When is a Sink Machine the Best Drain Cleaning Machine to Use?

Selecting the right drain cleaning machine for the job is an important decision. When you use the right tool for any job, it saves you time and money. Selecting the proper tool is also a way to ensure the safety of the operator as well as prolong the life of your tools. So, when should you invest in a sink machine as a part of your drain cleaning arsenal?

Sink machines are drain machines with specific functions. These rugged but capable drain machines are perfect for opening up smaller residential plumbing lines. If you work a lot on bathtubs, sinks, shower drains, and laundry lines, then investing in a sink machine could be a smart move. What you need is a drain machine that can handle small to mid-range lines when you don’t need to bother with heavy, bulky mainline sewer machines.

Duracable offers three different sink machine lines that are perfect for these types of jobs, and their versatility makes them a great addition to your drain cleaning machine inventory. While they are compact and lighter weight than their sled and upright counterparts, they are powerful enough to solve most residential plumbing issues with ease.

Which Duracable Sink Machine is Right for Me?
The DM125A is the smallest of our sink machine options, but the ⅙ hp motor capable of 230 rpm packs quite a lot of power in this small package. This sink machine is perfect for residential sinks, tubs, and showers, and the pivoting frame means you can operate on a counter or floor with ease. All of our sink machines come with a poly reel, which keeps the mess to a minimum in any workspace. The DM125A holds up to 37 feet of ¼” drain cable, making it an excellent choice for smaller residential jobs. This small but powerful drain machine is the perfect choice for working in tighter spaces and for clearing smaller clogs.

The DM138 line features both the DM138A and DM138A2 models. Both models feature a more powerful ¼ hp motor operating at 230 rpm. While still compact enough to be helpful in small spaces, the DM138 is powerful enough to cut through most residential plumbing problems. This model is perfect for plumbing professionals who work with many residential sewage problems or maintenance professionals who service multiple apartments or condo units. With the DM138A, you’ll get 90 feet of ⅜” drain cable housed in a 14” poly reel. With the DM138A2, you’ll also receive an addition 8” poly reel and 37 feet of ¼” drain cable.

The DM150 Pivot line features three models. All come with the same ¼ motor as the DM138 line, providing you with plenty of power for those residential jobs. The Pivot option allows you to reach roof vents and floor drains as well as all those other, smaller residential plumbing issues. This sink machine can tilt from 0-90 degrees to help you reach tight workspaces, and it locks securely into place, ensuring your reel remains stable throughout the job. You can switch quickly from 5/16,” ⅜,” and ½” drain cables as well as remove the reel with ease. The DM150A comes with 75 feet of ½” drain cable and an oversized 14” poly reel. The DM150A1 features 75 feet of ⅜” drain cable and a standard 14” poly reel. Finally, the DM150A2 features a great combination of accessories with two oversized 14” poly reels, one standard 14” poly reel, 75 feet of ½” drain cable, 75 feet of ⅜” drain cable, and a machine cart to carry it all.
