I "installed" RootX today in a home I have lived in for a short time. I applied pipe dope on the cleanout but had a hardtime tightening it down because it had too much crud on it. It appears it has been frequently removed, probably due to the roots. I am not sure if the compound was not applied thoroughly, or I damaged the thread but a little water dripped out when I flushed the RootX with water from an upstairs bathtub. The pipe is 4".
I plan to first clean off the tons of old pipe joint compound (wire brush?). My question is:
Should I use a new standard plug?
or
Should I switch to a wingnut plug? (Is that permitted for my vertical cleanout?)
I plan on applying the RootX once a year so easy access is worth the money IMO.
Thanks!
