Kinetic Water Ram™
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.
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.

Toilets
Toilet bowls have an oval shaped opening that can make
it difficult to form a good seal around the 4" Rubber
Cone. It often helps to stuff a rag around the cone. A
better solution is to use an optional Toilet Attachment
(KR-CA).
To use the Toilet Attachment:
1. Remove the 4" Rubber Cone
2. Thread the Toilet Attachment
3. Hold the Ram over the bowl
Start with a small amount of pressure at first to make
sure splash back is under control. Press down firmly,
putting your weight behind the Ram and snap trigger. If
low pressure is not successful, increase it in 10 lb.
