How far apart should cleanouts for drainage pipes be installed in horizontal drainage lines?

No more than 50 feet
Not more than 75 feet
Not more than 100 feet
No more than 150 feet

The correct answer is: Not more than 100 feet

Cleanouts for horizontal drainage lines should be installed no more than 100 feet apart to ensure proper maintenance and accessibility for clearing blockages. This distance allows for effective access to the drainage system, making it easier for inspectors or maintenance personnel to mitigate any clogs that might occur in the pipes. Regular access points are essential for maintaining the health of the drainage system, as they provide entry points for cleaning equipment and inspection tools. The code establishes this maximum distance to prevent areas of the drainage system from becoming difficult to access, which could lead to more significant plumbing issues down the line. By adhering to the 100-foot requirement, homeowners and inspectors can more readily address potential issues, ensuring the effective performance of the plumbing system.
