I have a partially plugged pressure line. It's plastic, possibly
polybutylene. 3/8" or so. I tried using an air compressor but that
didn't seem to help. One thought is to use a cable snake or fish tape.
Another is to buy some plastic encased cable. I'd heat the end up a
bit to form it into a bulb. Maybe the plastic would hold the cable together
enough to allow for it to be pushed.
I think a drain snake would be too big for this.
Any thoughts or suggestions.? Thanks muchly

Disconnect at both ends and blow back from the far end.

No. I forgot to mention this line is about 60' long. No harm
in trying, though. Maybe the obstruction is near the end.

Isolate it and reverse flush it.

What about a roll of #12 electrical wire pushed thru the line ?
