does it cope with bends?
I have a blocked shower drain, the pipe is only 22mm. It runs for about 1.5m under the shower tray, then bends downwards through almost 90 degrees into the main drain. If this kit can cope with this bend I'll order it right now from espares. thanks!

- I don't think this would work in a 22mm pipe. Sounds like what you need is a wire ribbon such as electricians use to pull wires through walls/floors etc. The are springy so they want to be straight, but will bend to go round a corner.

Hi Hopmah, although the pipe would fit in to the drain, I think it would probably just come to a halt at the 90 degree bend. If the bend was closer to the entry point you could have manually entered the pipe and it would've fit round due to the natural curvature of the pipe, however I think because it has to travel 1.5m, it'll just crash in to the wall of the pipe.
- The hose is heavy duty pressure hose and has a metal part on the end with the holes for the jets to come out. I do not personally think it will bend 90 degrees in only 22mm pipe. The hose itself is a good 10-15mm with the end piece.
