Hello,
My neighbor, who is in his 80’s, has a pvc sewer cleanout pipe in his front yard, but the cover is missing, and he doesn’t know what happened to it. The cover is supposed to screw into the top of the cleanout pipe. I’ve tried to help him find a replacement, but even though we’ve been to several plumbing supply shops, we haven’t been able to find one that fits. He wants one that sits at ground level, so that his mower won't damage it.
Everyone that we talk to says that the cleanout pipe is normally a 4 inch pipe, but when we measure the threads at the top of his, we get about 4 5/8 diameter thread to thread. The ones that we’ve bought and had to return are about 4 1/2 inches across (thread to thread), and they just won’t fit.
His house is about 38 years old, but I assumed that the sewer cleanout pipe was of a standard size.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Louis
