An arrow head, in plumbing terminology, refers to a heavy-duty auger cable trip. This tool is designed to clear blockages in pipes, typically in drain lines or sewer systems. It is called an “arrow head” because of its pointed tip, which is effective in breaking through tough clogs, including tree roots, grease, and other debris that may accumulate in pipes. The arrow head is attached to a flexible auger cable, which can navigate through curved pipes and tight spaces. It is often used by professional plumbers during drain cleaning and sewer maintenance. The durability and cutting capability of the arrow head make it a valuable tool for keeping plumbing systems free of obstructions, ensuring optimal flow and reducing the risk of backups or damage.
