Can you remove a PVC clean-out plug (screw-in type), and extend the
tube further? I mean, is there a screw-in female adapter that can be
permanently sealed into this kind of clean-out access port?

Naturally I would add another clean-out farther along, but I need a
few more inches of main pipe to add an additional inlet.

Thanks!

Is one of these what you are looking for? I'm not sure if a borg
would carry it, but I'll bet any plumbing supply house would.

Yes, that's perfect. Thanks! Do you know if you're supposed to teflon-
tape that or PVC-cement it?

Usually the threads are not glued, pipe dope or tape is used. BTW
drains are usuall ABS not PVC. The cement is different.

Its a gray-water system.

But ABS is not sold any more is it, at least at the big stores. (The
black plastic pipe, that is). Its all PVC now, as far as I can see.

Allow me to clarify. The permanent waste piping in a home is usually
ABS. The traps, tail pieces, etc at the sinks are PVC. The cleanouts
are usually associated with the permanent waste piping.

I believe it's a regional thing...in the mid-west you can use either,
and can't remember the last time I saw ABS used....most everyone uses
PVC. The local Lowes has both...pick yer poison!

IRC and UPC both allow ABS for drains. Where ABS is allowed, it is
generally more common than PVC. But this is a very regional thing, some
places still don't accept any plastic plumbing, others only allow some
of the reliable materials currently on the market.

Around here, in Washington State, I can't recall ever having seen a home
with PVC drain pipes, and few consumer-oriented hardware or warehouse
stores even stock PVC in DWV sizes.

Absolutely -- except you're looking for a *male* adapter. Any place that sells
PVC pipe and fittings should have these.

Cement it in place.
