I have an old rusted clean out outside that I want to open. But it has not been opened for 15 years and the thread is rusted.
I tried to put some WD40 (Degrip oil) regularly in the thread and unscrew the cap with a plumber wrench (Pics 1) with no success.
(The clean out cap is slightly inside the wall and do not give me a good grab with the plumber wrench that rips, and damages the corner of the square grab..)
The cap has a square male grab: the sides are ~33mm (2 1/3 in). But I cannot find the tool anywhere.
I believe the old cast pipe is 2 in.
Can you tell me where to find the tool to open this clean out with enough torque? (No plastic, needs leverage)
There is no emergency. I just want to open this clean out for the next plumbing emergency.
My next move will be to cut the old 2" cast pipe in the scroll place. I already got the ABS replacement pipes and clean out (Pics). But I am not there yet. For now my question is where can I find this old wrench? (And save the painful cast cutting in a 2 ft high space!)
Thank you all for your help!
