Because different toilets have different drain shapes, Spruce also recommends selecting a plunger with softer rubber for the cup. The flexible material contorts around the opening of the toilet drain, creating a more efficient seal. Standard cup toilet plunger The size of the plunger is another important consideration. You should choose a plunger that is the right size for your sink. A plunger that is too small may not be effective at clearing clogs, while a plunger that is too large may be difficult to use in a small sink. Compatibility An accordion plunger is a type ofplungerthat uses a series of connected chambers to create a powerful suction. This plunger can be considered heavy-duty when compared to a cup plunger. This is because of its ability to generate more suction power. They’re effective – accordion plungers can generally clear most sink clogs with just a few plunges.

The toilet plunger — also called a flange plunger — is exactly what it sounds like: it is designed specifically to unclog toilet drains. It does not work on flat-surface drains like those in your kitchen sink, bathroom sink, or basement floor. Ideally, you can transfer the dirty plunger to the bathtub or shower and turn gently spray it down. Washing a nasty plunger in the sink is obviously a big no-no. The LDR Industries is a little over 26 inches, making it the tallest plunger in the LDR Industries collection. Still, the plunger is a compact size that can fit next to or behind your toilet with no problem. Other Model to Consider Another disadvantage of this type of plunger is that it can possibly scratch the surfaces of your toilet, since it is made of plastic, unlike other rubber plungers that will not. Beehive PlungerFor example, the force used in plunging may be too much for some older plumbing fixtures and can therefore cause damage to the pipes. Additionally, if you’re trying to plunge a shower drain, it’s important to remember not to use too much force – this can push the clog further down the drain line and make it harder to remove. Unlike the other air power plungers, this is an affordable alternative that does not require electricity. It’s all about angles: If you push the plunger straight down, it will be full of air, which minimizes the plunging power. Angle it over the drain, so the cup fills with water and creates a tight seal around the drain. A small quantity of water is allowed to flow into the sink, covering the drain. The plunger cup is then placed around the drain, and the handle is pressed down suddenly (aka plunged), forcing the water beneath the cup into the drain where it dislodges the clog, allowing it to be carried off by the out flowing water. This yet another upgraded and versatile variation of the regular cup plunger. Like the cup plungers, it comes with a handle that is connected to a beehive-shaped rubber cup with a flange at the bottom.

Another toilet plunger referred to as an “accordion” plunger. Rather than a traditional flexible rubber cup, the cup is made of hard plastic and is an accordion design. While it’s a forceful plunger, it’s not as versatile as traditional toilet plungers.Remove or add water if needed. You want the plunger to be covered by water, but if the water is going to overflow when you start plunging, take a cup and carefully remove some of the water. If there's not enough water in the toilet, add some so that you can submerge the plunger.
