I've got two questions regarding placement of cleanouts, with respect to aesthetics.
In the first case, I have back-to-back toilets. One drains/vents into the main stack, the other into a heel which is re-vented and eventually connects with the main stack after a few 90° jogs.
(1) My question here is whether I can have the cleanout for Toilet 'A' be accessed through the wall for Toilet 'B', and vice-versa? I figure I'd label the inside of the cover to remind me or any future plumbers that I pulled a switch-a-roo. I may put them BOTH on the wall behind Toilet 'B'. The reason I'm asking is Toilet 'A' will be turned 90° in a couple of years when I remodel the bathroom, and that would place its 4" cleanout right next to the feet of the user, and would be a bit of an eyesore when walking into the bathroom.
(2) This question involves access to cleanouts. I'm installing a second 4" cleanout that will either (a) be located on a wall facing a stairwell coming up from the floor below, or if I spin it 180°, will (b) be located within the dead space under a built-in oven in the kitchen. Option B may only allow me 11" of clearance under the oven to reach in, unscrew the cover, and feed a snake. The aforementioned 4" cleanout (in my first question) will be 1 floor above this one, 2 90° bends away, but there are two 90's and two 45's below this one, so I figure the cleanout under the oven will be a "second chance" cleanout that may never need to be accessed -- but there if I need it. Can I put it in this difficult-to-reach location to avoid the unsightly appearance of a cleanout cover when walking up the stairs?
As always, thanks for your opinions!
