6 RAISED HEAD BRASS PLUG

🧰 6" brass raised-head cleanout plug (plumbing fitting)

It is a large threaded brass pipe plug used to seal cleanout openings in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems.

🔧 What it is

A raised-head brass cleanout plug used in plumbing systems to:

• Seal off a cleanout access point
• Allow future access for drain clearing or inspection
• Provide a serviceable closure on sewer or drainage lines

⚙️ Key features

• Size: 6 inch nominal pipe size
• Material: Brass (corrosion resistant)
• Head style: Raised square or hex head
• Connection: Male pipe thread (MPT)
• Function: Removable pipe closure for cleanouts
• Designed for DWV (drain/waste/vent) systems

🏠 Where it’s used

• Sewer main cleanouts
• Building drain stacks
• Commercial and residential plumbing systems
• Access points for drain snakes or inspection

🧠 Simple explanation

It’s basically a big brass screw-in cap that seals a sewer/drain access opening but can be removed later for cleaning or repairs.

⚠️ Important note

• “6 inch” does NOT mean the plug is 6" wide flat-to-flat—it refers to the pipe size it threads into
• These are often installed into cast iron, PVC, or brass cleanout fittings
• They can seize over time and require heat or leverage to remove (very common in service work)
