General Pipe Cleaners’ Kinetic Water Ram Uses Compressed Air to Clear Lines
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.
Environmentally friendly, the compact, portable tool is cleaner than snakes – and safer than chemicals. It requires no electrical power or CO2 gas. It’s designed for plumbing, drain cleaning, maintenance, and rental applications.
Lightweight and economical, Kinetic Water Ram generates a shock wave that instantly pulverizes stoppages in 1-1/4-inch to 4-inch lines, yet won’t harm pipes, according to General Pipe Cleaners.
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 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.
