Hello folks Dave Schulke here with the Twin Home Experts I'm going to go ahead
and give you a little project on how to build the world's best toilet plunger.
Yes, I kid you not. I have tried this hundreds of times and it works amazing.
You know typical homeowners got the standard toilet plungers like this. The
issue with these here is that they just don't do the job 100% and the reason why
is because you can never get a nice compression around the toilet bowl trap.
The other messy thing is that you get all that defecation all over then what
do you do it gotta put it in a bag, and go outside to clean it. This one here is just a
cheapo that never works it just doesn't give you enough head
pressure to push the clog down. So one day I had access to one of these here.
And as you probably saw my other video on how to unclog the toilet without a
plunger this is what I used. But I'm gonna go ahead and show you how to modify this
to make it more effective. So going. Alright guys let's go ahead and get you
started. The first step you're gonna need in building your very own best toilet
plunger is go ahead and get rid of these bag them up toss them you won't be them
I promise you. Alright, now you're gonna hit your local hardware store and you're
gonna pick up a schedule 80 half-inch both threads on each side nipple then a
couple of these guys as well. A couple of two-inch by three-inch
nipples they are half inches as well with threads. Get yourself a couple of
half-inch caps threaded again and then a half-inch PVC T threads on all
sides there, okay. As far as tools you're just gonna need a saw. This is gonna cut
some plastic it's all you're gonna need to for. Then get yourself some wood
sticks and a plate you're gonna mix that JB weld in here.
and as far as the JB weld comes in like this. You can get it your local hardware
store as well. This is the best, it's waterproof, and it just hardens really
well. It's not gonna break down over time, Alright,
so let's now get started on how to build this sucker here okay. Alright let's go
ahead and take you to that. Alright folks so now that we've got all the items that
we need. We're gonna go ahead now and build it out. Take your half-inch T and
just screw it on either end of the two foot nipple you could just hand tighten
it then grab yourself the half by two inch nipple go ahead and hand tighten that.
Take the other one screw it on the other end of the T then get yourself your half
inch cap and tighten that and do the same on the other side all right it
should look like this when you're done. Now let's go ahead and take your brush
and your saw. What we're going to do is leave about two to three inches of this
little stub here okay. We're gonna cut this handle off.
Now once that's cut and prepped you're going to go ahead get your JB weld and
you're gonna squeeze the two equal parts of this two-part epoxy onto the plate.
And then get your wood stick and you're gonna go ahead and mix this like this
you want to come in tight here. Now you want to mix this until you get one solid
color takes about 15 to 20 seconds to really mix this well once you do that
then scrape it off you're gonna put this inside the nipple like this just kind of
fill in the entire half-inch diameter
then you're gonna take the brush and you're gonna slide it inside give it a
little turn you're gonna let that dry. I would let it dry for a good 24 hours.
Once it's dry and cured in place you're gonna end up with something like this.
Now you're probably wondering well how do we know it's gonna work.
Well let's go ahead and bring you to our training facility. We've got a toilet all
stopped up let's go ahead and put this to the test to prove to you why it is
the number one world's best toilet plunger.
all right folks so here we are. We went ahead and stopped up our very own
training toilet here. As you can see it's filled up to the rim. Now I want to go
ahead and go over why I put this on a two foot riser and the reason why is if
you buy one right from the store yes it works the issue is that you got a lot
more leverage and a lot more torque when it's long like this okay. All right so
let's go ahead and put it to the test here.
The other great benefit with this type of toilet plunger is it allows you to
clean the toilet as well with the other ones you can't do that okay and then go
ahead and flush again it allows you to clean the brush there you have it. Well
hopefully this gave you an exciting little project that you can do. More
importantly giving you the world's best plunger for your home. Well as always
thanks for watching.
