Yet another "how do I move this" thread.
We have a toilet with a 14" rough-in. We're looking to replace the toilet (on a budget), and instead of getting a cheap 14" toilet it seems that it would be easier to shift the closet flange back. I have full access via a basement to the plumbing.
Picture 1: plumbing overview. To the right the pipe heads upstairs to a bath, toilet, and sink. To the left it heads towards the street.
Picture 2: close-up. Notice that whoever installed the toilet cut out the joist to get it in. We want to move the flange two inches to the right.
The current drain is 4" cast iron. Since I want to move it 2" to the right (relative to the picture) I think that I need to rip out everything up to and including the wye, then patch in ABS plastic with a couple of no-hub fittings. Is this right?
