|

 |
The cup plunger has several given names: the classic plunger, original plunger, plumber’s friend and sink plunger. | |||
 |
A cup plunger looks like a half cut ball on a handle | |||
 |
It is usually the first type of plunger that comes to mind when plunging applications arise. | |||
 |
Cup plungers may come in a variety of colours, cup and handle sizes.
The colour has no effect on the plunger’s performance – simply pick your favourite! |
|||
Cup diameter |
||||
 |
The cup diameters are available sized at a large 120mm (4 ¾ “), medium size of 100 mm ( 4″) and smallest size of 75 mm (3”).
Different manufacturers will provide different sizes of cups for the plunger. |

 |
||||
Handle length |
||||
 |
Depending on the manufacturer, the handle length of the plunger may vary. Some may offer a larger size cup on a small handle, whilst others may offer a smaller cup on a longer handle.
There is plenty of variety to be found, all you have to do is decide which is better suited to your needs (e.g. in a small confined space, a plunger with a shorter handle would be better suited as a longer handle would take up more space and make plunging a bit tricky). |
