I keep getting dinged on end-of-the-line cleanouts (I’m a rookie). Is the attached photo going to be acceptable?
The tall cleanout in the foreground is 2″, then an 22 degree bend in front of the 3″ combi that serves the toilet, then a 45 degree before passing through the footing sleeve to the long elbow for the 3″ outside cleanout cover.

Without knowing what code or general practice you are working under it's hard to say, the one on the end of the run should be o.k. if you don't have too many fittings there.
I don't have a clue what you are doing with the 2in, if thats a main run c.o. it should be full size of the main.

The 2" is the vent for the toilet; yesterday I changed it to 3" and included a cleanout, and transitioned to 2" above that. We'll see how inspection goes Monday (I failed twice, don't know what will happen the third time).

Do we assume the "2 inch cleanout" is really e.g. a lavatory, not a cleanout? You don't need a cleanout in front of a toilet. Seems I remember that a toilet is a cleanout by definition so unless you had some other fixtures that required a cleanout, your large cleanout outside wouldn't be required ... but I'm not a plumber. I did a 'dead end' toilet in a basement ... it was inspected and it was OK. I remember asking the inspector 20 questions about my DWV layout. He made me reconfigure a lot of stuff, but a cleanout behind my toilet wasn't one of them ... ditto my toilets on the upper floor. Not sure if codes vary in this, though.
