Thanks
In the combo pak, you get a separate larger device for larger drain pipes.

I would recommend having a second person to hold the device into the pipe when you first turn on the hose bib. This will prevent the device from popping out of the pipe. Turn on the hose bib slowly. But, once the rubber bladder expands, it seals off the pipe and the water only flows down the drain to flush out the line, with no backflow.
