Connecting your drain cleaning chain to your flexible shaft

Описание: This video describes the process of attaching a drain cleaning chain to a flexible shaft for descaling cast iron or vitrified clay sewer pipes.

Our drain cleaning chains mount onto a flexible shaft with set screws. You can choose between a 6mm, 8mm, 10mm or 12mm shaft depending on your needs and preference.

The hubs and chains are made from stainless steel to prevent oxidation, and they are adjustable, so you could spread the hubs further apart to clean a smaller pipe diameter.

The chains and shaft can be purchased from:

Few important things to remember:

Please be sure to lubricate your flexible shaft before the first use, and then check the lubrication every few weeks. This not only ensures the longevity of your shaft, but also makes it more efficient over longer distances. Our preference for lubricant is basic machine oil. Here is a video we made on how to lubricate your shaft:    • Видео  

Feel free to choose between a corded or a cordless drill, but make sure not to use the hammer action function on the drill because it can cause damage to your shaft.

With a flexible shaft you will be using less than 3% of the water you would need to get the same result with a hydro jetting machine. Imagine the amount of water you will save by using a flexible shaft.

Important note: We manufacture our own brand of shafts, and by chance our clients started adapting them to their Ridgid K102 or K204 sewer cleaning machines. They also informed us that our flexible shafts are a bit more rigid than the Ridgid flexshafts. We do not claim that we have a replacement shaft for a Ridgid Flexshaft.
