Pasco BG Boring Gimlet Auger 5/16 to 3/8 Inch Cables

Product Description

The PASCO BG is a boring gimlet, also known as an auger-style drain cleaning head, designed for use with 5/16 to 3/8 inch drain cables. This tool attaches to the end of a compatible snake cable and uses a pointed, spiral tip to bore through soft to medium obstructions in drain lines. It is well suited for residential and light commercial plumbing drain service work. At 0.2 pounds, it is a lightweight accessory that plumbers and drain service technicians add to their cable machine setups when a boring or piercing action is needed rather than a cutting or retrieval action.

The BG boring gimlet is used in drain cleaning applications where the technician needs to punch through or break apart soft blockages such as grease buildup, soap accumulation, or decomposed organic matter. It is typically deployed in smaller drain lines found in sinks, tubs, and floor drains. The 5/16 to 3/8 inch cable compatibility makes it appropriate for hand-held drum machines and smaller sectional cable equipment commonly used in residential service calls.

Installation Notes

Installation of drain cable accessories should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified drain service technician. Before attaching or removing any cable head, ensure the cable machine is fully powered off and the cable is relaxed and not under tension. Secure the gimlet firmly to the cable end per the cable manufacturer's attachment method to prevent separation inside the drain line. Follow all applicable plumbing codes, including local amendments to the IPC, when performing drain service work.
