OATEY 74179 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size pipe does the Oatey 74179 cleanout connect to?
The Oatey 74179 has a 4 inch PVC hub base, so it solvent-welds over the outside of 4 inch PVC DWV pipe. The hub slips over the pipe end, which means you need the pipe stubbed up to the finished level you want rather than a threaded or compression connection.
2) Can I use the Oatey 74179 on cast iron or ABS pipe?
No. It is a PVC hub base, which is solvent-cemented to PVC DWV pipe only. For cast iron you would need a cleanout with a caulk or no-hub base, and ABS requires ABS cement and an ABS-bodied cleanout, so match the base material to the pipe in the floor.
3) Is the cover on the Oatey 74179 cleanout metal or plastic?
The cover is nickel bronze, 6 inches, with a square ring. The base and hub are PVC, so you get a plastic body with a metal walking surface, which is the usual combination for a floor-level cleanout in a finished area.
4) Will a 6 inch cleanout cover fit in a tile floor with a square ring?
The 74179 pairs a 6 inch round nickel bronze cover with a square ring, so the ring gives you a straight edge to set tile or terrazzo against while the access cover itself stays round. That is why the square ring version is normally specified for finished floors instead of a plain round collar.
5) Does the Oatey 74179 come as a complete cleanout or do I buy the cover separately?
It ships as a complete general purpose cleanout: the 4 inch PVC hub base, the 6 inch nickel bronze cover and the square ring. The only things you add on the job are PVC primer and cement for the hub joint.
6) What is the Oatey part number and how heavy is the 4 inch cleanout assembly?
Order it as Oatey 74179. The assembly weighs 4 lb, which is what you would expect with a nickel bronze top on a PVC body, light enough to set by hand during rough-in.
