    Electric Tube Cleaners

    Force out tough tube blockages with these powered cleaners. Pair the tube cleaner with a flexible shaft and then attach a brush or scraper to the shaft (each component sold separately). Water flows past the shaft to flush out loosened deposits. To power the cleaner, connect a three-prong (NEMA 5-15) extension cord.
