Given:
708.1.5
Cleanouts shall be the same size as the piping served by the cleanout, except that cleanouts for piping larger than 4 inches (102 mm) need not be larger than 4 inches (102 mm).Exceptions:
- A removable P-trap with slip or ground joint connections can serve as a cleanout for drain piping that is one size larger than the P-trap size.
- Cleanouts located on stacks can be one size smaller than the stack size.
- The size of cleanouts for cast-iron piping can be in accordance with the referenced standards for cast-iron fittings as indicated in Table 702.4.
708.1.10
Cleanouts for 6-inch (153 mm) and smaller piping shall be provided with a clearance of not less than 18 inches (457 mm) from, and perpendicular to, the face of the opening to any obstruction. Cleanouts for 8-inch (203 mm) and larger piping shall be provided with a clearance of not less than 36 inches (914 mm) from, and perpendicular to, the face of the opening to any obstruction.Does a removable P-trap for a kitchen sink in a cabinet, used as a required cleanout, meet the 18" clearance requirement, or do the walls of the cabinet, the floor of the cabinet, and the sink basin/possible garbage disposal encroach on the clearance?
Thanks!
