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
properly used it will not damage a drain that is in good
condition and properly designed, constructed and main-
tained. 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 con-
dition of a drain before cleaning is through visual inspec-
tion with a camera. Improper use of this drain cleaner can
damage the drain cleaner and the drain. This machine
may not clear all blockages.
