Prototype Finished

Prototype completed ... If you don't understand,  go on the blog archive and open an earlier post, "another drain cleaning tool". Or if you want to see all tools just scroll down.

Total package as stored in truck!
Good for single bowl or multiple bowls.

Shown Below With Accessories:



Double hose connection 5', vacuum breaker [safe plumbing], support pipe, hose tread to aireator male/female adapter, plug in end so parts don't fall out and the last item chain stay? It is possible that the front end of the snake could weigh more than the tail end, especially when a couple of cables are vertical like in a 2nd floor entry. It is possible that when the snake is disconnected at the wall to install the
boot the snake could be pulled into the piping. If that were to occur then you would be pissed off at Parr. So the rule is secure the snake with the chain, personally I will have a small pair of locking pliers to hold the cable while it is vulnerable until I get the chain on. Using on a double bowl you won't need the 2nd bibb. On a single bowl water can be drawn from the faucet using the hose and vacuum breaker. Assume water will be entering through the branch on the wye. Water going in should drain away when the drain is properly opened. A lot of water coming from the 2nd bibb into a container would show an non-opened drain. In any event when finished the snake should come out clean. And you will only have removed and reinstalled
the trap one time. I am looking forward to learning from "DAS BOOT"
Happy drain opening!   Caution this is not a tool for Stupid Users
