My damper cable is inside the pipe I want to clean. Will this work on that installation? I fear the whipping strands will get caught in the damper cable.

i don't think so,as anything inside pipe would get caught in spinner. great product though.

Good question. I would think the whips would have a difficult time doing a good job unless you could pull the cable to the side or corner of the flue.

They might,,line is like that of a weed Wacker. I was impressed by how well it worked. Best to detach the cable.

It won't work on any type of pipe, because it's a scam product that has been shown in numerous independent tests to do NOTHING.Here's a video of a guy who really wanted this product to work. This is his after test on a water heater:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE_byf09ANk

You have to use vacuum pipe. I was told sch 40 pipe isn't smooth enough and causes to much friction

most things can be serviced through the actuator panel, so they tell me. Just installed mine. The hanger seems to be good quality to me. My 3 inch down pipe came down on a stud location, so bottom line 7 hours later all installed. Not difficult just very time consuming in my case.Its going to look way cool though

Sounds like a manufacturer's question. I've washed the probe portion but never immersed the wire.

yes - the attachments work on the end of the tubes. Watch out this will lose power when the chamber is full but more importantly when the cloth bag is dusty. When you clean the chamber use a more powerful vac to clean off the cloth filter too. You could rinse it too but that seems like to much each time to me.

This is designed to be wrapped in insulation after being wrapped around a pipe. I would imagine dry dirt would be ok, don't put this in a place where it can get wet.

i wasn't able to get it out because it is positioned in a bad spot. So I cut the old cable and removed it and left the plastic bracket in place. Then I installed the new one next to it and up a little higher so i could reach it with the screw gun. Warning - don't put the handle too high or it will wear out quicker. I noticed that when i had it mounted too high that the handle was always bent over by the arm cushion and it caused the cable to wear thru and i had to replace it again. Just position it high enough to reach with the screw gun/drill. Works great now

hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo

I can't picture your situation. The kit is intended for cleaning a chimney pipe, e.g., out of a pellet stove. Thus the name "SootEater".The brush (on the end of the flex shaft) pushes up through the chimney pipe to loosen soot and clean the chimney. Are you trying to use it for cleaning a dryer exhaust?

Not sure what you mean by vented but if you have clear access to your smoke pipe, this should work. The cleaning whips are very similar to a grass whip. You will simply cut the whips to the length needed for your diameter pipe. If you want to save a bit, loosen the head, slide the whips through to the length you need on one side. That will leave a much longer length on opposite side. When cut to size, you should have enough whip material left over to refill the system when you wear out the first set.

No - the instructions clearly state that the cable should not be placed in water! To clean the probe, just wipe off the tip with a cloth or napkin. Don't let the cable get wet. I have owned one for years, and it has always worked fine until recently. I had to replace the cable.

I've never tried it but I doubt if it will work in dirt. Since it is not contained by the walls of a pipe I though it would be almost impossible to control. Just my opinion.

I use mine on a 4" Porter Cable grinder, which has plenty of power, minimal vibration, and I keep the guard installed. Works very well, and removes material fast!

If your using it for insulation they make a foam sleave that goes over the pipe. If the pipes are rattling when you turn the water on and off you should sweat in a hammer arrestor or vertical air pipe. In answer to your question I don't see any reason why you couldn't put this on water pipes, but I think there would be a cheaper better way to fix your problem

Have you used a crimping/stripping tool to "clean" and prep the cable first? This is a critical step. the connectors slide on relatively easily once the end of the cable has been prepared. Other than that I have no ideas.

I have 8-1/2 foot ceilings, and don't use all of the extension the pole has to offer. Have used the duster and fan cleaner with no problem at all. I have not yet used all of the pole's estension.
