Mike Lamb Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 Does a sewer clean-out need to be accessible within the home if one is installed outside? If so, a reference please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Does a sewer clean-out need to be accessible within the home if one is installed outside? If so, a reference please. Depends on distance, bends, etc. What code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted February 24, 2015 Report Share Posted February 24, 2015 Division 29 Chapter 18 is about as close as I can get....... Highlighting at end seems to address the issue....sort of.... 18-29-708.3.5 Building drain and building sewer junction. There shall be a cleanout near the junction of the building drain and the building sewer. The cleanout shall be either inside or outside the building wall and shall be brought up to the finished ground level or to the basement floor level. An approved two-way cleanout is allowed to be used at this location to serve as a required cleanout for both the building drain and building sewer. The cleanout at the junction of the building drain and building sewer shall not be required if the cleanout on a 3-inch (75 mm) or larger diameter soil stack is located within a developed length of 10 feet (3.05 m) of the building drain and building sewer connection.
