What is a snail?
The cabinet snail, also known as a toilet worm or plumbing snake, is a device for cleaning obstacles from toilet drain. It consists of a long flexible metal coil with a hand crank at one end and a metal tip on the other. The handle and tip are connected by a strip of metal flowing through the center of the coil and the handles turn the tip. The typical worm of the cabinet is about 3 feet (1 m), which is long enough to clean most blocks in toilet waste lines. Any device or assembly with this term in its name, such as the flange of the cabinet, is designed for use in toilets and surroundings. The wood worm is a tool other than a snail of the cabinet, with a thinner and more flexible coil designed to fit into the P-pasti and drainage that are more fragile than the toilet waste line. The use of a worm of the cabinet to try to clean the sink obstruction is not recommended and may damage the plumbing.
The usual procedure for using the cabinet worm is to insert the tool head into the toilet outlet and push it until it hit the obstacle. TOThe liking handle rotates with a head that is barbed or designed as a spiral and passes through it through blocking. Once the obstruction is cleaned and the water begins to drain, the user pulls his head back from the outflow and the obstacle usually comes with it. Work around the toilet includes a natural possibility of exposing non -hygienic conditions, so it is advisable to wear rubber gloves and take further steps to prevent contamination, including thorough washing after repair is complete.
Since the cabinet range is limited to 3 feet (1 meter), it cannot approach blocking deep in the waste line. In the case of an obstacle that is not in the immediate vicinity of the toilet, it is possible to insert Auger through an accessible opening, such as cleaning located at the base of the waste tray. When one person plunged the toilet to move the obstruction down, the other operates a snail from further down the line and the head is closer to the head. When the water begins to flow, the obstruction can be pulled by a snail.
