Sewer cable, its use
Sewer cleaning cable is a wire in which several layers of wire of smaller diameter are wound in the form of a spiral. In order to increase the thickness of the cable, they are imposed in different directions from the axis. To produce this tool, high-strength steel of St-70 grade is used, which can withstand loads with a speed of less than 3500 rpm.
When selecting the tool that performs the cleaning, you need to consider the type of sewage drainage, and in accordance with this, choose its diameter.
The device is equipped with a special handle that provides convenience in work, makes it possible to perform cleaning in hard-to-reach and poorly passable places - knees, tees, bends. This universal tool can be purchased at any construction shop or market.
Manufacture of the cable with
- . To make this tool, take a flexible cable of considerable thickness, bend the end and separate the fibers of the
- wire. To make rotational movements on the other end, the
- ring is put on. For ease of making, a piece of plastic pipe or wrapped in a rigid material is passed to the middle of the cable. This will prevent skin damage in the
process. To perform the cleaning, the tool is held by the middle part, screwing it in and pushing it into the drain hole by turning the handle with the free hand. The versatility of this simple device makes it possible to use it for cleaning chimneys, heating systems, water pipes, etc.
Instruction for use
The cable for cleaning the sewer should be used according to this principle:
- The end of the wire is installed in the drain hole and rotating in the clockwise direction witha small effort is pushed into the
- pipeline. After eliminating the blockage and restoring the pipe, the system is flushed and operated with a jig
- . Then into the drain holeThey use about 10 liters of boiling water
To combat clogs of a different nature, which are poorly eliminated by a conventional cable, various nozzles are used: the bottom is used to remove sediment from mud and mud; the tip-hook is used to extract contaminants in the form of hair, pieces of cloth, etc.,Breakdown nozzle breaks old precipitations, springs and spirals are needed to clean the seal.
Usually household obstructions of sewerage systems are easily eliminated without installation of attachments, but for the cleaning of boiler installations or pipelines of the established diameter their application is very expedient.
Wire for sewerage
As well as a cable for cleaning the sewer, the wire is actively used in the fight against blockages. Use it for pipelines with a diameter of less than 250 mm. If the diameters of the pipes are more than 350 mm, the impurities, in addition to the wire, are eliminated by washing with water.
Application Instruction:
- The wire with the end-mounted nozzle
- is placed in the drain hole of the pipe clamped by the clamp.
- is removed from the bottom of the bottom of the
fork. The tool is clamped and moved forward and backward
The disadvantage of this tool is its relativesmall strength, which significantly reduces the efficiency of the work done. In view of the fact that the wire constantly makes springing movements, it is very difficult to get the places of blockage.
Flexible shaft and strip for cleaning the sewer
With respect to the wire, it is better to use flexible shafts in order to clean the sewage systems. Their design is a metal cable of large diameter, on which a rigid wire wound with a diameter of 5 mm is spirally wound. The length of such a tool can reach 60 m, and the total diameter is about 30 mm.
Tapes are used for the same purposes as the cable for cleaning the sewer. They are rigid and strong pieces of steel with a width of 25 mm and a thickness of 3 mm, equipped with a handle to ensure the convenience of work in pipelines of great length.
Different tools can be used for each specific sewage obstruction. They effectively carry out the removal of impurities at home. In order for the system to work reliably and not to malfunction, it is necessary to periodically perform preventive cleaning.
