Drain Cleaning Spiral Cable AWTools AWTOOLS SPIRALA 10 mm diameter, 7 m length

The AWTools AWTOOLS SPIRALA drain cleaning spiral cable is a 10 mm diameter, 7 m long flexible metal cable designed for manual removal of blockages in household drainage and sewer lines. Built to transfer rotational force from a hand-held drum or manual feed, the spiral cable reaches into sinks, showers and small-diameter waste pipes to dislodge hair, grease and other debris. The cable’s construction balances flexibility for navigating bends with sufficient stiffness to transmit torque and pull out obstructions.

Advantages

The spiral cable offers a compact, easy-to-handle solution for routine domestic drain maintenance without power tools. Its 10 mm diameter provides a combination of flexibility and strength suited to narrow pipes, while the 7 m length extends reach to reach deeper blockages in household installations. The metal spiral is corrosion-resistant for typical domestic environments and designed for repeated manual use with standard hand drums and manual feed mechanisms.

Suitable for

• Clearing hair and soap scum from bathroom sinks, shower trays and bathtub drains
• Removing grease and food debris from kitchen sink waste pipes
• Unblocking short runs of small-diameter household sewer and drainage pipes
• Maintenance tasks using hand-held drum or manual feed drain cleaning tools

Key specifications

• Diameter: 10 mm
• Length: 7 m
• Material: flexible metal spiral designed for torque transmission
• Compatibility: intended for manual drum and hand-feed drain cleaning tools
• Application environment: domestic sinks, showers, bathtubs and small waste pipes

How to use

Insert the spiral cable into the drain opening and advance it by hand while rotating the cable from a compatible hand drum or manual feed. When resistance is met, apply gentle rotational force to engage and break up the blockage, then withdraw the cable slowly to extract loosened material. Clean the cable after use and wipe dry before rewinding onto the drum to prevent corrosion and maintain smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

Use personal protective gloves and, where appropriate, eye protection. Avoid forcing the cable in rigid metal-to-metal contact with pipe fittings to prevent damage to pipe surfaces and the cable itself. For persistent or deep-seated blockages in larger drain systems, consult a professional drain service.
