Force Cup

Description

A force cup, also known as a plunger or plumber’s helper, is a simple yet effective tool used to clear blockages in drains, sinks, toilets, and other plumbing fixtures. It consists of a rubber suction cup attached to a handle. When placed over a drain or pipe opening and pressed firmly against the surface, the force cup forms a seal, creating a vacuum. By repeatedly pushing and pulling the handle, the force cup generates pressure and suction within the pipe, dislodging and breaking up clogs such as hair, grease, soap scum, and other debris. Force cups are commonly used by homeowners, plumbers, and maintenance professionals as a first-line solution for clearing minor drain blockages before resorting to more aggressive methods such as chemical drain cleaners or plumbing snakes. They are simple to use, affordable, and environmentally friendly, making them a handy tool to have on hand for routine plumbing maintenance tasks.
