Thanks! AND at this time, I'm ALSO considering how I can modify the final top connections for this new needed clean out, so that the Clean out can be used for 2 possible future uses of: A handy yard Sink! An RV holding tanks drain to sewer line hook up! I believe these should be considerations for a job well done for installing clean outs. Additionally the yard sink can maintain the awareness of where the clean out is when needed! Also label the clean out if we can like if it's next to a fence, mark the fence with an arrow pointing to the clean out, so any gardening in that area is done carefully. A discussion of this in another video would be great.
My experience: a drain/sewer line 3ft deep and deeper that is clogged will benefit greatly from the double wye configuration. I typically use an Electric Eel machine that runs an 1-1/4" cable; however, if I'm using the Ridgid K7500 drum machine with 3/4" cables I have greater flexibility in the cable so I didn't need the assistance of the wye as much. So, to directly answer your question, I consider any drain cleanout 5ft deep or deeper very deep for the purpose of installing a two-way cleanout tee.
That’s absurd my company “Honest Abe’s Plumbing and Clean out Installations” are prepared to handle the installation for you and go as low as $2,499.00
The mechanical fittings are used when installing a cleanout in an existing system where you are "pipe locked" and don't have axial movement to enable the use of regular solvent weld fittings. Please always refer to your local plumbing code when installing plumbing fittings. The plumbing code that is approved for your area will list approved joints.
In my application, having clay sewer pipe on both sides can those fittings connection fittings shown in video work? Also should we not use abs pipes for plumming? Thought pvc is not good for plumbing and longevity.
According to Furnco.com the bands should be tighten to 60in lbs. I typically use a Ridgid R31410 Torque Wrench but there are "tricks of the trade" such as setting a drill chuck to slip at close to tightness with a 5/16" nut driver that can be used to greatly improve efficiency on larger jobs.
@thegribblereport8383 Depending on what "green pipe" you mentioned, you may need an adapter. Some SDR pipe (SDR 26, SDR. 30, and SDR 35) that is primarily used in sewer applications is green and has a smaller outside diameter than the typical schedule 40 DWV pipe. The smaller OD of that "green pipe" requires the use of an adapter bushing in order to be used with typical SCH 40 DWV fittings.
Yup, don't use a 2 way Clean out on a pipe that is too deep. Because once that line gets clogged you can't see nothing or know what direction the cable or hose bladder is going...so it's better to use the the 2- 4 inch combo littys...
get rid of those rubber fernco's. the 2 big 4" combo's dont allow visual but do allow cleanout towards street and poop stopper overflow towards house. snake easy on deep cleanout if you know how to use the snake .BUT with all that said-i dont care you keep preaching cause so many from old days ignored code about cleanouts.. so anything that will make them add it like they supposed to helps-appreciate it.
I was originally going to use a sanitary tee in my installation but now am using the sweeping cleanouts you illustrated here.
wow i'm glad i watched this, was about to make a mistake for sure! thanks
A very good explanation of why something is done a certain way.

Some great points here. Thanks for describing the difference between the combination clean out and wye.
What’s considered very deep and shallow when you were talking about the depth of a sewer cleaner being able to work efficiently
My experience: a drain/sewer line 3ft deep and deeper that is clogged will benefit greatly from the double wye configuration. I typically use an Electric Eel machine that runs an 1-1/4" cable; however, if I'm using the Ridgid K7500 drum machine with 3/4" cables I have greater flexibility in the cable so I didn't need the assistance of the wye as much.

Excellent! Very clear explanation.
It was very helpful, I appreciate you took the time to do that.

Thank you, just had a plumbing company quote me a price of three thousand dollars for what you just described. I'll keep you updated.

Thank you that clean out tip help me thank you sir
Are SD 4" plug the same thread as pvc 4" pipe
i get the reason for the directional cleanouts, but i never have trouble going backwards up a tee, even if it's a sani tee
Thank you for the great explanation. Just one question, what is fernco used for?
If you're installing a cleanout on an existing system they aid in the installation.
Do you have to use the mechanical fittings at the cleanout, or can you use a coupling if you're attaching to a 4" PVC line?
The mechanical fittings are used when installing a cleanout in an existing system where you are "pipe locked" and don't have axial movement to enable the use of regular solvent weld fittings.

@@plumburgency7131 Understood, thank you for the quick reply!

can indirect discharge be made to sewer cleanout with a p-trap?
How much do you tighten the 'fernco' (sp?) rubber sleeve?
According to Furnco.com the bands should be tighten to 60in lbs. I typically use a Ridgid R31410 Torque Wrench but there are "tricks of the trade" such as setting a drill chuck to slip at close to tightness with a 5/16" nut driver that can be used to greatly improve efficiency on larger jobs.
Thank you!
How do you cut a pipe 4" and make it come out 6"?
Thanks very good information
Why doesn’t my green 4” pipe fit the 4” clean out T I bought

if you are not an experienced plumber please do not go towards the house. yes it is possible to with the snake blow a toilet apart.

No point installing a cleanout if it not a two way.
