IPS 83689 3.5-Inch Flush Mechanical Cleanout Repair Plug

I had the replace the plug clean out in my basement because I had to destroy it to get it out. The old one was a screw in and was completely flush with the floor. The new one sticks 1/4” above the floor surface but does not interfere with door which has to open above it. I like the flush screw head and the fact that it’ll be easy to remove if I ever need to in the future. It came with 3 Allen head wrench which was a bit of an overkill, but not a problem. It seals well and is built sturdy.

There is a flush out on our driveway that is only a few feet from our garage door. It is almost impossible to avoid driving over it. Eventually the inner pvc threads broke and pvc caps would no longer stay in place.This has been a pain in the butt for the last 10 years.This is perfect and so far has functioned flawlessly. It is flush with the driveway and completely flat- so I no longer need to worry about driving over it. This has solved an issue that has been a thorn in my side for a decade.

DESCRIPTION WRONG! This is 4-1/4" across, it will not fit into a 4" pipe. Get the smaller one for a 4" pipe. I dont know about a 4" threaded pipe, my pipe is 4" internal pipe with no threads. But whatever you do make sure your pipe is 4-1/4" on the inside to use this item.

This plug fit perfectly. I’ve been having issues finding a plug for a 4” pipe. I finally measured the inside diameter of the pipe and looked for plugs accordingly. This was the only flush mount one that I found that would fit. It comes with everything you need for the install.

Not the heaviest duty cover, but will work for the side of my driveway. Installed it with zero difficulty. Make sure you read the specifications carefully, which I did before buying. This says 3.5" diameter, but it fits my 4" internal diameter pipe perfectly and it tightens up no problem (i.e., it is tight when installed and tightened with the included hex wrench). I spent hours researching the correct cover to install over this sewer cleanout pipe. Lived in the house for 8 years before I figured out the hole in the driveway was connected to the sanitary sewer (cleanout connection), after it cost $500 to remove the plastic cup that some yo-yo put in the hole years ago as a cover, which caused the line to become totally blocked.

Buyer beware—I ordered 2 neither of them had the “provided Allen wrench” if it was a normal size, I wouldn’t mind at all BUT it’s not, it’s a giant size.

Needed to cap off a floor drain in my basement, that occasionally let water IN and not out. So I got this flush-mount cap and all is well. Problem solved, no more water backing up from a slow utility sink drain.

My clean-up trap is buried in the floor with a piece of flooring material over it to hide it. The trap is so close to the underlayment that there is very little clearance. This cap works well and is easy to tighten, but I had to trim the plastic lip around the edge in a couple places just to get it to fit and still get the flooring material back over the top of it. Trimming was easy enough with a hacksaw (just dense plastic material), but is there really a need for such a large lip?
