Drain Cleaning Cable GEKO G73156 — 9 mm diameter, 15 m length

Cable for drain cleaning GEKO G73156 — 9 mm diameter, 15 m length is a flexible steel drain cable intended for mechanical removal of blockages in household and light commercial drainage systems. The 9 mm diameter and 15 m working length provide reach into most domestic waste and soil pipe runs while remaining manageable for hand-held or machine-driven drain cleaning tools. Its construction balances flexibility to pass through bends with sufficient stiffness to transmit torque for cutting and pulling debris such as hair, grease and small solids.

Advantages

The cable is made from tempered steel that resists kinking while maintaining the flexibility needed to navigate typical pipe curves. A 9 mm diameter offers a compromise between strength and manoeuvrability, suitable for common 32–50 mm waste pipes and similar systems. The 15 m length allows access to deeper blockages without changing sections, and the cable end can be fitted to a range of compatible rotary or handheld drain cleaning tools for both push-and-rotate and pull-through operations.

Suitable for

• Clearing hair and soap residue from bathroom sinks and shower drains
• Removing grease and small debris from kitchen sink traps and waste lines
• Accessing obstructions in residential or small commercial soil and waste pipes
• Use with compatible manual or powered drain cleaning machines and hand-held rotors

Key specifications

• Material: flexible tempered steel cable
• Outer diameter: 9 mm
• Length: 15 m working length
• Compatible with: standard drain cleaning rotary and hand-held tools (ensure matching connector type)
• Designed for: domestic and light commercial drainage systems

How to use

Insert the cable into the drain or access point and feed it forward until resistance from the blockage is felt. Attach the cable to the selected manual or powered drain cleaning tool following the tool manufacturer's instructions and apply steady torque or push–pull action to break up or entangle the obstruction. Withdraw the cable periodically to clear accumulated debris and avoid excessive bending near sharp fittings. After use, clean the cable surface and dry before storage to reduce corrosion risk.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Match the cable diameter to pipe size—9 mm is suited for common domestic waste pipes; avoid forcing the cable through very narrow or severely damaged pipes. When using powered tools, operate at low speed until the blockage is engaged, then increase torque as needed, and follow the tool manufacturer's safety guidelines.
