SeeSnake®microReel Inspection System
Drains may contain chemicals, bacteria and other sub-
stances that may be toxic, infectious, cause burns or
other issues. Appropriate personal protective equip-
ment always includes safety glasses, and may include
equipment such as drain cleaning gloves or mitts, latex
or rubber gloves, face shields, goggles, protective
clothing, respirators and steel-toed footwear.
•If using drain cleaning equipment at the same time
as using drain inspection equipment, only wear
RIDGID Drain Cleaning Gloves. Never grasp the ro-
tating drain cleaning cable with anything else, including
other gloves or a rag. They can become wrapped
around the cable, causing hand injuries. Only wear
latex or rubber gloves under RIDGID Drain Cleaner
Gloves. Do not use damaged drain cleaning gloves.
•Practice good hygiene. Use hot, soapy water to
wash hands and other exposed body parts exposed to
drain contents after handling or using drain inspection
equipment. Do not eat or smoke while operating or
handling drain inspection equipment. This will help
prevent contamination with toxic or infectious material.
Description, Specifications
And Standard Equipment
Description
The SeeSnake®microReel Inspection System is a portable
pipe inspection diagnostic reel and camera. It comes with
a sonde (transmitter) within the camera head and there is
also an optional CountPlus counter to measure the pushrod
distance traveled. The microReel has a unique removable
cable drum, for convenience in cleaning or replacing
pushrods. It also has a removable system cable, enabling
the microReel to be configured for use with any SeeSnake®
camera control units (CCU) or for use with the lightweight
hand-held micro XPLOR R™ Digital Inspection Camera
monitor.
The microReel uses a 100 foot (30 meters) pushrod of
more rigid design than the microDrain pushrod. Where the
microDrain pushrod is built for maneuverability and short
runs through toilets and P Traps, the microReel has a
stiffer pushrod design that makes it suited for longer runs in
pipes 11/2" to 5" (40 to 125 mm) in diameter.
DO NOT ATTEMPT to negotiate toilet traps with the
microReel pushrod. It is less flexible than its cousin
the SeeSnake microDrain™ pushrod and will not handle
the close tight turns of a standard P-trap, closet bend or S-
trap which the microDrain may pass through.
With an appropriate SeeSnake control unit, the operator
can connect an external Line Transmitter and use a stan-
dard locator to line-trace the path of the microReel push
cable in a pipe.
