Review on Oatey 33403 4-Inch Plastic Plug with Galvanized Screw and Wing Nut by Michael Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits 4 " bore cast iron breather

70 year old cast iron breather was unthreaded, brass cap could not be unscrewed. The hole was just under 4 inches, I measured it at 3-7/8 inches. This lid fitted perfectly with just a few turns of a massive oversized wing nut. The best part is that if I ever need access, it's easy to remove. The flush port is on the top of the U-trap so it's not pressurized and the water normally never makes contact with the cap, so I have no idea if this cap will hold up to pressure. This 4 inch cap replaced a brass cap that is marked 3-1/2 but actually measures 3-7/8 to the outside edge of the threads. I don't know how plumbers manage to keep track of all these weird dimensions. Best of all, this connector was a lot cheaper than the alternatives, a third the price of a Czerne connector, and it fits better and is more convenient to use.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Empty
