I am replacing my 4" clean out flush plug with something that will loosely go over the top instead. Like a flexible cap.
However, I am not sure if a 4" Fernco flexible cap with a hose clamp will just fit over the top as the outside diameter of the end of the clean out has those ridges that creating a larger outer diameter?
Here is a link to a 4" clean out that looks similar to what we have installed and poking out of the ground:

Ideally I need something that can sit on top and be a bit loose so if there is a back up the cap will be pushed away and the back flow will come out of the clean out. They make $25 devices that screw in but this could work for 4$ too?
Can a 4" flexible cap sit over a 4" clean out? Again check out how thick the outside diameter of the end of the clean out as shown in the link.
Before I buy these just wanted to see if anyone could give me some advise if they have done this?
Thanks!
