The pneumatic drain cleaner is used to clear blockages or clogs in drains and pipes by utilising compressed air. The pneumatic drain cleaner is designed to deliver a burst of high-pressure water into the pipe, dislodging or breaking up obstructions and allowing water to flow freely.
Key features and components of the pneumatic drain cleaner include:
-
Air Compressor: The primary component is an air compressor that generates compressed air at high pressure. The air compressor provides the force of water needed to dislodge blockages within the plumbing system.
-
Nozzles: The cleaner comes with x4 flexible nozzles that can be attached to the end. These nozzles are designed to direct the high-pressure in specific ways, optimising the effectiveness of the cleaning process.
Steps for using the pneumatic drain cleaner:
-
Prepare the Equipment: Pump the pneumatic drain cleaner around 5 times to a suitable air pressure.
-
Insert the correct Nozzle: Place the appropriate nozzle at the end of the cleaner and make sure that the area is filled with a suitable amount of water. Place the cleaner nozzle into or over the drain or pipe that needs cleaning.
-
Apply Pressure: Activate the air compressor my pulling the trigger to release a burst of high-pressure air. The force of the air will push the water around to remove any dislodges or clogs, allowing water to flow through.
-
Repeat if Necessary: In some cases, it may be necessary to repeat the process to fully clear the blockage.
-
Inspect the Drain: After using the pneumatic drain cleaner, it's advisable to inspect the drain to ensure that the blockage has been successfully cleared.
