OATEY 74218 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Oatey 74218 cleanout be installed in a concrete slab floor?
Yes. A PVC-base cleanout with a cast brass round top is the standard general purpose floor cleanout for slab pours: the base glues onto the 4 inch stub, the assembly is set to finish grade, and the brass top takes foot and cart traffic once the concrete cures.
2) Is the cover on the Oatey 74218 brass or plastic?
Cast brass. The 74218 pairs a PVC base with a 6 inch cast brass cover and round top, which is what inspectors and property managers generally want in a finished floor area, since a plastic cover scuffs and cracks under traffic.
3) What is the cover diameter on the Oatey 74218, and will it cover my existing 4 inch opening?
The cover is 6 inches, mounted on a 4 inch PVC base. That gives roughly an inch of brass past a 4 inch pipe on every side, so it conceals the glue joint and a slightly oversize core or sleeve around a 4 inch stub.
4) Do I need anything else to install the Oatey 74218, or is the cleanout complete?
The 74218 ships as the assembly: 4 inch PVC base, 6 inch cast brass cover and round top. On the job you still supply PVC primer and solvent cement for the 4 inch joint, and whatever you are using to set it to grade in the pour.
5) What is the Oatey part number to order this 4 inch cleanout with the brass cover?
Oatey model 74218. Order by that number to get the 4 inch PVC base with the 6 inch cast brass cover and round top rather than one of the plastic-cover versions in the same general purpose family.
6) Should I use a general purpose cleanout like this or a cast iron adjustable floor cleanout?
A general purpose cleanout with a PVC base, like the 74218, suits PVC DWV lines in residential, light commercial and multi-family work where the pipe is already plastic and the top sits flush in a slab or finished floor. Go to a cast iron adjustable cleanout instead when the drain line is hub-and-spigot cast iron, when the floor height is still uncertain and you need vertical adjustment after the pour, or where a heavy-duty traffic rating is specified.
7) How heavy is the Oatey 74218 cleanout?
It weighs 4 lb, most of that in the cast brass cover. That matters if you are ordering a dozen for a multi-family rough-in: a case gets heavy fast compared with an all-plastic cleanout of the same 4 inch size.
