This safety cleanout cap system provides for the removal of water and debris from drains. It consists of a flow channel having sidewalls, a turning segment and a downward bend. The turning segment is on the same lateral plane as the safety cleanout cap and has left and right side depressions that extend above the downward bend. The depressions have tracks that are formed to diverge inwardly between top and bottom lateral edges and cooperatively receive and prevent tools from upward and downward movement along the sidewalls of the flow channel. The safety cleanout cap can be attached to pipe fittings in order to regulate the flow of fluid in compressed spaces.
