General Pipe Cleaners redefines high-speed, flexshaft technology with the new Flexi-Rooter 100 drain cleaner — the next-generation flexible-shaft machine.General added an integral motor, stronger rod and unique ClogChopper cutters to a durable metal, easily maneuverable frame. General’s stronger, stiffer rod is flexible enough to get though 2-inch lines, yet strong enough to cut roots in 4-inch drainlines up to 75 feet down the line. It’s powered by an integral variable-speed motor that lets you adjust the speed from zero to 2,200 rpm. With the foot pedal you have both hands free to safely guide the rod into the line. You can use the Flexi-Rooter simultaneously with your sewer inspection camera system to pinpoint trouble spots in the line and instantly view your results.General’s innovative, two-part cleaning array combines its unique ClogChopper cutters with carbide-tipped chain cutters. ClogChoppers rip through tough stoppages with six self-sharpening blades that dig into encrusted debris and root masses, easily grinding up stubborn clogs. General couples the ClogChoppers to stainless steel and carbide-tipped chain cutters. Together, they make a formidable combination, capable of boring through tough stoppages and scale, shredding obstructions and scouring pipe walls clean.The durable metal frame includes 10-inch wheels and a folding handle to make it easier to get the machine smoothly to and from the job. A safety slip clutch helps protect the rod. But if you ever do get into trouble, the rod is field repairable.For more information, visit www.drainbrain.com/flexi-rooter, or call the Drain Brains at 800-245-6200.

Contractors know that General Pipe Cleaners’ Speedrooter 92 really can take a beating — from its frame braced at key stress points, to General’s exclusive Flexicore wire rope center cable that’s so tough it carries a one-year warranty.The Speedrooter 92’s field-tested design offers easy handling. One person can easily load it onto a truck, as the machine slides smoothly from the loading wheel to the handle to the stair climbers and finally to the wheels. The adjustable height handle can be reset to be 3 inches longer or more compact, depending on your preference.For more information, contact the Drain Brains at General at 800-245-6200 or visit www.drainbrain.com.

Flood-Guard from General Pipe Cleaners prevents basement flooding. It operates like a check valve to seal off water backup caused by overloaded sewers. The Flood-Guard can be installed in minutes. A screwdriver is all you need. Once in place, it can prevent property damage and a very messy cleanup job. Float models are available in 2-, 3- and 4-inch sizes.For extreme, extended pressure (for instance, where homemade seals have popped out of the line) the standpipe models are recommended. Standpipe models are available in 3- and 4-inch sizes. The 4-inch Standpipe Flood-Guard is threaded to receive 1 1/2-inch IPS pipe. On the 3-inch model, the pipe is slipped through the rubber gasket before the screws are fully tightened. Gaskets are made of molded rubber, and all metal parts are plated or stainless steel.For more information, visit www.drainbrain.com/floodguard, or call the Drain Brains at 800-245-6200.

It's a hand tool. It's a power tool. It's both!Clearing clogged sink, tub and laundry drains is easier with the PD-25 Auto Handy from General Pipe Cleaners. General miniaturized its big machine power cable feed and put it on the Handy to give you feeding speed and convenience you haven’t seen before in a hand operated drain cleaner. Operate the PD-25 Auto Handy as a hand tool or a power tool. Simply remove the turning handle and attach a 3/8- or 1/2-inch electric drill for extra muscle on tough clogs.To feed the cable, just squeeze the feed lever as the container rotates; to retract it, reverse the rotation and squeeze the lever. The feed handles 1/4-, 5/16- and 3/8-inch cables. No adjustment, disassembly or additional parts required.With a capacity of 50 feet of 1/4- or 5/16-inch and up to 35 feet of 3/8-inch Flexicore cable, the PD-25 Auto Handy easily clears clogs in sink, shower, toilet and laundry drainlines from 1 1/4- to 3-inch in diameter.Designed to take the toughest field abuse, the sturdy plastic container has been drop tested from 8 feet — fully loaded — without damage. That’s more than twice the height of a standard test.Of course, the drain cables are Flexicore — with an integral wire rope center. Flexicore cables are coiled tightly over a core of aircraft-type wire rope, then heat-treated — giving the cables outstanding strength without sacrificing flexibility. Flexicore cables come with a regular head or a down head to maneuver the cable through tight bends. Nobody makes cables like General.For more information, visit drainbrain.com/en/products/pd-25.

For instance, you can remove the drum in seconds for more portability or to switch to a different diameter cable — with no mess and no lost time.

An optional Power Cable Feed drives and retracts the cable at up to 16 feet per minute.The drum carries up to 75 feet of 3/8-inch cable to clear 2- to 3-inch lines, or 50 feet of 1/2-inch cable for heavier work in 4-inch lines. For small drain work, you can order your Mini-Rooter Pro with a J-Drum for handling smaller, more flexible 1/4- and 5/16-inch 50-foot cables.For more information, call the Drain Brains at General at 800-245-6200.
