Lightweight Plain Chain (PVC pipes)

US$21.12 US$52.90Price range: US$21.12 through US$52.90

Lightweight plain chain is designed for thinner shafts and low-torque machines while safely removing blockages, roots, and failed liners in PVC (ABS) pipes.

Description

This plain chain is designed for use with thinner shafts or power sources with lower torque. Made from 3.5mm (0.14″) stainless steel, it is significantly lighter than the heavy-duty plain chains, allowing it to achieve effective cleaning with much less torque.

The chain does not have hard metal bits fused to the cutting edge, making it suitable for PVC (ABS) pipes.

These chains come with or without a drill head, depending on your selection. The Croco drill head attached to the front helps cut roots or grind failed liners inside PVC pipes while preventing damage to the pipe wall.

It is made from stainless steel to prevent oxidation and is adjustable, so you can clean various smaller diameter pipes with the same chain if you spread the hubs further apart when you assemble them on the shaft. The tools use centrifugal force to center themselves inside the pipe, so you can be assured that the chain will clean the entire pipe wall.

Important note: These products are intended for use by trained professionals in the sewer cleaning trade. They do not come with instructions.

  • Pipe Diameter Range: 1.3" (32mm) | 2" (50mm) | 3" (75mm) | 4" (100mm) | 6" (150mm)
  • Shaft Compatibility: 6mm (1/4") | 8mm (5/16") | 10mm (3/8") | 12mm (1/2")
  • Drill Head Diameter:
    • 16mm (0.63") for 6mm–8mm shafts
    • 20mm (0.79") for 10mm–12mm shafts
  • Material: 3.5mm (0.14") stainless steel links
  • Cutting Type: Plain (PVC-safe, no tungsten carbide bits)
  • Chain Count: 1–3 chains depending on pipe size
  • Self-Centering: Yes, via centrifugal force
  • Adjustable: Yes, suitable for smaller pipe sizes

Important: Using an imperial Allen key may strip the set screws. We recommend using a metric Allen key instead.

A screw set with metric Allen keys can be found here.

  • Mount the chain to a compatible flexible shaft using set screws
  • Insert into the pipe and start the cleaning process
  • Use the chain with a drill head for root cutting and failed liner removal
  • Ideal for low-torque machines and thin flexible shafts
  • Flush the pipe after use to remove debris

For optimal results, we recommend pairing lightweight chains with lightweight (6mm [1/4"] and 8mm [5/16"]) shafts


  • This chain can be used with Picote Mini Cleaner, Mini Miller, Milwakuee M18 FUEL High Speed Flexible Shaft Machine, Ridgid K9-102 and K9-204 FlexShaft® Machines because they use 6mm (1/4") and 8mm (5/16") shafts.
