Has anyone used in the clogged sink? How many feet is the snake? Can the snake get into the sink pipe easily?

Never used on a clogged sink. it is 3 - 4 feet long. i don't think the snake would make sharp turns like in a goose neck. i don't think it is designed to unclog pipes anyway - the end looks like glass lights. it does a good job for seeing in hard to see areas.

I haven't used it in a sink, but considering your minimum radius is about 6", it will not get around a P trap. Length of mine is about 3'.

yes, you could use it for everything, but it's only 3 feet long. If need longer, you can buy the 6feet long.

it is 6' long and works great! But either its clogged or it isn't. Don't need the snake to figure that out, honestly!

The snake is pretty flexible, about 3 feet long and should probably do what you need it to do. There are also 3 ft. extensions you can get if the initial 3 ft. isn't long enough. I've found it to be a very handy tool.

Actually I'ts not bad. Yes I do rinse it and plunge in the clean water after the clog is gone. This is less work than a toilet snake and works better than a standard plunger.

One section of my sink is about 13"x15". With a drain plug, the normal cycle fills it about half way. It is MUCH less water than washing the same dishes by hand. Also they come cleaner.

I have used it in the sink and it worked well. Get a lot of water in the sink and if it is a double sing have someone hold a washcloth on on of the sinks and just start pumping. Ours was not draining at all and it knocked it loose.

I think it's all about the diameter of the pipe through the diameter of the sink hole and into your plumbing. It was an exact replacement for my project so I had no problems. By the way Kraus has a great website and can probably help you there.

I really don't know because we have a snake in the tank, but I do know that the bottom of tank before it reaches the doors is about 5" but I don't think I would put water in it. This is just my opinion. Thank you Wendy. :)

If the snake is already in your basement this will keep him there. Remove snakes from the area you want to protect first, then apply liberally and the snakes won't return. Good luck!

I'm sure there is... I don't know the product you'd need though... Perhaps you could rig something...? The thing is that there's not too much clearance from the bottom of the python "drain" and the bottom of the sink (only a few inches - 3?), typically... Meaning the h20 comes back from the tank and drains in the sink - where it exits the python theres not much clearance --- kinda hard to explain....) Good luck~!

I used my battery drill, but even with two people (one drilling slowly and one managing the snake), we kinked it up inside the sheath. I ended up pulling the toilet off the floor to clear it. If you have a straight shot at the pipe, maybe it would work. The bends in the toilet were too much for this snake.

The p trap size is very unusal. Maybe inch and 1/4th. I had to use a black rubber connector with a different size on each end and two hose clamps to fit mine together. This can be found atmost all lumber yards. I dought if you will find the right size pipe to rough in with and if you did, what happens when you change to a new sink?that is for the sewer. Water line is a standard 3/8 inch , drain is the problem not the water. hope this helps as I am not a plumber.

I've never tried it for a sink. I'd think there would be more "water waste" involved so I don't know how effective it would be if any. I don't recall the packaging/instructions mentioning other uses for it. Sorry!

I used it in the kitchen and I go from brass to PVC (plastic) drain pipes. It did not hurt either of them. Be sure to use as directed. It works great!

When I unhook and pull down it comes about 3-4 inches down into basin of sink. I could not pull it even close to physically touching bottom. It can spray far and is very durable though. Hope this helps!

good observation with the wax seals. The clog is trans the wax seal and when plunge (increase pressure) the toilet the way of least resistance (the wax) gives in. This should not happen with the new seal or only transiently. good luck to all of us. One solution is to unclog with a "snake".

I do not have one yet, but on other sites I have read that people have put it under their sinks and had it connected to the plumbing under there and it worked great. They all had plumbers do that for them. I'm planning to get a rolling cart to put mine on, so I can roll it up to the sink when using then put it in the closet when not.

Alan, i have not ran the camera through anything smaller than sewer pipe. I would think you would not be able to run through a j trap on a sink. the length of the camera would make that difficult. keep in mind that you need to secure the cam to a snake to push it along. hope this helped

I suppose you might be able to use it to create sink if you have a bucket or tank to pump from within a couple feet of where your sink is located. Keep in mind the pump has to be submerged in the water supply and has no on/off switch on the cord (you'd have to put one where it plugs into the power outlet (would be a shock hazard if turning it off with wet hands). If you're only pumping the water through 2-3 feet of hose, the water reaches the end of the hose quickly. With some ingenuity you might be able to make the pump work for your purpose, but I think a cheap transfer pump might be a better choice. Hope this helps.
