Troubleshooting
Wheel does not fit drain rod
Ensure the threading on your drain rod matches the threading of the clearing wheel. If the threads are incompatible, a different clearing wheel or rod may be needed.
Clearing wheel gets stuck on a bend
Apply steady, gentle pressure. If resistance is significant, the blockage may be too severe for this tool alone. Try rotating the rod while applying pressure.
Minor blockage remains after use
The clearing wheel is designed for minor obstructions. For persistent or severe blockages, a more powerful drain clearing tool or professional service may be required.
