The Teletube Urinal Auger TU4 clears urinal clogs without pulling the fixture off the wall. A 48″ Super-Flex spring navigates the tight bends inside a urinal trap, and a 24″ telescoping extension adds working length for deeper stoppages, giving a total reach of 72″. For facilities and plumbing crews handling recurring urinal blockages, this urinal auger solves a problem standard drain snakes were never built for.
Most urinal augers rely on the same basic idea, a flexible spring built to follow a tight curve, but not all springs are built the same. Standard drain snakes are too rigid to follow the sharp curve inside a urinal trap. The TU4’s 48″ spring is coiled specifically for that geometry, flexing through the bend without kinking or losing the ability to clear the blockage on the other side.
A standard drain snake is built for straight or gently curved runs, not the sharp, compact bend inside a urinal trap. Push a rigid cable into that geometry and it either stops short of the clog or kinks trying to follow the curve, sometimes damaging the trap in the process. The TU4’s spring is coiled with a tighter, more flexible wind specifically so it can bend where a standard cable can’t, without losing the stiffness needed to actually break up the obstruction on the far side.
Press the release button and extend the inner tube for an extra 24″ of working length, housed inside the guide tube until needed. That takes total reach to 72″ without switching tools or removing the fixture to get a longer cable in.
Rinse the spring after each use, buildup left to dry is harder to remove later and can stiffen the coil over time, making it less effective on the next bend it needs to navigate. Check the telescoping extension periodically to confirm it locks and releases cleanly, a sticking mechanism is usually the first sign it needs cleaning before it needs replacing. Because the Super-Flex cable is sold separately, a worn spring can be swapped out in the field rather than sidelining the whole tool.
None of these details matter in isolation, they add up to a urinal auger built for a service truck rather than a one-time fix. A technician running several urinal calls in a shift needs something light enough to carry all day, tough enough to survive being tossed in a truck bin between jobs, and simple enough to repair in the field when a part wears out. The TU4 is built around that reality rather than around a single best-case use.
No. The Teletube Urinal Auger is built to navigate urinal bends without removing the fixture.
The TU4 has a 48″ spring plus a 24″ telescoping extension, for a total reach of up to 72″.
Yes. The Super-Flex cable is replaceable, so the tool doesn’t need to be replaced when the cable wears out.
A rust-resistant steel outer tube, 1-1/8″ in diameter, paired with a hexagonal aluminum inner tube for stability and strength.
A standard drain snake is built for straight or gently curved lines. This urinal auger’s Super-Flex spring is coiled specifically to navigate the tight bend inside a urinal trap, where a standard snake would kink or stop short.
