? A pipe cleaning spiral can help you. We show you what is important in the right pipe cleaning spiral.In our checklist you will find a lot of helpful information and our product recommendations have different products ready for you.
- Commercial pipe cleaning spirals are suitable for drains of all types.
- Whether in the bathroom or in the kitchen, they can help to remove blockages.
- However,caution is advised for toilets. Here you should choose a spiral that is covered with a protective layer such as rubber. Metallic spirals could damage the ceramic of the toilet.
- Most lighter clogs can be cleared with a 6 mm diameter pipe cleaning spiral.
- Basically, the larger the diameter of the spiral, the more force can be exerted. Thus, pipe cleaning spirals of 10 mm or more can usually clear even the most stubborn blockages.
- The range includes pipe cleaning spirals with a diameter of 6 mm, 9 mm or 10 mm. For larger pipes, such as rain gutters, there are spirals with a diameter of 16 mm, 22 mm and 32 mm.
- You have the choice between a brush, a spiral basket or a claw.
- Pipe cleaning spirals with a brush are ideal for preventing blockages. They clean the inner surfaces of the pipes and can also loosen and thus remove lighter blockages.
- A spiral basket can also help with lighter blockages. It is very suitable for the removal of hair.
- For stubborn clogs, you should go for a pipe cleaning spiral with a claw. You can “dig” into the plugs that are causing the blockage, so to speak.
- Most pipe cleaning spirals are made of spring steel wire . If the wire is also galvanized, this significantly increases the life of the spiral.
- The zinc alloy prevents the material from being affected by chemical cleaning agents.
- Pipe cleaning spirals that have a drum magazine are particularly convenient.
- Only as much wire is unwound as you need at any given time, and it automatically rewinds after use.
- Alternatively, some models have a very simple storage basket compared to the drum magazine.
- For common household use, a spiral with a length of about 10 m is sufficient, which can be turned with a hand crank or knob.
- You will achieve more efficiency if you can drive the spiral with a drill.
