constructional feature of the splunger is that the control rod 26 can be selectively affixed to fittings 22 and 28 at either end of the fit member 20 in the preferred embodiment the control rod is selectively threadedly engaged with either fitting with the control rod engaged with the proximal end of the fit member 20 the fit member 20 can be fully extended by pushing the control rod 26 out of the tubular handle 12 in this circumstance the fit member 20 is flexible allowing it to pass along the convoluted trap passages of a toilet the mop head 18 serves as a sort of hydraulic piston effectively clearing clogs when the control rod 26 is withdrawn so that the distal tip of the fit 20 is captured by the fitting 16 at the distal end of the tubular handle 12 the fit 20 is within the tubular handle 12 at this point the mop head is substantially supported by the fitting 16 and the splunger can be used as a toilet brush the control rod can be threaded to the fitting at either end of the fit member 20 for this use although it is perhaps more convenient to have the control rod 26 threaded to the fitting at the distal end of the fit member 20 so that the control rod 26 does not protrude awkwardly after use the thread 24 on the control rod 26 can again be threaded.
