Background

The Ridgid K-30 Drain Cleaner is a machine manufactured by the Ridgid Tool Company, intended for the purpose of unclogging drains. This product, which was launched in 2009, is suitable for clearing blockages in sinks, bathtubs, and showers. The device can be used on drains with diameters ranging from 3/4 inch (19 mm) to 1-1/2 inches (38 mm).

The Ridgid K-30 Drain Cleaner possesses various features, such as an AUTOFEED system that automatically feeds and retrieves the cable, minimizing interaction with dirty cables. A rotating guide tube is included, which spins the cable, aiding in navigating tight bends and reducing cable wear. The cleaner has a bulb-head cable, which is created not to scratch fixtures or pipes, making it suitable for use on chrome and plastic pipes. With its compact size and weight of 11 lbs, it can be easily transported and maneuvered in confined spaces. The K-30 is designed to aid in clearing sink, tub, and shower drains, but it is not recommended for toilet drains. The Ridgid K-30 Drain Cleaner was introduced in 2009 as an upgrade to the smaller K-15 drain cleaner, and it belongs to the Ridgid range of drain cleaning tools.
