I am new to this forum and this is my first post.
I am installing a new bath in my basement. Unfortunately I will have to cut into the existing 4" stack, just above the floor, to install the proper "T". The toilet will be about 15 feet from this new "T". This means that my pipe centerline will be approximately 11 inches higher at the new toilet. I can think of four options. (1) Use a Rear discharge Toilet, which will have to be raised about 8 inches. (2) Use a wall mount, which I don't know the centerline height of the discharge. (3) Use a standard toilet on an elevated floor. (4) Use an up flush design toilet. I know that there is quite a bit of differences in the cost of each application, but I have never had to deal with this type addition. If possible, could someone please educate me as to the pros and cons of each application? Also, could someone tell me the outlet height of the wall mount toilet discharge? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. ---THANKS--
