport to and from jobs.

The rust resistant aluminum drum carries up to 50’ of 1/4” or 5/16”, or 35’ of 3/8” Flexicore® wire rope center cable. General’s quick-change cartridge system lets operators switch to a different diameter cable without pulling old cable from the drum. And the Model DRZ-PH comes with the new Band-It™ splashguard to minimize excess water spray from the spinning drum.

Flexicore cable offers superior kink resistance and unequalled strength with the right amount of flexibility. It’s so tough that it carries a one year warranty against breakage. For more information, contact the Drain Brains® at General Pipe Cleaners at 800-245-6200 or 412-771-6300, or visit www.drainbrain.com.

It’s Three Machines In One

With the versatility to handle 1-1/4” to 4” drain lines, General Pipe Cleaners’ Root 66® is three machines in one!

Designed to clear practically any inside or rooftop drain, the Root 66 power drain cleaner uses 5/8″ or 7/8″ sectional cables interchangeably. There’s no need for special adapters or tools to switch from one cable size to the other.

Need to clear sinks and other small drain lines? Get the optional drum with smaller 1/4″, 5/16”, or 3/8” continuous Flexicore® cables. Just slide onto the back of Root 66, and you’re ready to go!

A General exclusive, optional 7/8″ Proflex® sectional cables (15R10-P) sport an inner spring. It gives the cable greater strength to transfer extra torque down the line for additional cutting power.

And now you can quickly and cleanly use sectional drain cleaners in confined and hard-to-access areas with General’s 5’ by 7/8” (5R-10) Force Multiplier™ sectional cable. It offers better control to reduce the risks of spraying walls, floors, and furniture from exposed wet, spinning cables.

Operating Root 66 is easy. Depress the drive handle for plenty of cable torque from the 1/2 hp capacitor motor. Release the drive handle and the cable immediately stops rotating – for no additional torque build-up. A wide, four-point base provides excellent stability. And General’s compact, powerful drain cleaner is easy to transport and maneuver.

Other accessories include cable carriers and a toolbox. Standard equipment includes a ground fault circuit interrupter, double palm leather gloves, rear guide hose, and General’s tradition of quality, performance and reliability.

Easier, More Economical Way to Locate Leakage The Gen-Ear LE® from General Pipe Cleaners provides a simple, more economical water leak locator with stronger sound amplification than competitive systems offer.

Easier, More Economical Way to Locate Leakage

The Gen-Ear LE® from General Pipe Cleaners provides a simple, more economical water leak locator with stronger sound amplification than competitive systems offer.

Gen-Ear LE can pinpoint water leaks in residential and commercial water lines – including problems in walls and under concrete slabs, swimming pools, and hot tubs.

General’s compact amplifier fits easily in the palm of your hand – providing noise-free amplification with built-in, preset audio filters to eliminate settings guesswork.

High performance headphones with noise cancellation also block interference from ambient noise. And when released, an amplifier safety button mutes sudden loud noises.

Gen-Ear LE’s advanced acoustic ground sensor accurately detects the gurgling or hammering of water escaping from cracked pipes under concrete, asphalt, or tile. Probe rods pinpoint problems beneath soft surfaces like grass or carpet. And the magnetic attachment locates above ground pipe or hydrant leaks.

For especially hard-to-find leaks, the Sound Amplification Module adds air to the line, increasing water pressure and amplifying leak sounds to aid precise problem location.

Two AA batteries power Gen-Ear LE for 20 or more hours. To extend battery life, the system automatically shuts down when headphones are removed. And the power light blinks to indicate low batteries.

Made In America For More Than 50 Years

Don’t be fooled by imitations! More than 50 years of technical advancements made rugged, all-metal Kinetic Water Ram® from General Pipe Cleaners the choice for quickly clearing clogged lines with the power of compressed air.

Just pump it up, insert into a drain – and snap the trigger. It’s that fast.

Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable tool is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. It requires no electrical power or CO2 gas. And it’s great for plumbing, drain cleaning, maintenance, and rental applications.

Lightweight and economical, futuristic Kinetic Water Ram generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4” to 4” lines – yet won’t harm pipes.

The shock wave bypasses vents and bends to batter clogs. And the built-in pump and pressure gauge lets operators choose the right amount of force for each job.

An optional toilet attachment screws onto the front of Kinetic Water Ram, turning it into a powerful plunger. The specially designed accessory precisely positions in bowls for a tight seal, hitting blockages with maximum impact – and no splash back.

General’s sleek, plated Kinetic Water Ram comes in a sturdy carrying case with molded compartments for the tool and accessories. A Schraeder valve for use with an external air compressor when clearing difficult blockages is also provided.
