Saving clean-outs, removing posi-temp cartridges, clearing house traps
Tool Tips—June 2014
It’s good to have a run of PVC male adapters from 1 1/4 in. to 4 in. on hand when on a drain-cleaning job to remove the clean-out plug. Put the adapter in place of the plug to protect the clean-out threads from the drain-cleaning cable. The adapters can be used on brass or PVC clean-outs. Put the adapters on a wire and hang them on your drain-cleaning machine so they are always available.
