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.
