Are cleanouts mandatory for lav and shower runs before they dump into the main stack? I have about 30 ft of 2" pipe before the double lav and shower dump into my main stack in the basement. I ran them separately from my secondary toilet stack in my new 2nd floor bathroom, so I could avoid having to drill 2-9/16" holes through my 2x8s supporting the 2nd floor living area.
My lav pipe run goes straight down for 10', then I have a long 90' and it goes for about 5' before it dumps into my secondary stack. My shower pipe run goes straight down for 10', then I have a long 90 and it goes for about 6 ft, but then takes another 90 turn before dumping into my secondary stack.
I am banking that I do not need any additional cleanouts other than the traps already in place for each fixture. When I read the Wisconsin code book, I believe it says that cleanouts need to be 75' max distance from eachother, and I do not have that much pipe, so I think I am okay.
Let me know your thoughts. I am looking for code based feedback, not opinions. I realize there are 1.2 million ways to do these projects, but I am looking for objective answers here. Thanks!
