Item number 68491 is a threaded 2-inch square head cleanout plug. It is composed of rigid Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) plastic. The threaded plug keeps the drain free of debris.

The plug features an elevated square-top design that requires a cleanout plug wrench to open, helping to prevent tampering. Item numbers 68509 and 68512 are threaded counter-sunk cleanout plugs. They consist of rigid ABS plastic. 68509 is a 3-inch plug and 68512 is a 2 ½ inch plug. The threaded plugs keep the drain free of debris.
