Snaking a Niagara Stealth

[Jenna Smith]

Any plumbers out there have any issues snaking a .8GPF Stealth? Not sure if it's just a rumor, but I've heard that when a Stealth clogs, snakes don't work well, so the toilet has to be pulled. Could it be that the design of the bowl makes it difficult to snake?

some Kohler toilets have a "baffle" with a small hole in it inside the trapway which makes it very difficult to snake the bowl, so the Niagara could be the same way.

What's next, a .001 spittoon?

Any closet auger should work fine on those. Make sure it's a closet auger and not a snake.

These have plastic around the bend to prevent scratching the bowl as you auger.

It is a little bendy.

Double trap? Who designed that?

It siphons better that way. TOTO has a lesser version of that, and the Cadet copied that slightly too.
