  • Patent number: 4823411
    Abstract: A cleanout extension adaptor for insertion into a cleanout extension construction in a plumbing arrangement. The cleanout extension adaptor includes a cylindrical body with a small, thin lip on the top for seating on the top of a cleanout extension. The cleanout extension adaptor has internal threads which accommodate a threaded plug that is contained within the confines of the cleanout extension when installed. The cleanout extension adaptor permits cutting the cleanout extension so that it is even with the surrounding surface. When the plug is inserted into the cleanout extension adaptor, the cleanout extension and plug are substantially even with the surrounding surface. This avoids cutting out or altering the surrounding surface in any way.
