Hi.
I was wondering, how do you add a Sewer-Clean out to a sewer model in sewerCAD? Is it under a different name in SewerCAD?
Thanks!
Hello Uriel,
Do you want to check if the pipes are self-cleansing or not? If yes please look at the video using link below.

If this is not what you are looking for, then please elaborate your query.

In my experience, cleanouts have no effect on sewer hydraulics and don't need to be included in a model.
If you have them in your GIS, you can map them to a manhole or a transition with zero head loss.
However, yo may be dealing with a type of cleanout with which I'm not familiar. if so, please explain how it interacts with flow in the pipe.
In the US, cleanout are generally discouraged by regulations in favor of actual manholes.
Here is related wiki article about modeling clean outs in SewerCAD, for your reference.
