Would IPC/IRC permit a free-standing vanity that is not attached to the wall be removed to access a 3" cleanout behind it? Safe to assume the cleanout will be visible under the vanity.
If not, what ideas do you have?
This is remodel, so I assume the county will give some leeway.
Details:
Have a cleanout before the 3" drain goes below grade. The above grade portion of the drain is in a chase that is the wall of a bathroom (picture attached), where a vanity will be located. Subfloor will add another 2-1/2" to the current slab, so the bottom of the cleanout will be about 3-1/2" AFF.
We are on 2015 IPC/IRC, and I have reviewed IPC 708.1.9-10 and IRC P3005.2.6, which are identical and seem to indicate you need an area of 18" radius around and in front of the cleanout.
Since the tile on the vanity wall will be very featured, the vanity will be free-standing (probably 4' wide) and not physically attached to the wall. It cannot be a vanity that goes all the way to the floor, as we are going for a more modern aesthetic.
