    Chuck Don Hermon here. Dad a retired plumber in his bad health Days at home use to look forward to all your videos especially ones with your two boys. I didn’t follow in his footsteps but went BLUE LINE OF SERVICE. I just started watching your videos after he has been gone now for year. Dad watched on his big iPad that I gave him. But he was amazed by your new tools. He praised you as an example OF A TRUE AMERICAN HERO, TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS EVERY DAY. I LAUGHED AT HIM ON HIS FINAL DAYS WHEN HE SAID TO PUT LAMP WICK IN THE LEAD AND OKUM BAG…TOOK ME A YEAR TO REMEMBER WHAT THAT WAS….PLUMB ON. JAYKEY PLUMB ON….

    Chuck, I am a Self emoloyed plumbing in Buffalo NY. (ALL-, PHASE PLUMBING, HEATING, SEWER and DRAIN CLEANING). To me its better than being a SENATOR 🤔🤔! Anyways I just purchased a Ridgid "K--,1500" the K-7500 is TOO HEAVY for me to go up and down the stairs Alone (just turned 50 in Sept) anyways I think I should have went with the machine you got I like the versatility. For me to go from 1and 1/4, cable to 7/8 cable I have to change the Jaws. I'm hurt with my back the last few weeks and I'm going Crazy staying home. My apprentice is doing the jobs he can do Wich is most of them. Thanks for the videos. I must be Crazy 😜, I have been in the Plumbing profession since I was 17 and 34 years later I watch Plumbing videos in my Free time 🤔🤔🤔

    Your drain cleaning videos are getting me closer to buying one. I’ve got the Milwaukee 1/4” drum, an old rental machine with a 50’ x 3/4” cable and that’s it. Now I’m picking up a trailer park for plumbing maintenance and I’m thinking about putting money into my pocket vs the sewer only guy. It’s common for my area for plumbers not to do this. My only limitation is that the machine I have is so heavy. This looks like a solution. Thanks Chuck for another great video! I think I’m sold.

      A k60 is more than enough torque! You can run a cheaper 3/8" Steel dragon sectional for 1 1/2" to 2" drains, and a Rigid 7/8" cable for 3" to 4" mains

    • @blt981
      @blt981 Год назад

      Try using a Rigid Flex shaft. Have to have a good Cordless Driver with 9am battery. The flex shaft are a bit expensive but like any Ridgid last and works exceptionally. The “chain knockers are unusual at first but easy to work with. Bought a Rridgid Flex 201. Amazon, payed for it in two jochst….

    Reading the comments and laughing at all the "I'd use My drum machine" which take up at least 35% of your work vans space not to mention they're heavy. These sectional machine are 100% more modular take up less space and most importantly LIGHTER. The 5208 is light years ahead of the K60 and less cumbersome than the K1500. Nice work Chuck!!!!

    Enjoy ur videos Chuck. Couple things that may help in the future. When you put the cables back in the cradle reconnect them, then when you have to pull them out on the next job you won’t have to reach into the cradle to find the next cable. Also I put the ball on my camera head closer to the lens. Maybe 2” back. Not in the middle where you had it, which could cause the lens to dip as you push. Of course experience is the best teacher so snake on.

    Hey Chuck, nice new and very sturdy looking machine! It looks like a more modern version of your other sewer machine. I know you'll have fun with it and your new camera too. I just found another drain cleaner you tube channel called Drain HQ. He cleans drains in New Zealand using snakes, a flex shaft, and a jetting machine. The plumbing there (especially the gully traps) look similar to but not exactly the same as plumbing in Australia. He explains the function of the plumbing system components in some of his videos. I've always loved looking at plumbing and drains/sewers and it's especially interesting to see the differences of how it's done in other countries. An interesting fact I learned: Melbourne's Western Sewage Treatment Plant is the largest in the world. It's lagoon treatment ponds covers more area than any other treatment plant in the world by far. Melbourne has been treating it's sewage there since 1897. It is not the largest by treatment capacity though. I think the Montreal, Quebec plant has the largest treatment capacity in the world.

