    Connecting a drain line to a cleanout
    Hello:

    I'm installing a small bar with a sink in a basement rec room. The bar will be against a wall, open on the left, and up against a utility closet on the right. The ceiling is finished. There's a small access panel on the left, directly above where I need to install the cabinets. The access panel is for access to a drain cleanout. The cleanout is for the one of the main drain lines. It's a 'T' with a male plug on one side. I want to run a line over to the utility closet, attaching it to the cleanout using a male threaded fitting. In the utility closet, I'll attach another 'T' with one end capped for a cleanout and the other end attached to the drain from a sanivite ejection pump. I'll attach an air admittance valve to the pump for the vent.

    I'm pretty sure all of this will work just fine. I would prefer to cut out the cleanout and replace it with a 'T' but there's no room to work in the finished cleaning. I'm pretty sure the threaded connection to the cleanout isn't code, but I figured if I glue it in, it's unlikely to leak. To top it off, I'd like to close off the access panel. So, I basically have a joint that I won't be able to access if it did leak.

    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.
