ABSTRACT:
A device for unplugging drains comprises an elongated body defining therein a longitudinal bore and including a pair of opposed end sections each adapted to threadably receive a standard hose and provided with two different configurations of L-shaped lugs for connection to various drain pipe strainers. The device defines central outside threaded sections with an enlarged nut being engaged thereon. Between the central threaded sections and both the end sections are defined smooth annular neck sections adapted to receive a resilient annular member for sealing the mouth of the drain pipe when the device is mounted to the strainer thereof. Water supplied by the hose through the bore of the device provides water pressure in the drain pipe for unclogging the same. Various adapters which can be fitted to the end sections of the device are contemplated for allowing the device to be used with further drain configurations and also with compressed air.