    I'm using the K60SP with a 3/8" and 7/8" cable. It's the only logical option for me when cabling through a roof vent. Try carrying a drum machine up a ladder ( and yes, I've carried a Gorlitz medium machine up a ladder many times) ! One caveat, it's not fun pulling the 7/8" cable out of the vent when running over 75". Right now in Phoenix, the weather is a beautiful sunny 70deg. But doing this in the summer heat on a roof is a nightmare! I've also managed to use a large drum machine (Gorlitz) by laying it on it's back on the ground and running the cable up and through a rung on an extension ladder over the roof.

I do like the ELL the best for long runs over 50 feet because it’s cable has a center cable (2part cable) so its almost impossible to break, as oppose to the rigid which just has the one piece spring cable.

    To be honest, if you don't have enough commercial, industrial, or apartment customers, just hire a company with jetters, and bill ur customers for ×1.5 or ×2. Many plumbing companies doing that.
    Jetter is cool and much powerful than snake for sure, but, it's not a daily used plumbing machine. It ll cost you more than you know.

  • @r4h_

    From what I can see, the pipe has a lack of grade or a "belly". When the grease cools down, it solidifies, then when it reaches this belly the solids (grease) slows down and gets stuck in this section which, over time, has caused your friend a grease blockage. The best way to clear the grease is with a hydrojetter. Snake won't help, no matter what cutter you use. You might have some luck with the flexshaft. I would def give that a try, I've never personally used one before.
    Looks like the city recently installed that clean out by the curb. I know exactly what happened, I see this all the time. When the city installed their clean out, they plumbed it in to high which caused the belly. They (or you) need to replace the clean out but plumb the new one in lower. That will fix the belly.

    Bro, you should really set up the machine closer to the drain. You have too much shaft out between the drain and the driver. If it gets caught up you would be surprised how fast it can wind up and spring back at you. Its pretty dangerous. Seen some guys get smacked pretty hard doing it similar to how you were doing it. Stay safe.

He’ll also feel that tension in the cable while he’s holding it. His face isn’t that close to the cable. He’s aware of the type of sewer he’s snaking and weather or not he’ll hit any areas it could bind.

    What is a Jetter?
    What's a Sewer Jetter? Sewer jetters, also known as “hydro-jetters” or “water jetters”, are powerful drain cleaning machines that use high-pressure water jets to clear obstructions in residential and commercial drain pipes as well as larger municipal sewer systems. What is a Jetter used for?What is sewer jetting?
    Hydro jetting (sometimes called sewer jetting) is an innovative method plumbers use to maintain the health of the plumbing system and to completely clear out the inside of pipes - even stubborn and hazardous main line clogs
    A sewer jetter is a heavy duty lightweight hose that attaches to a pressure washer to unclog: Main Drains. Landscaping drains. Sewer line What is a jetter hose?
    SEWER JETTING HOSE
    Its' bonded construction features a tight bend radius that resists kinking for better cornering, bending and twisting. A tough Polyurethane cover resists abrasion and fungus for sewer jetters. Sewer jetter hose is available for 2500 psi, 3000 psi, and 4000 psi operating pressure. What is hydro jetting sewer lines?
    The principle of hydro-jetting sewer lines involves the use of extremely high-pressure water to obliterate blockages. Threaded deep into the sewer pipe at the end of a thin, flexible water line, the head contains tiny jets that dispense hot water at knife-like pressure up to 4000 p.s.i.What is hydro jet cleaning?
    Hydro Jet. A hydro jet is a more sophisticated plumbing tool for clearing drains. It consists of a high-pressure hose with special nozzles that can be attached to the terminal end. It connects to a machine that pressurizes the water, whose force is what makes the drain free from clogs. Can Hydro jetting damage pipes?
    While hydro jetting is a great option in most cases, it can pack a powerful force. If you have older, more fragile pipes, the water pressure could cause damage in some areas. ... They can scope out the state of your pipes and take down the pressure to prevent damage or other issues.

    You got the skid! Nice. You want to position the skid all the way at the front of the spring, closer to the camera head. That way it thoroughly props the camera head up and out of the gunk.
    The skid will also help if you ever need to get a different camera angle. For example, if the camera is positioned in a way that is making it hard to see the top of pipe, give an ever so slightly tug backwards, and it will tilt/angle the camera lense upwards so you can see the top of pipe. Vice versa to angle the lense forward to get better visual of the bottom of pipe.
    Hope that makes sense. Plumb on brotha!
    PS. If you're going to buy a jetter, DEF buy US Jetter.
    PSS. I'm currently looking for a new employer. Wish you were in California! Sad face.
