Drain cleaning cable GEKO G73150, 9 mm diameter × 5 m length

The GEKO G73150 drain cleaning cable is a compact tool for clearing household drains and small pipes. With a 9 mm diameter and a 5 m working length, this flexible cable is intended for manual use in sinks, bathtubs and short runs of waste plumbing. It is suitable for removing hair, soap scum, food debris and other light obstructions from domestic drainage systems without the need for powered equipment.

Advantages

The slim 9 mm profile allows the cable to enter narrow waste traps and pop-up drain openings while remaining stiff enough to push through minor bends. Its 5 m length covers common household runs from fixtures to short vertical drops or nearby inspection points. The manual operation requires no power source, making the cable portable and ready for quick spot repairs and routine maintenance. Its compact size simplifies storage in a utility cabinet or toolbox.

Suitable for

• Clearing hair and soap residue from bathroom sink and bathtub drains
• Removing food particles and light blockages from kitchen sink waste lines
• Maintenance of small-diameter domestic plumbing and traps
• Quick spot repairs where access and length requirements are limited

Key specifications

• Cable diameter: 9 mm
• Working length: 5 m
• Material: flexible metal drain cable (hand-operated)
• Intended use: manual drain clearing for household fixtures
• Compatibility: suitable for narrow waste openings and short drain runs

How to use

Insert the cable end into the drain opening and advance it gently while rotating to engage accumulated hair and debris. When resistance is felt, continue rotating and apply steady push-and-pull movements to dislodge the obstruction. Withdraw the cable periodically to remove caught material and flush the drain with water to verify flow. Avoid forcing the cable into fixed metal components; use only manual pressure and controlled rotation to prevent damage to fixtures.

Usage recommendations

Wear gloves to protect hands from contaminants and residues removed from the drain. After use, rinse the cable with water and dry before storing to reduce corrosion. For persistent or deep blockages, or if the plumbing layout is unknown, consult a professional plumber to avoid causing further damage.
