What is AGM upvc CleanOut 3″ ?

 

The AGM uPVC Cleanout (3″ Schedule 40) is a high-quality plumbing fitting manufactured by Arabian Gulf Manufacturers (AGM) in Saudi Arabia.¹ It is designed specifically for access and maintenance in drainage and sewerage systems.

Below is the detailed information regarding its specifications, usage, and installation.

1. Product Description

The Cleanout is a removable plug or capped fitting installed in a piping system to allow access for cleaning or inspecting the interior of the pipes (typically using a plumber’s snake or “rooter”).

• Brand: AGM (Arabian Gulf Manufacturers Ltd.)²

• Country of Origin: Saudi Arabia (Riyadh/Jeddah).³

• Material: uPVC (Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride), which is more rigid and chemical-resistant than standard PVC.

• Color: Usually White (standard for Schedule 40).

2. Technical Specifications

AGM follows international standards to ensure the fitting is compatible with global piping systems.

3. Usage & Applications

• Sewerage & Drainage (DWV): Used in “Drain, Waste, and Vent” (DWV) systems to provide an entry point for clearing blockages in 3″ main lines.

• Water Supply: It is not typically used for potable water supply lines under constant pressure, but rather for the wastewater side of the water system.

• Commercial & Industrial: Often used in factories or commercial buildings where chemical resistance is required for liquid waste disposal.

4. Installation Instructions

To ensure a leak-proof and durable connection, follow these steps:

1. Preparation: Cut the 3″ pipe square and remove all burrs. Clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the cleanout socket with a uPVC cleaner/primer.

2. Solvent Welding: Apply a liberal coat of uPVC Solvent Cement (AGM recommends using their own or compatible brands like Weld-On) to both the pipe end and the cleanout socket.

3. Joining: Push the pipe into the socket with a slight quarter-turn to distribute the cement. Hold for 30 seconds.

4. The Plug: Tighten the threaded plug firmly. Apply Teflon Tape (PTFE) on the plug’s threads to make future removal easier and prevent odors from escaping.

5. Placement: Install at the base of vertical stacks, at horizontal changes in direction greater than 45°, and at intervals of no more than 100 feet in long horizontal runs.

5. Key Advantages

• Corrosion Proof: Being imported from Saudi Arabia, these are built to withstand high temperatures and harsh soil conditions (high salinity/alkalinity).

• Lead-Free: AGM uPVC is typically lead-free, making it environmentally friendly.

• Smooth Bore: The high-finish interior prevents the buildup of “biofilm” or waste, reducing the frequency of clogs.

Note: Always check for the Saso (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) mark on the fitting to confirm it is a genuine AGM import.
