Early in the development of plumbing systems the need for cleanouts was realized. This ood was met by placing a te of similar fitting inthe Fine with a loosely set cover over the branch opening. Escaping sewer gas and admission of surface water into the sewer proved this arrangement unsatisfactory and led tothe development of the cleanout with bolted gasketed cover and tothe present day common cleanout, which normally consists of an iron body ot ferrule with a tapered brass plug. The inadequacy of such devices is evident upon examination. They comply ony with the very minimum requitement, Existing standard ae not sfciently specific regarding weigh, stength, finish, and location or installation of cleanous. Some resus ar plugs which cannot be removed of break upon removal, inadequate tool openings, nd hazardous protuding heads in work ards. Clesnouts in general should be gas and watertight; provide quick and easy plug removals allow ample space for rodding tools; have means of adjustment to finish floor level, be stirative in appearance; and he designed to support whatever tfc i diected over them, ‘The benefits of basic design standards were apparent to cleanout manufacturers and a study was intnted as an industry effort in 1961, Prior tothe completion ofthis work, the American National Standards Commitee AIT2, Standardization of Plumbing Mattals and Equipment, was organized and Panci No. 36 of this committe was assigned the responsibilty t0 develop standards for cleanout. The first meeting was held on September 12, 1967, A rough draft of this Standard was submitted March 20, 1968 tothe Task Force members. Revisions were made and the proposed Standard was submitted to members of Panel No. 36 for tei approval. Following approval ofthe proposal by the Pane, the American National Standards Committee AII2, and the ALT2 Secretariat, this daft was adopted as an Ametican National Standard by the Ametican National Standards Institute on February 1, 1975. This Standard was reviewed in 1989 resulting in minor changes, additions, and clarifications. The revised document was approved by Panel 36, the A112 Standards Committee, and the Secretariat. Subsequently this modified version was adopted by the American National Standards Institute om August 16, 1991 ‘Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcomed. They should be set to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, United Engineering Center, 345 East 47th Stet, New York, N-Y. 10017,ASME ALL2-3b-2M 92 MM 0759670 0503026 9 a ASME STANDARDS COMMITTEE A112 Standardization of Plumbing Materials and Equipment (The folowing isthe roster of the Commitee atthe time of approval ofthis Standard.) e@ OFFICERS P.J.
