Draincables Direct manufactures sewer and drain cleaning cables using the finest quality music wire available. Cables are made to our stringent quality standards using the best materials and advanced production methods.  All cables are stress-relieved for maximum durability and strength. We manufacture replacement cables for nearly every brand of cable machine.
 
We manufacture open hook, bulb head, straight, double wound and "R" type sectional cables.  Optional inner core of aircraft wire, plastic, or opposite wound wire core is available.
 
Our customer service department has expert product knowledge and is available to assist you with any questions. We can be reached by calling 800.421.4580.

No-Core Cables
Our no-core cables are available in all cable diameters for use in cleaning 1-1/4" to 10" drain and sewer lines.

Inner-Core Cables
Inner-core cables are available in all cable diameters. Unlike no-core cables, these cables contain a core of aircraft wire, opposite-wound wire, or high density plastic. The core is several thousandths of an inch smaller in diameter, and floats freely inside the outer cable. This keeps the cable flexible under normal torque. As torque builds up, the outer cable twists down to grip the inner-core, literally forming an energy-transmitting rod. Adjusting machine’s torque returns cable to its original flexibility.

No-Tension Cables
For those of you who need greater flexibility, for instance, to negotiate or “jump” traps, you will want to use our no-tension cable. These cables are available in 5/8" and 3/4" diameters with or without inner-core.

No-Tension Flexible Leaders
These loose-wound two foot sections of no-tension cable are great for placing on the front end of your regular cables. They are designed to provide greater flexibility in making tight turns in the line. They are available in 5/8", 11/16", and 3/4" diameters and contain an opposite-wound wire core.

Anchor Cables
Most widely used with 5/8", 11/16", or 3/4" cables, these cables contain an opposite-wound wire core and are used between the cable drum and the rear section of a continuous cable. Anchor cables allow extra cable lengths to be added without the need to change the drum.


Cable Couplings
We offer cable couplings compatible with nearly all major brands of equipment. We offer Pin-Lok, Slotted, Slip-Joint, Button Lock and many more of the most used cable couplings.
