How to Use Super-Vee Power Drain Cleaner

The Super-Vee drain cleaner clears clogs in sinks and toilets.

The Super-Vee drain cleaner is a professional-grade drain cleaning tool that uses an electric drill to turn a long, flexible, spring steel cable. The cable feeds down into the drain and the drill turns the cable to break up any clogs in the pipes. Various attachments fitted to the end of the cable allow the Super-Vee drain cleaner to either drill or cut through clogs or grab loose objects to remove them from the drain system. With the proper equipment, the Super-Vee drain cleaner can clean pipes for both sinks and toilets.

Things You'll Need

• Super-Vee drain cleaner

Instructions

1. Screw on the appropriate attachment to the end of the steel spring cable.

2. Plug the Super-Vee drain cleaner into a nearby wall socket. Place the tip of the spring steel cable into the drain opening.

3. Slide the grip shield at the front of the Super-Vee drain cleaner forward to release the cable and allow it to feed into the drain. Pull the cable out of the drum.

4. Slide the grip shield back against the drum to grip the cable. Push the cable into the drain as far as possible.

5. Activate the drill section of the Super-Vee drain cleaner by depressing the trigger. Start slowly at first, increasing pressure on the trigger to increase the speed. Work the cable in and out of the drain to clear any clogs.

6. Stop the drill section of the Super-Vee drain cleaner when little or no resistance is felt on the cable. Feed more cable from the drum, as needed, and continue to work the cable into the drain, using the drill section to remove any clogs, until water runs briskly through the drain.
