The 2012 UPC states:
"UPC - 707.4 Each horizontal drainage pipe shall be provided with a cleanout at its upper terminal, and each run of piping, that is more than one-hundred (100) feet (30,480 mm) in total developed length, shall be provided with a cleanout for each one-hundred (100) feet (30,480 mm), or fraction thereof, in length of such piping. An additional cleanout shall be provided in a drainage line for each aggregate horizontal change of direction exceeding 135 degrees (2.36 rad)."

If I rise up in the wall, that's a 90, and then if I turn again to allow access to the cleanout in the wall, that's another 90, which is 180, and I need another cleanout. Am I not understanding something?
 
Within 5 ft in the horizontal or in the vertical at the most convenient cos after 135 on trap arms
