The toilet snorkel hose has a soft elastomeric (rubber or plastic) snorkel-type mouthpiece "having a teeth-engaging bite ring [18] formed integrally therewith", thus enabling the user to "bite-down onto the mouthpiece to hold it in sealed communication with one of his respiratory intake passages (mouth)." Well, yes, that will be your mouth, unless you are one of those rare individuals with teeth in your nostrils.

As he says: "It is well known that upon flushing of the toilet, a water trap will form in the toilet bowl to block sewer gases from entering the bathroom proper. Conversely, the water trap functions to prevent toxic smoke in the bathroom from passing thereby."

So, the device provides the lesser of two evils: you can breathe sewer gases instead of toxic fumes.

Hmmmm

Observing...

Quite Funny, bt could save life
Its just device that, in the case of a fire, would allow the user to access (fresh?) air from the sewer...lol

Salanga na different matter my oga, I don't think salanga has vents, so one would be breathing in percolated...how shall I say this....okay I 'll use "atmosphere"

The key thing to this working well is the venting process in modern plumbing.
