IRC code:
Can I use a sanitary tee as a vertical oriented cleanout on a horizontal drain. This is located just before the 3" drain exits the house serving the code requirements. Code says that it can not be used for a change in direction to horizontal, but does not reference its use as a cleanout only. Code also says that this cleanout should be vertical.
I do not have enough vertical distance between the pipe and the basement concrete floor to use a combo T. A wye would work, but only enough room for a cleanout plug (therefore not vertical) and much more of a pain to re-concrete around.
Can't figure the reasoning for not allowing this.
