Toilet Cleanout setup.

[Pechan]

Hi I would like some input on this Clean-out for my Toilet.
I am concerned with the long horizontal with nothing to wash it out.
All PVC is 4 inch save for the vent which is 3 inch. all sloped 1/4 per foot.
Forgive me for my MS Paint skills.
Thanks for your reply's.

May codes don't allow dead ends which is what you have. Your 8' to the clean out is way past the 18" maximum.

^^Yep.

Just put a cleanout cap&body in the back of your 4" wye, assuming it's in a basement or accesible in a crawlspace.

You don't need a clean out for the toilet, you can just pull the toilet and clean out from there.

In THIS installation, that is possible, but I try NEVER to pull a toilet unless absolutely necessary. A cleanout in the 3" riser will work although a 4" opening would be better.

Thanks for the replys, that is what I was thinking.
This is going under a slab on grade that is the reason for the long dead end.
I will go with the option of using the toilet for the cleanout.
Thanks.

That will work as long as you are in Wyoming and I do not have to be concerned that you will call me some day to unplug the sewer line.
