Pipe Cleaning Machine RIDGID K-1500B-SE (27597) size 2 - 8 inches, cleans up to 61 meters
The finest "sectional" drain and sewer cleaning machine, capable of tackling the heaviest and most severe blockages with ease. A single operator can run it both indoors and outdoors. High-speed cleaning gets the job done faster and more efficiently.

The machine is equipped with wheels for easy transport to the job site and can be set up quickly. In addition, the low-profile "B" frame design allows the machine to fit easily into tight spaces or crawl spaces and makes loading/unloading from trucks convenient. For indoor applications, the upright "A" frame also provides storage for cable carrier cages during transport.

The K-1500B-SE comes with an extremely powerful 3/4 horsepower (HP) motor that spins cables at high speeds of 591-710 RPM. A key feature is the instant-acting cable clutch, which provides the operator with precise control over cable rotation. Push down on the handle to spin the cable; release it to stop instantly, maximizing job safety.

This machine can accommodate two main cable sizes; part code 27597 typically comes with 1 1/4 inch (32 mm) cables, and can also be easily adapted to 7/8 inch (22 mm) cables simply by changing the clutch jaw set.

Considerations
- Heavy weight: Due to the machine's relatively heavy weight (over 100 kg), moving it may require multiple people or assistive equipment.
- Large size: The machine is large, ideal for heavy-duty work, but not suitable for very confined spaces.
- Sectional cable management: As with other sectional machines, connecting and disconnecting individual cable sections can be time-consuming and messier than drum machines.
- Price: It is RIDGID's top-tier tool for large-diameter pipe work, so the price naturally reflects its performance.
- Operating complexity: Even with an easy-to-use clutch, controlling such a large, powerful machine may require experience and expertise.
