Abstract

A dual-interface sewer cap removal device is provided. The device includes a base plate with a first side provided opposite a second side. A first interface is defined on the first side of the base plate. The first interface is designed to engage a slotted sewer cap. A second interface is defined on the second side of the base plate. The second interface is designed to engage a sewer cap. The second interface is structurally distinct from the first interface. An aperture is centrally disposed on the base plate.

Claims (15)

1. A dual-interface sewer cap removal device, comprising:

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

a first interface defined on the first side of the base plate;

the first interface configured to engage a slotted sewer cap;

a second interface defined on the second side of the base plate;

wherein the second interface is configured to engage a sewer cap;

wherein the second interface is structurally distinct from the first interface;

an aperture centrally disposed on the base plate.

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

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

4. The dual-interface sewer cap removal device of claim 1 , wherein the first interface comprises a pair of protrusions linearly parallel on opposing sides of the aperture.

5. The dual-interface sewer cap removal device of claim 1 , wherein the second interface comprises four protrusions, wherein a first pair of protrusions are linearly parallel on opposing sides of the aperture and the second pair of protrusions are linearly parallel on opposing sides of the aperture, wherein the second pair of protrusions are linearly perpendicular to the first pair of protrusions.

6. The dual-interface sewer cap removal device of claim 1 , wherein the second interface comprises a lower wall extending from the second side of the base plate.

7. The dual-interface sewer cap removal device of claim 6 , wherein the lower wall is of a square shape having rounded corners.

8. The dual-interface sewer cap removal device of claim 1 , wherein the aperture is disposed entirely through the base plate.
