You want to heave in doing so with what is attached to that insert
However, I will not block off a lav if I can fix a blocked toilet or sink.
Most crew will not attempt to do so which is understandable... Why should we have to!
I to have had experience of blocked sinks in the A330! The blockage is usually caused by vomit. (the passenger always forgets the sick bag).
