Sectional Drain Cleaners 1-1/4" – 4"
Root 66
Uses Sectional Cables for 1-1/4" thru 4"
®
The Root 66 is a real advance in sectional cable machine
design. No mid-range machine has its versatility and power.
You can drive 5/8" cables for lines up to 3" and 7/8"
cables for 4" lines – and you can switch from one to the
other in seconds, without touching the jaws, without an
adapter, without tools. And for sink drain work, slip on a
drum that holds smaller cables.
To operate, just feed a cable into the line and slide the
back end into the machine. The excess cable goes into a
guide tube. Turn on the sealed motor, press down on the
handle, and the Root 66 starts spinning the cable at
400 rpm.
The cable stops rotating as soon as you lift the handle, so
there’s no additional torque buildup. When using a drum
for small drain work, the drum stops turning when you lift
the handle to the neutral position.
