A flange plunger is designed to remove blockages from toilet gulleys.
How is a flange plunger different to a cup plunger?
A flange plunger is distinctive from a cup plunger by the piece of rubber which forms a neck at the base of the cup
The flange of rubber can fold into the inside of the cup, so the plunger can be used as a cup plunger.
This means that the flange plunger can be used for the same applications as a cup plunger e.g unblocking sinks.
Although the flange plunger is primarily designed for use on toilets, it can be used in sinks. However, it is not recommended (for hygiene reasons) to use the plunger for both.
If you do decide to use the plunger for both applications, ensure it is thoroughly disinfected between usage.
