minus-squareDavid_Eight@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·13 days agoSewer cleanout probably. Never seen a cap like this before though, looks kinda flimsy. Maybe get a piece of plywood and cutout/drill for holes that align with the nubs and turn the plywood so you can put force on all four nubs?
minus-squareEvacuateSoul@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-213 days agoThese have a spring loaded flap in the center that lets out sewage if there’s a blockage downstream. Lets it out in the yard instead of your house. As for opening, I use channel locks opened up all the way wide on two of the adjacent lugs and turn left. Source: former sewer worker that would whipline these and televise.
