A plumber needs to install a two-way cleanout on a 6" sewer line but cannot find an affordable 6x6x6 fitting and is unsure if using two 6x6x4 wye fittings would comply with plumbing codes.

No affordable, code-compliant 6x6x6 two-way cleanout fittings are available for 6" sewer pipe repairs, forcing consideration of potentially non-compliant alternatives.
