Background and Identification
The General Pipe Cleaners Drain Cleaner, also called the Mini-Rooter XP, is an auto-feed drain cleaning machine that is manufactured by General Pipe Cleaners, which is a division of the American family-owned company General Wire Spring Co.
This drain cleaner is capable of cleaning drains between 2 and 4 inches in diameter. It has an maximum extension length of 50 feet, and the cable is 1/2 of an inch in diameter. It features a power cable feed, which can extend and return cable to the machine at a rate of 20 feet per minute. The cleaner has several safety features, including a cable guide that means the user does not need to touch the rotating cable as the machine auto-feeds into the drain, which could cause injury. It also has thermal overload protection, which helps to keep the engine from overheating and damaging the machine. This auto-feed drain cleaner can be used for both commercial and home use. On average, an auto-feed drain cleaner can be set up and used in under 10 minutes. Gloves are required when operating this drain cleaner both for safety and hygiene.
