Product Information

Full details

The Arctic Hayes 13 Piece Drain Rod Set is an essential tool for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to clear blockages in domestic drainpipes, chimneys, and vents. It offers a robust, professional-grade reach of up to 9.2 metres, allowing you to address stubborn clogs deep within 100mm underground piping without hiring a plumber. While the set is highly effective for standard domestic systems, users should exercise care to ensure connections are tightly secured and rotated correctly to avoid accidental detachment inside the pipe.

FAQs

Can I add more rods to this set?

This set comes with 10 rods totaling 9.2 metres. While they are designed to work together, adding extra rods beyond the kit's capacity may decrease stability.

Is this set suitable for kitchen sinks?

This set is designed for 100mm underground pipes, chimneys, and larger drains. It is generally too large and rigid for small internal kitchen sink plumbing.

What is the primary use for the drop head scraper?

The drop head scraper is designed to remove debris, scale, or grease build-up from the inner walls of the pipe.

Does the set come with a warranty?

Arctic Hayes provides a standard manufacturer warranty against defects; please refer to your proof of purchase and specific regional consumer rights.

Are the rods flexible enough to go around corners?

Yes, the rods are designed for flexibility, allowing them to navigate standard drainage bends effectively when used with care.

Troubleshooting

Rod connection feels loose during use

Immediately stop rotating and pull back. Verify that all segments are threaded clockwise and tightened securely.

The rod gets stuck in the pipe

Do not use excessive force. Gently rotate the rod clockwise while pulling back slowly to navigate around bends.

Attachments are difficult to unscrew

Use a pair of pliers to gain better grip on the metal collars while twisting to loosen the stubborn joint.

  • Covers a total distance of 9.2 metres

  • Requires manual assembly and physical effort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply thread the rods together firmly before attaching your chosen head. Ensure all connections are tight before inserting them into the drain. The set is compatible with 100mm underground drainage systems and various flue types. After use, it is critical to clean each rod and accessory with warm, soapy water to remove sewage residue or soot. Dry the rods thoroughly before placing them into their designated canvas bags to prevent rust or mold growth. Store the kit in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the flexible materials.
