General Pipe Cleaners’ Super Vee power drain-cleaning machine is designed for small line stoppages. The unit unclogs sink, shower, toilet and laundry lines up to three inches in diameter. Many of the machines last for 10, 20, or even 30 years without replacement.

General’s quick, convenient Slide-Action chuck engages and releases Flexicore cable with a simple push or pull of Super-Vee’s Grip-Shield – even while the cable rotates.

The chuck also automatically adjusts to ¼-inch through 3/8-inch diameter cables. And General’s quick-change cartridges let users switch or clean cables without delay or mess.

Flexicore cables are left hand coiled over a wire rope core and then heat-treated. General’s design gives cables outstanding strength without sacrificing flexibility. And Flexicore carries a one-year warranty against breakage.

Powered by a variable speed motor, Super-Vee carries up to 50 feet of ¼-inch or 5/16-inch, or 35 feet of 3/8-inch Flexicore cable. A wide range of cables and cutters is available, too. Accessories include the novel Handy-Stand and Uni-Stand to facilitate working in cramped spots.
