A sewer line cleanout must be installed at the property line or at the point of connection to the public sewer system whichever is closer to the building served by the line. This cleanout must be equal in size to the sewer line it is servicing; however, a six-inch cleanout is the maximum required unless otherwise required by the plumbing code. This cleanout is in addition to the cleanouts required by the plumbing code; but if this cleanout is within five feet of a cleanout required by the plumbing code, then only the cleanout required by the plumbing code is needed. This cleanout must be level with or above the finished grade. If the cleanout is located in a paved area or other driving area it must be constructed to withstand such use, otherwise it must be of the same material as the sewer line or heavier. The lid must be a screw on type and approved for such use.
