cast iron cleanout adapter
Where my 4" cast iron sewer line exits the house there is a 4" combination
wye and 1/8 bend hub then it dips down and go under the concrete driveway. This 4" SV CI hub serves as the cleanout from that point downstream. There has always been a 4" test plug in that hub. Why not a real cleanout I don't know and I intend to rectify it. I know I can get a 4"x4" PVC donut gasket and then put in a 4" cleanout adapter. However, I prefer to use metal parts if at all possible, brass or cast. I went to Charlotte Pipe web site and tried to see if I can find the right parts but I do not see a part list. I think I need some sort of a adapter...for a 4" SV CI hub, that has a threaded ring on the inside for a full size cleanout plug. I don't know what this is called...I think to install it I would need to either epoxy it to the existing CI hub, or someone who is skilled to use oakum and pour a lead joint, then I can insert a threaded metal plug. Does anyone have an online source where I can see the parts with pictures? Also I did find a 4" brass plug. It's over $120.00. Is this highway robbery? How can it be so expensive? Are the cast iron parts cheaper? Thanks, MC |
