The Push-On Cleanout Less Gasket (Service Weight) with Countersunk Plug is designed to be pushed inside the hub of a cast iron pipe or fitting.
Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
-
"Push-On" refers to the installation method: it’s meant to be inserted into a hub or bell end of a pipe/fitting. The pipe hub has a factory-installed rubber gasket or you might need to use a lubricant and gasket for sealing.
-
"Less Gasket" means it doesn’t come with a gasket — you’ll need to use one if your pipe system requires it (common in cast iron DWV systems).
-
"Countersunk Plug" means the plug top sits flush with the cleanout fitting so it doesn’t protrude, often used in floor cleanouts.
