Installation Considerations
Verify that the plug size and thread configuration match the female threaded cleanout adapter or fitting before installation.
Thread the plug carefully into the cleanout opening to avoid cross-threading. Use a sealing method suitable for PVC threaded connections and the intended DWV application where required.
Tighten only enough to create a secure closure. Excessive torque can damage PVC threads or the mating cleanout fitting.
Our plumbing specialists can help review your cleanout size, thread compatibility, DWV application, and maintenance requirements before you order.
