One of the useful inventions of mankind is the plunger, which becomes simply indispensable when removing sewer blockages.
General concept and device
Vantuz is a device designed to make life easier for a person. The main purpose is to clean the sewer from blockages. Its principle of operation is to create a vacuum, which helps to push contamination into the drain.
It has the following benefits:
- Easy to use, does not require special knowledge and skills.
- Really helps clear blockages.
- Very cheap.
- Does no harm to plumbing.
- Completely safe.
That is why this device often replaces expensive chemicals.
Varieties
Plunger is a special tool that should be in every home. Depending on the type of contamination, different types of tool should be used:
- Regular piston - suitable for removing a small blockage in the sink or toilet. It consists of a cone-shaped (or rounded) rubber nozzle and a wooden handle that you will need to hold on to.
- Air. This option is built into the pipeline.
- Pneumatic. Small pump, easy to use.
Most often found in homes is a piston plunger.
How to choose
For the toilet, you should purchase a separate fixture that will not be used anywhere else. A second plunger is required for kitchen and sink and bathroom sinks. What should I pay attention to when buying?
- The diameter of the nozzle should be slightly larger than the drain hole, so measurements must be taken in advance.
- The length of the handle is calculated based on the length of the pipe: from the drain funnel to the siphon.
- It is better to choose a cone-shaped nozzle - it is more efficient than a round one, it creates a vacuum.
- Do not be shy to take the device in your hand - the brush should be comfortable.
If blockages in the bathroom began to occur constantly, you should think about purchasing a more effective remedy, for example, install a spiral in the toilet.
How to use
Toilet plunger easy to use:
- The device is placed on the drain hole. The water should only cover its rubber element.
- Then you need to create a vacuum by releasing the air. To do this, pressing on the handle, the nozzle is immersed in water and look - bubbles should go.
- Next, do about 10 movements down and up, holding the wooden part in your hand. By pressing the handle, you must strive to push the rubber part deep into the drain.
If the blockage is very strong, and the water in the toilet has risen tolevel above the rubber nozzle, preliminarily scoop out the liquid with a ladle.
A plunger is a useful household attribute that will help you quickly and effortlessly solve the problem of a small blockage.
