ABSTRACT:
A kit for forming a plumbing apparatus for aiding in the snaking of drain pipes which kit includes a rubber cap having a cylindrical skirt, a circular clamp about the skirt, a snake rod receiving hole through the covered end of the cap and a flushing water tube also through the covered end of the cap. The cap can fit over and be tightened about a standard drainpipe, e.g. a 2 inch drainpipe, and adapters for coupling it to different standard sized (e.g. 11/2 inch) and different threading (male or female) are provided. The flushing water tube is connected to a flexible hose of sufficient length to run to the faucet of a sink when the cap is attached to that sink's drainpipe. A back flow protector (vacuum breaker) is incorporated at the free end of the hose. The kit includes a carrying box which is waterproof and can serve as a water tight bucket for use under the drain when using the kit to snake a drain. The rubber cap is thick enough about the snake rod receiving hole to squeegee the rod as the rod is removed from the drainpipe after being use.
