Connector for RIDGID FlexShaft shaft 6mm (spare part)

This connector joins our 6mm flexible shaft to a drain cleaning machine of the RIDGID K9-102 series. It is crimped onto the shaft with a hydraulic press or a hand crimping tool.

Many users retrofit their K9-102 with our flexible shafts, which is why we developed this connector. If you are looking for a complete shaft with the connector already crimped on, see our flexible shaft 6mm x 15m with connection for RIDGID K102. This connector on its own is intended for users who need a replacement or a second one.

Why a spare connector makes sense

In the K9-102 the shaft passes through a sharp bend shortly after the drive. Stress and heat build up at that point, which is where a failure typically occurs.

With a spare connector in the van you can replace it on site and carry on working instead of waiting several days for a delivery. The shaft itself stays in use and does not have to be replaced as a whole.

Important notice

This is not an original RIDGID part, and we do not sell brand-name spare parts. The connector is made in our workshop so that customers can use our flexible shafts in their existing RIDGID machine. It is intended to complement your existing setup, not to replace the machine.

When working with the flexible shaft, observe the safety information on the shaft’s product page. This product is intended for use by trained professionals in drain and sewer cleaning.
