99941 Large Drain Cleaning Bladder

Works great. I’ve used it a few times since I got it.

Probably the most entertaining shipment I have ever received. Gary Hammer (the person who shipped the parts) did an amazing positive note to me. Even included a penny for good luck. Keep up the good work Gary!!Oh, yes, the drain cleaning bladder is exactly as expected. They work great.

great experance

If I could give this a zero star I would. This broke the second I used it. Please don't buy this and waste your money and time and possibly make your situation worse.

While cleaning the duct the bladder came of the assembly

I gave it 3 stars because it didn't clear the blockage. I gave consideration to the type of blockage but it was the typical hair and tissue with one more fun item - a tampon. Thanks genius whoever it was. While the main drain was extremely slow...it wasn't 100% blocked but I needed a good 5 or 10 minutes for the residual water to drain off to where I couldn't see it ~ 25ft out. That wad was maybe about 50 or so ft out as per the plumber. Perhaps it didn't work as it should've because it wasn't 100% tightly blocked so you didn't have the added air push behind it or what but it still didn't improve it significantly. Out of curiosity, I took it back out and went into the yard to turn the faucet on and see how powerful this stream was. Quarter turn made the stream shoot out about 10 or 15 ft so I was kind of surprised it hadn't knocked anything free when the hose was fully opened. It was decently pressured even at 1/4 turn. My advice, have someone help with a walkie talkie...you feed the line in and they turn the hose on. This way if the bladder bursts(as some reviewrs said) or the blockage is too strong and water creeps back up...you can shut down immediately without sewage flooding back in! Friendly tip! Don't have a walkie? Use your cordless phone's intercom...tada!My main was about 4 in diameter, I think but the opening was larger for the cap (but no more than 6 in). It slid in good enough but I think it was supposed to swell and create a sort of seal to pressure out and shoot the blockage but it never happened like that. Perhaps I made the wad worse when I first encountered the resistance? My advice if you want to gamble which I'd say try it vs the 200 bucks a plumber will charge...10 bucks you can spare if you got a 50/50 shot of this working. The build seems decent, the brass connection is not as thick as the one from HD but not a deal breaker. It did not leak with the tugging and shoving so I give it credit for that. Beside HD will charge you double for this! I think what really did me in was that darn tampon (who flushes an expanding cotton wad?! WTF!)...otherwise, I think I had a fair shot. Thus, I gave it a 3 for fairness.This will not work if you have root infiltration, you need a plumber to come and do an internal drain line cut (specialty tool on an auger/snake). Chances are the roots probably are the source collecting wads of tissues and yuck.

Out door drain opened it right up
