Some Information about Plumbing and Plumbing tools
In plumbing, a sink is a bowl-shaped fixture, usually made of porcelain (or, especially in the kitchen, stainless steel), that is used for washing hands or small objects such as dishes, nylons, socks or underwear. Old sinks were often made of enameled steel or cast iron. In American plumbing parlance, a bathroom sink is known as a lavatory. Sinks generally have faucets, usually cold and hot, and a drain. When a sink becomes stopped-up or clogged, a person will often resort to use of chemical drain cleaner or a plunger.
Some Plumbing DOs and DON'Ts
DO - When plunging your bathroom sink or bath tub use a cloth
and plug up the overflow and hold tight. It's a good idea to
plunge your drains before they stop up.
DO - Remove the stoppers and clean down pipe where stopper
connects.
DO - When finished plunging, fill wash bowl until it runs int
overflow. If you have a small type spring brush, use to clean
overflow.
