OATEY 42371 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 42371 cleanout plug thread into a 2-1/2 inch cast iron cleanout fitting?
Yes. The Oatey 42371 is a 2-1/2 inch brass cleanout plug with female threads, made to fit 2-1/2 in. fittings. Match the fitting size exactly, since the plug is a single size with no adapter.
2) Does this brass cleanout plug have the raised square head required by Southern plumbing codes?
It does. The 42371 uses a raised square head, which the manufacturer states meets Southern Plumbing Codes requiring a raised square head. The raised head also gives you something to grab when tightening.
3) Will a brass cleanout plug stop sewer gas smell coming from an open cleanout?
That is exactly what it is for. The 42371 caps off the pipe to help prevent sewer gas from entering the building. If you have an open or missing plug on a 2-1/2 inch cleanout fitting and smell gas in a unit, this is the part that closes it.
4) What pressure can a 2-1/2 inch Oatey brass cleanout plug hold?
Maximum working pressure is 10 psi. That is a drain, waste and vent plug, not a pressure fitting, so do not use it on a supply line or anywhere it will see line pressure.
5) What tool do I need to install the 42371 cleanout plug?
Slip joint pliers on the raised square head is what Oatey calls for. No special wrench or socket is needed, and nothing else ships with the plug, so bring thread sealant if your local practice calls for it.
6) Is the Oatey 42371 brass or plastic, and does it matter for an older drain line?
Brass. Oatey describes it as a durable brass design, which is what you want threading into cast iron or brass cleanout fittings on older DWV work where a plastic plug can distort under pliers.
