K-45 Sink Machine

The K-45 Sink Machine is designed to quickly open clogged tub lines, allowing for cable advancement and retrieval without reversing the motor. It is ideal for small line cleaning, addressing blockages in lavatory, sink lines, urinals, and tub/shower drains.

Recommended Cable Usage:

The K-45 is available in two styles: Manual and AUTOFEED®. The Manual version features a slide action chuck for quick cable locking and releasing. The AUTOFEED version utilizes an advanced two-way AUTOFEED trigger, keeping hands and the work area clean by advancing and retrieving cable with a simple lever push.

Key features include: lightweight design, ease of use with no setup required, variable speed power unit rotating cable from 0-600 RPMs, and a two-piece twist lock canister with an interchangeable inner drum. This design simplifies cable changes and matches the right cable to the job. The inner drum prevents water leaks and reduces cable flip-over. Drums are rust-proof and dent-resistant.

The 3/8" cable in Model K-45AF-5 and K-45AF-7 extends the machine's capacity to 2 1/2" drain lines.
