Nibco E169200 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What sizes does the Nibco 816 DWV fitting cleanout come in?
The Nibco 816 fitting cleanout is made in 1-1/2 inch, 2 inch, 3 inch and 4 inch pipe sizes, ordered as E169100, E169200, E169300 and E169400. Match the size to the DWV copper line you are tying into, not to the trap arm alone.
2) Does the Nibco 816 cleanout solder into the pipe or into another fitting?
It is a Ftg x Cleanout with plug, so the inlet end is a male (fitting) end that slips INTO the cup of another copper DWV fitting rather than accepting pipe. If you need an end that takes pipe, you want a C x cleanout configuration instead.
3) Can I use this cleanout on a pressurized water line?
No. The 816 is built for DWV drain, waste and vent service only. Use a pressure-rated fitting for potable or hydronic supply lines.
4) What is the Nibco 816 cleanout made of, and will it hold up in a waste line?
Cast bronze, ASTM B584 alloy C84400, and dezincification resistant, with material and workmanship per ASME B16.23. That is the standard body material for a DWV cleanout that gets opened and re-plugged over the life of the building.
5) What does a fitting cleanout actually do in a copper DWV stack?
It gives you a plugged access point in the drain line so a snake or rod can be run into the section when it clogs, instead of cutting the copper open. On a Ftg x cleanout like the 816, the male end drops into an existing fitting cup and the plugged opening faces out where a tech can reach it.
6) Is this cleanout acceptable for commercial work or is it residential only?
Both. Nibco lists the 816 fitting cleanout for commercial and residential plumbing systems, so the same part covers a multi-family stack and a single-family branch line.
7) Do copper DWV cleanouts count toward a sustainable or LEED-focused project?
Copper is reusable and recyclable, which is why it shows up on sustainable specs, and Nibco copper fittings are made in an ISO 9001 certified facility.
