Kinetic Water Ram™
5. To avoid splash back, press down firmly, putting your weight
behind the Ram. Then, SNAP trigger quickly for trip hammer ef-
fect.
6. Blockage will break up on impact.
7. If the blockage persists, gradually increase the pressure by 10 lb.
(1 bar) increments until the blockage has been cleared. Most lines
can be cleared using only 20 to 40 lbs (1.5 - 3 bars) of pressure.
8. Follow by flushing thoroughly with water to carry off waste parti-
cles.
SPECIFIC APPLICATIONS
SINKS
In sinks you must block the overflow vent with a wet rag or towel be-
fore firing the Water Ram to prevent splash back. Apply pressure to
the rag or towel at the moment when you snap the trigger. There must
be some water in the basin, so that the nozzle of the Ram is under
water when placed in
the drain opening. Use
low pressure at first to
make sure you have
splash back under con-
trol, then increase in 10
lb. (1 bar) increments
until the stoppage has
been cleared. Flush the
line with warm water.
COMBINATION SINKS
To unclog double compartment sinks, use the Water Ram in the sink
section leading directly into the trap and stack. To avoid splash back,
seal off adjacent sink using an expansion plug. If you do not have an
Expansion Plug, block the adjacent drain by covering firmly with towel
or rag.
BATHTUBS
Remove the pop-up cover from tub drain and position the Water Ram.
Use low pressure at first to make sure splash back is under control.
Make sure there is some water in the tub so that the tip of the Ram is
under water when placed in the drain opening. If the water is draining
too quickly, see "Clearing Slow Draining Sinks And Tubs."
If you're having difficulty with splash back, follow the same procedure
as for clearing sinks. Remove the overflow screen and push 8 to 10
inches of thin, wet rag down the overflow and replace the screen.
In some tubs, excellent results can be obtained by combining the
caulking hose with the tapered Rubber Cone.
1. Unscrew the pop-up lever on the tub.
2. Thread the Lock Nut up the spindle two inches.
3. Thread the Rubber Cone back to the Lock Nut.
4. Thread the Caulking Hose onto the spindle, just in front of Cone.
5. Insert the Caulking Hose into the pop-up valve opening. This will
aim the kinetic force directly down the drain. Be sure to cover the
drain opening before snapping the trigger.
CLEARING SLOW DRAINING SINKS AND TUBS
Turn the faucet wide open so that water is supplied faster than it can
drain off. If this doesn't provide enough water to create the required
column of water, use the optional Check Valve Assembly (G-CVK) as
follows:
1. Remove the 4" Rubber Cone from the end of the Water Ram.
2. Thread the Check Valve Attachment onto the end of the Ram.
3. Thread the 4" Rubber Cone, or the appropriate size Tapered Plug
or Expansion Plug, onto the end of the Check Valve Assembly.
4. Thread the Faucet Adapter or Threaded Adapter onto one end of
the Water Supply Hose, then attach it to the faucet. Thread the
other end of the hose to the Check Valve Assembly.
5. Place the tip of the Ram into the drain and pump it up to the de-
sired pressure.
6. Turn the faucet wide open so that water is supplied faster than it
can drain off.
7. With the tip of the Rubber Cone firmly sealing off the drain open-
ing, the water from the faucet flows through the Check Valve As-
sembly and enters the pipe, then rises in the stack or vent. This
creates a head pressure that helps the Ram clear the blockage.
8. Be sure to turn off the faucet before snapping the trigger.
