Description

The RIDGID K-750 Drum Machine (Model 47047) clears lateral lines with a 1/2 HP induction motor and AUTOFEED cable control, advancing and retrieving cable at up to 20 ft per minute. The corrosion-resistant drum holds 100′ of 3/4″ cable or 125′ of 5/8″ cable, and switching between the two takes no tools.

AUTOFEED Cable Control

A single lever advances or retrieves the cable, so the operator isn’t feeding cable by hand while also managing the drum. At up to 20 ft per minute, AUTOFEED cuts the setup and retrieval time that adds up across a full day of service calls. The 200 RPM cable speed supplies the cutting action needed to get through roots, grease, and hardened deposits. Because the feed is mechanical rather than hand-fed, cable speed stays consistent from the first foot to the last, which matters when you’re working through a long lateral run and can’t afford the cable to bind or kink partway through.

Choosing Between 3/4″ and 5/8″ Cable

The RIDGID K-750 runs either cable size without tools, and the right choice depends on the line, not just preference. 3/4″ cable holds up better against heavy roots and larger diameter lines, common on commercial laterals and older clay or cast iron pipe. 5/8″ cable is more maneuverable through tighter bends and smaller diameter residential lines, where the extra stiffness of 3/4″ cable can be harder to route. Many crews keep both spools on hand and swap based on the job rather than committing to one size permanently.

Induction Motor Built for Duty Cycles, Not Just Bursts

The 1/2 HP induction motor is built for sustained run time rather than short bursts. Unlike a universal motor, which wears faster under continuous load, an induction motor holds steady torque and temperature through longer jobs, which matters on a stubborn lateral line that takes ten or fifteen minutes of continuous running rather than a quick clear. That durability is also why the K-750 carries CSA approval to CSA and UL standards, the motor is built to hold up under exactly the kind of repeated, sustained commercial use that standard is meant to certify.

Built for the Truck, Not Just the Shop

The drum resists dents and splitting under normal jobsite handling, and it wipes clean between calls instead of holding onto grease and debris. A wheeled design moves it through doorways and in and out of a service vehicle without a second person. The removable drum speeds up maintenance and cable swaps in the field rather than requiring a shop visit.

Where the RIDGID K-750 Gets Used

  • Residential and commercial lateral line service calls where fast setup and reliable feed speed keep a technician on schedule
  • Property management and multi-family maintenance, clearing recurring blockages without renting equipment for each call
  • Municipal and utility crews handling larger diameter lateral runs with 3/4″ cable
  • Plumbing contractors who need one machine that covers both residential and light commercial line sizes

Frequently Asked Questions

What cable sizes and lengths does the RIDGID K-750 Drum Machine support?

The drum holds 100′ of 3/4″ cable or 125′ of 5/8″ cable. AUTOFEED adjusts to either size without tools.

How fast does AUTOFEED move the cable?

Up to 20 ft (6 m) per minute, in both the advance and retrieve directions.

Is the K-750 approved for use in North America?

Yes. The 115V K-750 is CSA approved to CSA and UL standards.

What comes included with the machine?

PVC drain cleaning gloves and an operator’s manual ship with the K-750.

Should I choose 3/4″ or 5/8″ cable?

3/4″ cable handles heavier roots and larger commercial lines better. 5/8″ cable maneuvers more easily through tight bends and smaller residential lines. The K-750 switches between the two without tools, so many crews keep both on hand.

Pair the RIDGID K-750 with a RIDGID K9-204+ FlexShaft Machine for smaller-diameter lines, or browse RIDGID Drain Cleaning Equipment for the full lineup.
