I have 3 "normal" returns (just straight pipe through the plaster) and another "return" for the automatic vac./cleaner. I have rubber plugs that fit the 3, but the vac return has a twist lock type connection to it, and doesn't appear that it would accept any of the plugs I have. Do I treat it like the main drain and just use the valves to cut it off once I'm blowing air out or should I have some sort of cap/plug that fits it?

TIA

Welcome to TFP!!

The twistlock connector should unscrew from the wall, allowing you to use a threaded plug in the port 8-)

If you're still having trouble with this, let us know the model of your cleaner and we'll help you figure out the best way to winterize this line :)
