An elongated floor cleanout assembly includes a drain assembly. The drain assembly has a body assembly and a grating cover secured to the body assembly by at least one screw. The drain assembly also has a cap enclosing the drain assembly and secured to the grating cover by the at least one screw. The cap defines at least one slit having an arcuate portion and an end. The at least one screw is captured in the arcuate portion and the cap can be rotated to selectively allow the at least one screw to freely pass through the end for removal of the cap without removing the at least one screw.

a cylindrical housing having both radially outward threads and radially inward threads;
a cylindrical shank having a throughbore defining an inlet, and at least one screw hole, the cylindrical shank having radially outward threads for threadable engagement with the radially inward threads of the cylindrical housing at a user-selected depth; and
a grating cover coupled to the cylindrical shank by at least one screw that is threadably received in the at least one screw hole;
a cap covering and secured to the grating cover by the at least one screw threadably engaged with the at least one screw hole, wherein the cap defines at least one slit having an arcuate portion and an enlarged end in a side wall of a recessed portion of a top surface of the cap;
wherein the at least one screw is captured in the arcuate portion and the cap can be rotated to selectively allow the at least one screw to freely pass through the enlarged end for removal of the cap without removing the at least one screw.
