OATEY 43573 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Oatey 43573 outlet cover fit 3 inch PVC Schedule 40 DWV pipe?
Yes. The 43573 snap-in outlet cover is sized to insert into 3 in. PVC Sch. 40 DWV pipe. It goes into the pipe socket, not over the outside, so measure the pipe you are capping as 3 in. DWV before ordering.
2) Can a drain outlet cover be removed later, or is it permanent once installed?
You choose at install. Insert the 43573 into 3 in. DWV pipe dry and it stays removable; solvent weld it and it is permanent. Note the cover itself is a one piece assembly, so the cap face does not pop out separately once the body is in the pipe.
3) What do I use to keep debris out of an open 3 inch drain stub during construction?
A snap-in outlet cover like the Oatey 43573 caps the open pipe and keeps dirt and debris from entering the piping. On a rough-in that will be finished later, set it dry so it pulls back out when the fixture or drain goes in; on a stub that is being abandoned in place, solvent weld it.
4) Is the Oatey 43573 a test plug or just a cover?
It is a cover, not a pressure test plug. The 43573 is an open pipe covering made of durable plastic that blocks dirt and debris. If you need to hold water for a DWV test, use a mechanical test plug or a knock-out test cap instead.
5) What glue works on the Oatey 43573 drain outlet cover?
It is PVC, so a standard PVC solvent cement and primer system for Sch. 40 DWV joints is what bonds it into the pipe. No cement is needed if you are inserting it dry for temporary protection.
