Midland Industries 970310 Cleanout Plug 3-1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 970310 is a 3-1/2 inch countersunk head cleanout plug constructed from cast brass. It is used to seal cleanout openings in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems, providing a removable access point for drain line inspection and snaking. The countersunk head design sits flush or below the fitting surface, making it well suited for installations where a low-profile closure is required. Licensed plumbers install this fitting during rough-in or service work on residential and light commercial drain systems. At 0.55 pounds, it is a solid, durable fitting built for long service life in buried or concealed applications.

This cleanout plug is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever a 3-1/2 inch cleanout access point is required. It is a Southern Code cast brass fitting, appropriate for installations governed by codes that specify brass cleanout closures in drain and waste lines. Typical install locations include floor cleanouts, wall cleanouts, and in-line drain cleanout fittings in cast iron or other compatible DWV piping assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber. Before removing or installing a cleanout plug, confirm that the drain line is not under pressure and that the area is clear of wastewater flow. Thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for brass fittings should be applied to the threads per applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Do not overtighten brass threaded fittings, as the material is subject to thread damage from excessive torque.
