Question on Cleanouts for 115 ft. run of 4 inch Schedule 40 connecting to sewer main.

This is yet another illustration of how completely different the International Plumbing Code and the Uniform Plumbing Code are. The OP is in CA and the CPC is based off the UPC. As Ice and I have both pointed out the CPC any combination of fittings that exceeds 135 degrees without another cleanout. Three 45's, cool. Add a fourth and it needs another cleanout.
 
Sorry, oil separator.
As of right now, I am planning on having a cleanout about 10ft past the 2 45 turns for cosmetic reasons. Rough inspection is on Monday. If inspector wants a cleanout before the 2 45 turns, I will happily make that adjustment.

I will let you all know how it goes.~Robert
 
1 2 inch cleanout at the beginning of the run outside side of shower, and 1 4" ABS cleanout at about the 65 ft point of the 95ft run.

Passed.
