Drano 12738 Foaming Drain Cleaner 17 Oz

Product Description

The DRANO 12738 is a professional-strength foaming drain cleaner formulated to break up and clear stubborn clogs in household and light-commercial drain lines. Unlike standard liquid drain cleaners, the 12738 expands into a thick foam that fills the entire pipe diameter, reaching hair, grease, soap scum, and organic buildup along pipe walls that liquid products flow past without contacting. Each 17-ounce container is safe for all pipe materials and compatible with septic systems. Plumbers and drain service technicians use this product for routine maintenance calls and clog-clearing service work where a fast, chemical-based solution is appropriate.

The 12738 is effective on both kitchen and bathroom drains, targeting the most common clog types: grease and food residue in kitchen lines and hair and soap buildup in lavatory and tub-shower drains. The foaming action is designed to extend drain-clear intervals longer than standard liquid drain openers, reducing callback frequency on maintenance accounts. The single-dose, pour-and-wait application requires no special equipment, making it practical for technicians to include in a standard service kit.
