Abstract

A sewer cap removal socket. The sewer cap removal socket includes a base plate. The base plate is defined by a first side oppositely disposed of a second side. An upper wall extends from the first side of the base plate. The upper wall forms a first interface. A lower wall extends from the second side of the base plate, opposite of the upper wall. The lower wall defines a second interface. An aperture is disposed in the base plate.

Claims (33)

1. A sewer cap removal socket, comprising:

a base plate having a first side and a second side;

an upper wall extending from the first side of the base plate;

the upper wall defining a first interface;

a lower wall extending from the second side of the base plate;

the lower wall defining a second interface;

an aperture disposed in the base plate;

wherein the aperture comprises a socket integrally disposed therein.

2. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the aperture comprises a socket interface dimensioned to receive a socket wrench.

3. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the aperture comprises an interface dimensioned to receive a breaker bar.

4. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the upper wall defines a larger perimeter than the lower wall.

5. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the upper wall defines a smaller perimeter than the lower wall.

6. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are each of a square shape having rounded corners.

7. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the base plate, upper wall and lower wall are made of aluminum.

8. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 1 , wherein the base plate, upper wall and lower wall are powder coated.

9. A sewer cap removal socket, comprising:

a base plate having a first side and a second side;

an upper wall extending from the first side of the base plate;

a lower wall extending from the second side of the base plate;

an aperture disposed in the base plate;

a socket integrally and centrally disposed in the aperture;

wherein the upper wall defines a first interface corresponding to a first sewer cap size;

wherein the lower wall defines a second interface corresponding to a second sewer cap size;

wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are each of a square shape having rounded corners.

10. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 9 , wherein the base plate, upper wall and lower wall are made of aluminum.

11. The sewer cap removal socket of claim 9 , wherein the base plate, upper wall and lower wall are powder coated.

12. A method of removing a sewer cap, comprising:

providing a sewer cap removal device, comprising a base plate having a first side and a second side, an upper wall extending from the first side of the base plate, a lower wall extending from the second side of the base plate, an aperture disposed in the base plate, a socket integrally disposed in the aperture, wherein the upper wall defines a first interface corresponding to a first sewer cap size, wherein the lower wall defines a second interface corresponding to a second sewer cap size, wherein the upper wall and the lower wall are each of a square shape having rounded corners;

engaging a sewer cap with one of the first interface or the second interface;

engaging the socket with a socket tool;

rotating the socket with the socket tool in a direction to loosen and remove the sewer cap.

13. The method of removing a sewer cap of claim 12 , wherein the socket tool is a socket wrench.

14. The method of removing a sewer cap of claim 12 , wherein the socket tool is a breaker bar.
