Why a Cleanout Kit is Important

Adding a cleanout to your plumbing system provides a critical access point for inspection, maintenance, and clearing of clogs. Without a cleanout, homeowners and plumbers face costly and invasive methods to reach the sewer line when problems arise. By installing this kit, you:

• Enable direct sewer camera inspections to detect blockages, cracks, or root intrusion.

• Provide a safe and quick access point for snaking or hydro-jetting the sewer line.

• Protect your property from unnecessary excavation or damage.

• Extend the service life of your plumbing by making maintenance easier and more effective.

How to Install a Plumbing Cleanout | Add Access to Inspect Sewer Line

In an older home with no convenient sewer line access, adding a cleanout is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. By installing a cleanout in the main 2" PVC drain line of this old house, it allows you to easily inspect the sewer line to the street with a sewer camera. Without a cleanout, there is no proper access point in the basement where the main sewer exited the house.

Here’s how to get it done:

1. Locate the Main Drain Line
   Identify the section of pipe before it exits the foundation wall or floor. Choose a straight run that allows space for cutting and installing the wye fitting.

2. Cut into the PVC Line
   Shut off water use in the house. Use a PVC saw to cut into the main drain line where the cleanout will be installed.

3. Install the WYE Fitting

   • Dry-fit the 2" DWV WYE Hub Skew Y-Tee into the cut section.

   • Use PVC primer and cement to bond the fittings.

   • Ensure the angled hub faces upward or at a slight angle for easy access.

4. Add the Female Adapter

   • Cement the spigot x FIPT female adapter into the WYE hub.

   • This creates the threaded connection for the cleanout plug.

5. Thread in the Cleanout Plug

   • Insert the MIPT cleanout plug and hand-tighten securely.

   • Use thread sealant if needed to ensure a watertight fit.

Once installed, this cleanout provides immediate access for future maintenance, inspections, or emergency drain clearing.
