Stuck in pipe, how to get out? I have this in a 2" plastic drain pipe. It went past a 90 elbow easy enough. Somehow the end is caught.

You can try wiggling back in forth to break up what is caught in it may take a few minutes to dislodge it.

Try to twist is 180 degrees.....push it further in when you try to flip it.

Can you run another snake in with just a plain head to try and dislodge it?

Diane, I never had that problem, but the first thing I would do is empty the canister to gain 100% suction and then cup your hand over the hose to attempt to pull the cloth to the bin. If that fails, I guess you would need to call for a repair, as if the cloth is stuck, you have something much larger in the pipe and they will need to snake it out. Good luck!

It is a little tricky to get back in, so of you can't easily do it with your child I. It, you could try one of those $2 rubber drain plugs you can buy for a regular tub or sink.

There is a rubber O ring that the pipe needs to pass. If you look in the end of the spout (the end that goes on the wall), you can see the rubber O ring and it must get past that. You would need to measure how far the pipe sticks out from the wall in a fairly exact fashion. Then measure how far in the O ring is on the spout and make sure that the pipe will get beyond that. Hope this helps.

Hi, Hold on to handles, place over drain hole and push firmly. Be careful when you pull up so as not to get splashed. I found this plunger to be the easiest and best I have ever used. It usually works after one (maybe two) plunges and does not take an incredible amount of strength (like other plungers).

It sounds like you are plugged in the elbow after the 14 ft drop. With enough extension, the LintEater should be able to break the plugged area up so that the air discharge will push it to the exit of the exhaust. Otherwise, you will have to somehow break the line apart at the elbow where the horizontal run starts and then use the LintEater to clean out the rest of the line.

Put a little cooking oil on the gasket when you put it in and it will come right out. It also helps to push the button to relieve the pressure. If it's really stuck, dismount it from the faucet and you will get better leverage. Hope that helps.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Call the plumber for sure. That was clumsy of him/her. Also go on line. It's there.

I'm sure it will be a snap to put in a pipe that has more vertical space than I had. My "pipe" was a floor drain with 2" opening that made a pretty quick 90 degree turn but I was still able to use this product with careful setup. It worked flawlessly. I have since gotten the "pipe to clear air" for my foundation drain replaced and no longer need to use the pump and sensors.

You Pull It Off. Just Use A Bit Of Force.. Though It'll Come Right Of. Just Be Cautious To Not Loose Your Bottle On The Floor In The Process... Had That Happen Once To Me :-[

just blow or shake it out. most of water is accumulated in hose if you use the hose, if not just let gravity and a litle shake help you get it out. elementery watson

I'm thinking that your pipe may be way too small. Not 100% sure, but I think the diameter is around 4" and then you have the piece that sticks out to which you attach a hose and that takes up room as well. If your planter is larger than 3" you wouldn't need the PVC pipe. Just stick the pump on the bottom of the planter, attach the hose to the white exit port and stick the hose out of the planter to wherever you want the water to drain. However, I caution you that a regular water hose will not fit on the exit port. I use a plastic 3/4" clear tubing I got from Lowes which works extremely well. Hope this helps.

If you really can't get it by hand, MAYBE you could try a pair of pliers or channel locks, being very careful not to squeeze the handles to tight. Also, you could try running under hot water.

DO NOT PULL IT OUT ALL THE WAY. The retraction will break and it won't go back in. This faucet broke the second time I retracted it.

You do not get the pipe from the wall. The hose is flanged and screws onto it.
