    Remove shower drain plug
    Need to remove hair clog in shower drain. The plug is controlled by a ring at the end of the fauset, which is handy to use but I have no idea how to get the plug out of the way to snake it. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Is that a (very) old shower ? Is it shower only or tub/shower combo ? Can you snap a pic of it and post it for us ?

    Back to you / Milo

    Milo's on to something. Showers don't have plugs. Tubs do and if you're trying to snake a tub you can't do it from the drain. You have to snake it from the overflow. If you need instructions on how to do that click on back and we'll be glad to assist. Back to you, tom
