Plumbing waste arm with clean out

Abstract

A plumbing waste arm with clean out has a waste arm adapted to connect to a wall drain pipe at one end and a clean out end at an opposite end. The clean out end has a threaded portion that engages with a cleanout portion cover to removably seal the clean out end. A vertical portion is disposed between the wall drain pipe end and the clean out end and connects to a p-trap using a slip nut. In use, a user removes the cap and feeds a snake in through the clean out opening. The clean out end may be angled to allow use in plumbing configurations where the p-trap is in the way of the clean out portion. The threaded portion may have exterior threads with a cap or interior threads with a plug.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap comprising:
 a waste arm portion having a waste pipe connecting end;   said waste arm connecting end adapted to connect to a wall waste pipe;   said waste arm portion having a clean out end;   said clean out end having a threaded portion therein;   a cleanout portion cover removably connected to said threaded portion wherein a clean out tool is inserted through said clean out end when said cleanout portion cover is removed;   a vertical portion disposed between said waster arm connecting end and said clean out end; and   said vertical portion adapted to attach to a p-trap.   
     
     
         2 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to  claim 1  further comprising a slip nut adapted to fit over a lower portion of said vertical portion and to threadedly engage said p-trap. 
     
     
         3 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to  claim 1  wherein said waste arm with clean out is made of poly (vinyl chloride). 
     
     
         4 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to  claim 1  wherein said clean out end is offset with respect to said waste arm portion wherein access to said clean out is enhanced in installations where said p-trap prevents access. 
     
     
         5 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to  claim 4  wherein said offset is between 30 to 45 degrees with respect to said waste arm portion. 
     
     
         6 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to  claim 4  wherein said offset is between −30 to −45 degrees with respect to said waste arm portion. 
     
     
         7 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to claim wherein said threaded portion is an externally threaded portion and said cleanout portion cover is a cap. 
     
     
         8 . The plumbing waste arm with clean out for use with a p-trap according to claim wherein said threaded portion is an internally threaded portion and said cleanout portion cover is a plug.
