About this deal
When the toilet is overflowing or the sink is backed up on Thanksgiving, having a plunger on hand can make a huge difference. This flange fits well over the toilet drain, making it easy to form the necessary suction to clear a clog. However, this plunger will not work well for a toilet clog since it won’t be able to seal properly to create suction. When you seal the plunger over the drain opening and push it down, you increase the pressure in the pipe.
While some heavy-duty rubber toilet plungers (also known as “flange plungers”) have an essential part that goes down into the drain, they also still have the rubber cup around the top and for me, the cup always just curls and turns inside out and then I have to waste precious plunging time and energy trying to flip it back. Keep a designated plunger for the sink, a designated plunger for the toilet, and an accordion plunger for really stubborn clogs. Please, SOMEONE tell me you understand the anger I'm feeling right now and that my experience is valid and that you feel the same about these things.You can, in fact, get by with just having a flange or accordion plunger, since these versatile plungers can do double duty for both sink and toilet.
Should you find yourself in a situation where you don’t have a plunger at all, use one of these six plunger-less methods of unclogging a toilet to clear the blockage. To use it properly, you must ensure that the plunger's cup fits snuggly in the toilet bowl and creates a tight seal. Our antimicrobial plastic inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the plunger and drip tray. I’ve clogged and subsequently unclogged toilets in hotels around the world, in friends’ houses, in strangers’ houses, and in the many homes and apartments I’ve lived in during my life. This plunger is designed to work on flat surfaces; it won’t work well for a toilet clog, because it won’t form a good seal in the rounded surface of a toilet bowl.You don’t need all three of these plungers, just a cup plunger + a flange or accordion plunger (depending on your preference). The cup is sealed over the opening and the movement of the handle then forces the water pressure up and down eventually dislodging blockages. If the water is still not draining properly, you may need to repeat these steps a few times until the clog is completely removed. It may be a good idea to keep on hand one of each of the three kinds of plungers so that you always have the right plunger for the job.
In fact, it has made every clog SO MUCH WORSE because of how angry it makes me after 20 MINUTES OF FIGHTING AGAINST THIS THING! A surprising number of folks reach adulthood without ever learning that there’s more than one kind of plunger.
We also offer everything you need to keep your bathtub, sinks, kitchen, and shower free from pesky clogs. While it has the extra flap at the bottom like the flange plunger, instead of a cup at the top it has an accordion shape which allows for greater pressure to push out. Unlike regular plungers, accordion plungers feature a flexible rubber head that can be adjusted to fit into various shapes and sizes.
This is a good plunger for a sink in your bathroom, kitchen or basement and also works well on bathtub and shower drains. Why the hell do all you blogger plumbers swear up and down that the glorious flange plunger is the perfect match for a toilet? If your plunger is not solving your clog, or you’re experiencing frequent clogs, there may be a larger issue in your home’s plumbing system.
