1. A removable valved access fitting comprising a valve body with a large, straight bore and a valve housing having inlet and outlet ports which ports substantially align with said bore when said body is in an open position, said housing being adapted for connection to a sewer line through said outlet port, said fitting adapted with an inlet port open to the environment to permit passage of a mechanical sewer cleaning apparatus through said inlet port, valve bore, and said outlet port, a removable sealable collar means adapted to be fitted on a neck of said outlet port, said collar means being wedgeable within said sewer line to retain said fitting therein, thereby said collar means being easily insertable and removable on said outlet port to prevent seizing between said sewer line and said fitting often caused by corrosion and so that a sewer blockage can be removed without the removal of said fitting from said sewer line, said inlet port adapted to receive a removable hollow connector; and a flexible hose having an inside diameter substantially the same as that of said valve bore, a connector end adapted for removable, sealable attachment to said inlet port and adapted to permit passage of said mechanical cleaning device through said flexible hole, said inlet port, said valve bore, said outlet port and into said sewer line for removal of sewer line blockage. 2. A valved access fitting according to claim 1 wherein said body and said housing have a stop-cook design and are mutually adapted for sealable movement of the body in the housing, and said outlet port is connected to said neck on which is removably mounted said collar means, said collar means being a substantially coaxial, flexible, rotatble collar, said neck and said collar being adapted for placement into said sewer line. 3. A fitting according to claim 2 wherein said inlet and outlet ports have substantially the same diameter and cross-sectional shape as said bore, said neck is partially conically shaped with an increasing cross-sectional diameter directed away from said outlet port, and has threads on its outside surface, said collar is made of elastomeric material, is adapted to fit said conically shaped neck, said valve body is cylinder shaped and has a means on one end adapted for turning said body, and said valve body and housing are mutually adapted to provide sealable movement of the valve body in the housing. 4. A fitting according to claim 3 wherein said valve body is slightly conically shaped and is held in said housing by a spring means attached to the valve body end opposite said turning means. 5. A fitting according to claim 4 which will fit a sewer line clean out access and will allow entry into said line by opening said valve body. 6. A fitting according to claim 1 wherein said housing is permanently connected to a drain trap pipe. 7. A fitting according to claim 6 wherein said drain trap pipe is connected to said valve housing outlet port by a barrel, and said pipe, barrel, outlet port, valve bore, and inlet port form a passageway, said valve body and housing comprising a large, straight bore stop cock oonfiguration mutually adapted to provide sealable, rotatable movement of the body in the housing. 8. A device according to claim 7 wherein the ends of said pipe are adapted for attachment to a plumbing fixture and sewer line and said barrel is connected to said pipe between said ends. 9. A device according to claim 8 wherein said barrel is connected to the portion of said pipe nearer the sewer line end of the pipe.
