Hi folks, I’m doing a bathroom remodel and looking to shift the toilet drain about an inch and a half or two to the left. Is there any concerns if I angle the 90 fitting and then use a street 22? Mostly wondering about the drop since it’s no longer straight down

It is much easier to lay out a drain as straight down.
I would redo everything to accommodate the desired location.
An offset as you describe will still work.

As Breplum says, using the 22.5 fittings would be hard with glued joints. Gotta get it right the first time.

If you have enough vertical distance, you could maybe use an offset closet flange. That gets you 1.5 inches in whatever direction you want. The Oatey and Sioux Chief units are good, and not likely to clog.

If you had a 4x3 closet bend, you could even use a 4-inch PushTite offset closet flange. But I suspect the available vertical would again prevent that from working for you.

Because you are not gluing these, you could use either the black or white one.
