-
Flush cleanout design — built-in access point that simplifies snaking and clearing blockages without adding extra bulk to the line.
-

Applications and use cases
This flush cleanout tee is ideal for locating a cleanout point along a 1-1/2 in DWV line in basements, laundry rooms, crawl spaces, or utility closets where access is convenient for maintenance. Use it to retrofit an existing run or include it in new installations to ensure quick, reliable access for snaking clogs or conducting inspections. The dual hub ends streamline alignment with standard 1-1/2 in ABS piping, while the 1-1/2 in FPT end accepts a standard cleanout plug or cap for a secure seal when not in use.
Installation and practical tips
- Prepare the pipe run and confirm a correct 1-1/2 in diameter match across all hub connections.
- Clean the mating surfaces, then apply ABS cement designed for 1-1/2 in ABS pipe to the hub ends before joining the fittings. Allow the joint to cure according to the cement manufacturer’s instructions.
- For the FPT end, thread a standard 1-1/2 in cleanout plug or cap to seal the port when the cleanout is not in use.
- Ensure the installation location is accessible for maintenance tools like a plumber’s snake, and avoid burying the fixture underground unless specifically rated for such conditions.
- Verify that the overall configuration maintains proper slope for the DWV run to prevent standing water near the cleanout.
