Standard Equipment
All K-45 Drain Cleaning Machines come with one pair of
RIDGID Drain Cleaning gloves.
The K-45 drain cleaner is protected under various U.S.
and International patents, including 7,685,669.
This machine is made to clean drains. If prop-
erly used it will not damage a drain that is in good condi-
tion and properly designed, constructed and maintained.
If the drain is in poor condition, or has not been properly
designed, constructed and maintained, the drain cleaning
process may not be effective or could cause damage to
the drain. The best way to determine the condition of a
drain before cleaning is through visual inspection with a
camera. Improper use of this drain cleaner can damage
the drain cleaner and the drain. This machine may not
clear all blockages.
