Unscrewing cleanout cap
The cleanout cap on a 3" PVC sewer pipe is too tight to remove, it was tightned with a sealer many years ago. No glue was used. Are there any chemicals that can dissolve the sealer and penetrate to loosen the cap. Liquid wrench did not help.
Thanks, N. |

When that happens to me I use one of two ways to remove the cover.
1) I take a hammer and chisel and attempt to start it by seeing if I can jar it loose by tapping it counterclockwise to start it to unscrew. 2) If that fails I take the hammer and beat the cover out of there and replace it. Good luck, Tom |
