Ridgid 97970 3 Inch T-22 Spiral Blade

Product Description

The RIDGID 97970 is a 3-inch T-22 spiral blade designed as a replacement cutting blade for RIDGID drain cleaning equipment. The spiral blade configuration delivers aggressive cutting action through soft blockages, root intrusions, and buildup inside drain lines. Licensed plumbers and drain cleaning technicians install this blade when the original cutting element on compatible RIDGID machines shows wear or damage. Keeping a replacement blade on hand reduces downtime during service calls and maintains consistent cutting performance across jobs.

This blade is suited for use in residential and light commercial drain cleaning applications where a 3-inch cutting diameter is appropriate for the pipe size being serviced. The T-22 spiral design is a recognized RIDGID blade type used with compatible RIDGID drain cleaning machines. Install this blade when servicing floor drains, branch lines, and similar drain configurations that fall within the 3-inch cutting range.

Key Features

• 3-inch cutting diameter matches standard drain cleaning applications for branch and floor drain lines
• T-22 spiral blade geometry provides consistent cutting action through common drain obstructions
• OEM-style replacement blade maintains performance specifications of the original RIDGID component
• Blade-only format allows direct swap without replacing the full cutting assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement spiral blade for compatible RIDGID drain cleaning machines that accept the T-22 3-inch blade format. Verify machine model compatibility against RIDGID documentation before ordering.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on drain cleaning equipment should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified drain cleaning technician familiar with the specific machine model. Disconnect and de-energize the drain cleaning machine completely before removing or installing any cutting blade. Wear appropriate cut-resistant gloves when handling spiral blades, as edges are sharp. Follow the machine manufacturer's blade retention and torque guidance as outlined in the equipment service manual.
