The Kinetic Water Ram uses a burst of compressed air that drives a shock wave (kinetic energy) through water to break up stoppage. It's particularly useful when the stoppage is on the far side of a drum trap or series of tight bends, since the shock wave can travel around bends without losing its force.

The animated graphics show an example of how the principle kinetic energy is applied. The instant impact protects pipes and joints because there is no build-up of pressure in the plumbing system.
The shock wave travels through the water, by passing vents and stacks, and going around tight bends to knock out the stoppage.

The Ram has a self-contained pump and pressure gauge, so you can hit the stoppage with just the right amount of force. You get instant impact with no build-up of pressure in the plumbing system. The force is transmitted through water, so it's not affected by stacks or vents.

An optional toilet attachment (KR-CA) screws onto the front of the Ram and enables you to position the cone in the bowl to get a tighter seal. As a result, you can strike the blockage with greater impact without causing splash back.
