Hey guys. I recently bought a house (about 2 years old - built by the
guy I bought it from) and when I had the inspector come in he
mentioned that I would want to get a cover for the "sewer cleanout" in
the basement. I went to the hardware store today and the guy had no
idea what I was talking about, but he directed me to a drum trap
cover. I told him I was going to go check the diameter of the pipe.
I then googled drum trap cover to find some and read about how they
are only in old houses. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

The right direction is right down to the parts counter of the nearest
plumbing supply house that will sell to the public. Unfortunately, in
some areas there is a distributor/plumbers cartel and they won't talk
to you or sell you parts (you could kill yourself with a 3/4" copper
el or other lethal repair items and they don;t want to be
liable...right).
Even.cruising the plumbing section in one of the box stores could be
productive. People at Ace Hardware and True Value are better than
average at helping out. look for a flat disc-like thing with threads
on this edges IIRC. HTH
