JS Jackson Supplies Professional Bellows Accordion Toilet Plunger, Thrust Plunge Removes Heavy Duty Clogs from Clogged Bathroom Toilets, Power Plungers, Jackson Parent (Purple)

Product Information

When you push the plunger down, pressure moves downward on the adjoining pipe; when you pull the plunger up, a vacuum action moves the pressure back towards you. However, this plunger will not work well for a toilet clog since it won’t be able to seal properly to create suction.

When the toilet is overflowing or the sink is backed up on Thanksgiving, having a plunger on hand can make a huge difference.To use, place the cup over the opening of the blocked area to form a seal, then using firm pressure, move the plunger up and down for about 20 seconds, ensuring the handle stays pointed straight up. When you seal the plunger over the drain opening and push it down, you increase the pressure in the pipe. 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. Why the hell do all you blogger plumbers swear up and down that the glorious flange plunger is the perfect match for a 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. The flange plunger can also double as a cup plunger by folding the flange back, although you may want to keep a separate plunger for the toilet and one dedicated for the sink.The cup plunger has a hard time sealing around the curved toilet drain, and therefore cannot get enough suction.

Sink plungers are best on flat surfaces where the cup can lay flat over the drain and create the vacuum necessary to dislodge the clog.

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. 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.

Traditional plungers are made of porous rubber, which allows bacteria to seep in and is difficult to fully clean. After trying so many brands for my rental properties, they have proven the most durable and functional sinks on the market. NO FOLD LIP DESIGN: Our no fold lip design significantly minimizes the risk of splash back and is wipe clean to fight against nasty build up. So hopefully I can spare some of you the effort and frustration of trying to unclog a drain with the wrong tool for the job.

A surprising number of folks reach adulthood without ever learning that there’s more than one kind of plunger. 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.
