OATEY 42372 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does this Oatey cleanout plug meet the Southern Plumbing Code raised square head requirement?
It does. The 42372 has a raised square head, which is what Southern Plumbing Codes call for on cleanout plugs. That raised head also gives you something to grab when the plug has been in service a while.
2) Can this brass cleanout plug be used on a pressurized line?
No. The 42372 is rated for a maximum working pressure of 10 psi, which is a drain, waste and vent rating, not a supply rating. Use it on gravity DWV cleanouts only. Anything carrying system pressure needs a rated pressure fitting instead.
3) What do I use to tighten or remove a 3 inch Oatey brass cleanout plug?
Slip joint pliers on the raised square head. The head stands proud of the fitting so you can get jaws on it without chewing up the fitting hub. No special wrench or socket is needed, which is why these are the plug of choice on service calls where the existing plastic plug has seized.
4) Why choose a brass cleanout plug over the plastic one that came with the fitting?
Two reasons property managers and drain cleaners replace plastic with brass: the brass body takes repeated removal without the square head rounding off or splitting, and it holds up where a cleanout gets opened routinely for rodding or camera work. The brass 42372 also satisfies the raised square head requirement in Southern Plumbing Codes, which some plastic plugs do not.
5) Will a cleanout plug keep sewer gas out of the building?
That is its job. The 42372 caps off the cleanout opening to help prevent sewer gas from entering the space. If you are smelling gas near an accessible cleanout, a missing, cracked, or loose plug is the first thing to check before you go looking at traps and vents.
