The inspector will also look for proper install by code and from reading you're other post... if you decide to use the cleanout as means of tying into the system expect to be failed.

Y
not
T
I can understand why a T design would not be code, because water flows downhill and Ts are only only for vents, but I'm confused why a Y design would violate code.
Tee are not just for vents, and if your cleanout is a "Y" then it might be a place to make the connection, but only if you kept a cleanout at that location. Your description of the installation might make sense to you, but when we read it we do not get any insight into what it really looks like. And that makes the difference between whether it is proper or improper. An inspector will look at whatever he thinks is important, sometimes to the point of nitpicking if he is looking for a reason to reject the installation.
