General Wire Spring L50FL1ADH Flexicore Drain Cable 50 Ft

Product Description

The GENERAL WIRE SPRING L50FL1ADH is a 50-foot by 5/16-inch down-head Flexicore replacement cable designed for hand-operated drain cleaning tools. The cable is built from heavy-gauge wire coiled tightly around a 42-strand aircraft-type wire rope core, then heat treated for added durability. This construction delivers high tensile strength combined with the controlled flexibility needed to navigate bends in residential and light commercial drain lines. Handles are sold separately. Licensed plumbers and drain cleaning technicians are the primary installers of this cable.

This replacement cable is used in hand drain machines for clearing stoppages in sink, tub, shower, and floor drain lines. The down-head tip configuration is suited for working through P-traps and horizontal runs where a leading hook or auger head is not required. The 5/16-inch diameter makes it appropriate for smaller-diameter drain lines typically found in residential plumbing systems. It is intended as a direct replacement cable when the original cable on a hand tool becomes kinked, fatigued, or broken.

Installation Notes

Installation of drain cleaning cables is typically performed by licensed plumbers or drain cleaning technicians. Before loading the cable into the tool drum, confirm the tool is unpowered and the drum locking mechanism is disengaged. Feed the cable slowly and avoid forcing it against blockages at sharp angles, which can cause kinking or premature fatigue. Inspect the cable for kinks, breaks, or corrosion before each use and retire damaged cable immediately.
