Any plumbers out there have any idea what this thing is? I'm

it's probably a blanking cap. it should be just a blanking cap.
but if your house was built by crackheads it's an air admittance valve.

And the inside of the cap.

Not a plumber. And that looks Euro, but here's my guess:

It's a cleanout. Open the top and run a snake down the pipe or back into the bowl to push clog out.

If the cap is leaking air, that could interfere with the flush operation even without a clog. Replacement cap should be available.

But what is the thing called? It's definitely leaking air, but I don't know what it's called so I can inquire to replacement parts.

If you have a blockage in your toilet how are you getting air blowing out downstream?

>>1194057
I use the plunger in the main hole, but the hole highlighted by the various pictures is open, so I can't get nearly enough suction to unlodge any type of blockage.

>>1194060
The main hole? As in not the toilet?

>>1194116
No, the toilet is the main hole, but there's some other hole out the back of the toilet, that's the problem, and the point I don't understand.

it looks like a clean out... and if it's leaking air it's also leaking noxious sewer gases. do you live in a third world shit hole?

>>1194054
it's called "rubber cap". just measure it and get a new one the same size. they sell them at all hardware stores with plumbing stuff. put a little plumbers putty or something on it to make up for the shit design so it seals better.

>>1194118
What happens when you dump water from a bucket down the hole with the cap?

If the water doesn't back up that'll confirm the issue is in the toilet. I just keep thinking if air is getting through then you don't actually have a blockage in the toilet. If water backs up in the hole with the cap your best bet is to get a snake, even a new rubber cap will blow off if the pressure needed to dislodge the blockage is great enough.

>But what is the thing called?
rubber plug/cap

measure inside diameter
go to hardware store and find similar size of pic related
tighten wing nut
no air loss - no popping off

There are a couple of fittings you could use, we call that an IO (inspection opening) where im from just fyi.

Take the old rubber cap/plug to your hardware joint to size a replacement easy done. Stick to rubber inserts or o ring pvc type shit cause if you crack your ceramic using expandable stoppers then some plumber will see dollar signs and rightfully so.

Failing all else obtain a 150 to 100 tapered quickplumb , slap that shit on your porcelain riser then use a short like a 70mm length of 100mm dia pvc with a cap and youre done.

Be careful when using plumber's putty with rubber, I've heard before the oil in it can mess up the rubber.

I wouldn't want to tighten an expanding plug inside a ceramic tube. Seems like it would be likely to split.
