How do install a main line cleanout in clay pipe?
I would like to install a cleanout for my main drain line from my house to the city sewer system. There is no existing cleanout access for the main sewer drain line. House details: Huntington Beach, CA single-family tract house built 1960. Today I dug a hole to access the clay drain line. The drain line was appox. 3 feet below grade. I also found that a 45 degree wye exists approx. 2 feet from the foundation, which is plugged or capped. What materials will I need to connect a cleanout to my drain line? The wye is 7 1/2″OD and 6 1/4″ID. I plan to visit Home Depot and my local plumbing store tomorrow, but hopefully some pro plumbers on this site will chime in. Thanks in advance for the advice!
