Mepco 1E cap drive size fitting?

ariccio

I'm trying to get the fairly stuck cap off a mepco 1e trap. I *could* buy the specialty trap cap wrench, but that seems wasteful. What's the size? Looks to be about 1 3/4 to me?

The largest home Depot had was the 1 1/2 water heater socket, which was a good idea but clearly too small.

Measure it. you can get a 6 point socket from lots of places. might need a 3/4" breaker bar too. e-bay might be a good place to get one or both cheap

I used a pipe wrench. Mine is 16 inches. You can use a cheater if it’s real stuck.

Believe it or not, I couldn't find my calipers earlier. Now, I looked again and found them in two seconds! Off to McMaster-carr...
