Today I’m out running a real plumbing call. I’m going to show you how to build and install 2-way cleanouts from my point of view. I’ve seen 2 way cleanouts built differently from this, but this to me is the best way to build them, because it makes testing the sewer system very easy and accurate. Have you ever had to install 2 way cleanouts? Let me know in the comments!

@davidervin8217 4 года назад

Roger, love the videos. One question I have is when you are working with pvc on a horizontal ( or vertical) run in this video I see for instance you use a sureband on the one side and on the other end your are going right into the hub of the wye clean out. How do you get enough clearance to go into the hub and only use one sure band. And not two. I sometimes have trouble with getting the proper fit and not having a gap on one side of the pipe. Maybe you could a do a video on pipe clearance. I hope you understand my question and look forward to your response. Thank you for your time

@coltlemmon8568 3 года назад

@Roger Wakefield why not use a tee? Why 2 wye's? Here in Oklahoma (BOOMER SOONER) we use tees and schedule 40 nothing less I'll be honest I hate it when guys like you use wye's for c/os

@coltlemmon8568 3 года назад

@Top Dead Center yes that's plumber language it's technically called a sanitary tee but using 2 wye's in Oklahoma isn't code it has to be a sanitary tee aka 2-way cleanout

@coltlemmon8568 3 года назад

@Top Dead Center I'll be damned..... My boss used to do plumbing in Vegas back in the day.. I like watching plumbing videos because I like to know what's code in other states but ya man straight up here we use San ts we have to use a no hub if we put a new cleanout in. We have to use a saddle tee and silicone when we do our taps here as well. On water heaters if theirs no drain for the pan we have to install a pan alarm (which is totally new here)

Charging was always done in 15 minute intervals...

@Hjonvard 2 года назад

I am a drain tech and if I pulled up to a house that had a cleanout installed like this, I would be so happy. I usually cut 50 bucks off the service when the customers sewer has this configuration. It seems like every time there is a one way clean out it goes the wrong direction. When the cleanout has one of those two-way fittings the blockage is down stream, the riser is full and it's so deep that I have no way of telling which way the cable is going. Cutting the risers off so that the clean out body is above grade is also a great thing. I don't know many times I have had to run vents etc. because the clean out were buried or under snow. Why is your right hand so much stronger than your left? Never mind...Thanks for the vid!

@vanderzarth 3 года назад

Here in Germany we have mostly PVC or Cast Iron Pipes, at least for buried sewage pipes. The PVC is not glued but comes with pre-installed rubber gaskets in the sleeves, so you just push them together. And they are orange-brown. The community sewage pipe is mostly made from PE nowadays. Indoors the classic way is the gray HT-Pipe, which is made from polypropylene and can withstand temperatures up to 200°F/95°C.

@tylertyler6418 3 года назад

For everyone that loves straight tee or double eye clean outs. I was a drain cleaning professional for a while, a single tee or double wye cleanout sucks when you need to clean a drain and it’s full to the brim. Hard to tell if the cable is going out to the street or back Into the house. And those cables will break toilets if not careful.

Here in San Diego we typically use ABS on residential homes. Construction on high rise buildings when I was in the union we were still using cast iron. The only time I installed schedule 40 PVC we used it for a school. I think for big construction the reason why we used different type of pipes for drain was mainly for the budget of whoever was paying for the project. As a small business owner that mainly focuses on residential now I only use ABS for drains. Great channel Roger !

My area doesn’t use double combos really either. Lots of 2 way tees, and unfortunately lots of old school Kelley cleanouts that were popular during the 70s and 80s here.

@brianshawcroft7081 3 года назад

Yep in Idaho it's either a one way or a standard t as a 2 way 🤔

@Eddie-In-Las-Vegas 3 года назад

Actually two combos is the proper way to install a two way clean out because when it comes a time to snake that mainline the cable has a natural way to feed down the proper direction in which he/she is trying to cable snake the mainline. A two way clean out fitting is an approved fitting but not necessarily the better application to use for a proper mainline in ground sewer two way clean out.

@eddiekalista3222 3 года назад

EC L my reasoning against double cleanouts is the same as my reasoning against Kelley cleanouts. Any drain cleaner worth their gloves should be able to feed the snake any direction without the other stuff

In Oregon we use ABS mostly under the home, and fairly frequently all the way to tap/septic. Other than that we use HDPE for pipe bursts and directional boring, and new construction tends to be ABS under the home and 3034 to tap.
