Yup...I managed to clean and repair some items on my gas stove..also cleaned and vacuumed behind and under it...while i have been off...and also cleared up a blocked drain in my downstairs bathroom.

I have fabricated a small air blowdown connection to do this....and disassemble the U Trap...then hook up this blow down connection to the wall...and shoot a small burst of air from my compressor to clear the clog. Also found a tooth paste cap in the U Trap...which did not help. Nonetheless it is cleared up now...and good to go for awhile.

I reckon it would have cost quite a bit to have a plumber do this for me. Glad I taught myself to do some of these things.

Working on ships..and their piping taught me a lot about pressures...drains...low pressure returns....vents et al....so this came naturally up to a point. Even in fabricating this adapter to do the blow down...of the clog. I hate plunging ...as one can make a mess.
