These plugs are designed for use in plumbing cleanout fittings where a removable cover is needed for access to drain lines. The brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in typical indoor plumbing environments.
Are AB&A wall cleanout covers available in different materials?

The model stocked by 3G Electric has a 4 in overall diameter and 1/4 in overall height, and includes screws for installation.

What connection types are used in AB&A bathtub drain and overflow kits?
AB&A bathtub drain and overflow kits use either solvent weld or screw connection types. Solvent weld connections are common for plastic piping systems, providing a permanent bond.
