The PVC DWV cleanout adapter features a spigot x cleanout connection with a plug to provide for a means of clearing potential clogs. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic materials because of its light weight, durability, and cost-effectiveness. PVC DWV is easy to install and is joined by solvent cementing or threading. PVC fittings exhibit high corrosion and chemical resistance and will not rust, scale, pit or corrode. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco K169200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Nibco 4816 cleanout adapter connect to on each end?
The 4816 is a spigot x cleanout adapter with a plug. The spigot end goes into the hub of a PVC DWV fitting, and the other end is the threaded cleanout opening that takes the supplied plug. It's solvent weld on the pipe side, so no threading or gasket is involved on that joint. Schedule 40 PVC in white.
2) What pipe sizes does the Nibco 4816 PVC cleanout adapter come in?
Five sizes: 1-1/2, 2, 3, 4 and 6 inch. Order by MPN K169100 (1-1/2), K169200 (2), K169300 (3), K169400 (4) and K169550 (6). Match the size to the DWV line you are tapping, not to the plug you want to pull.
3) Does the Nibco 4816 cleanout come with the plug, or do I order that separately?
The plug is included. The 4816 is sold as an adapter with plug, so you get the threaded cleanout body and the plug that closes it. What you do need on hand is the solvent cement and primer for the spigot joint, which are not part of the fitting.
4) Will this Nibco cleanout meet a commercial plumbing spec on the drawings?
The 4816 is manufactured to ASTM D2665 and D3311, certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 14, and NSF U.P. Certified, which is the sanitary drain, waste and vent listing an inspector looks for. It is called out for both commercial and residential plumbing systems. Schedule 40 wall.
5) Do I need a spigot cleanout adapter or a hub one for my PVC drain line?
It comes down to what you are joining to. A spigot end is sized like pipe, so it drops into the hub of a fitting already in the line, a wye or a coupling, without adding a second fitting. If you are coming off cut pipe instead, you want a hub (socket) cleanout that slips over the pipe. The 4816 is the spigot version, cemented in place.
6) Can I thread the Nibco 4816 cleanout onto the pipe instead of gluing it?
No, not on the pipe side. The 4816's pipe connection is solvent weld only, so that joint gets primed and cemented. The only threads on the fitting are at the cleanout opening for the plug, which is what you back out later to rod the line.
7) Is a PVC cleanout going to corrode or scale in a waste line the way metal does?
No. PVC will not rust, scale, pit or corrode, and it holds up to chemical attack, which is why it is the usual choice for drain, waste and vent runs in multi-family and institutional buildings where drain cleaners get used regularly. The 4816 body and plug are PVC throughout.
