My home (built 1985) has an original toilet on the second floor, so I decided to purchase a shiny new HET to replace it. So after I get everything together I unbolt the old toilet, wondering why it has four bolts holding it down--two on the floor, and to against the wall. (I figure most of you are cringing already.) I lift the bowl off and set it on the side, and look down to discover a solid floor underneath...no closet flange! After scratching my head for about ten seconds, I realize it is on the wall!
I decided I still want to put the new HET in, so I need to put a new flange into the floor. There is a joist between the old flange and the new location (and my 2x8 joists run the full length of the structure), so I need to run a 3" pipe 5 feet until I have access to vertical space. But I need to make a relatively sharp turn straight down, and vent straight up...is a Sani-Tee allowed for this?
I have some other changes I would like to make involving my DWV (lowering the kitchen sink drain, and redoing some weirdness in the basement).
I made a drawing of my proposed work. 3" and 2" are the only sizes used. My county defers plumbing to the WSSC (sanitary commission), and they use IPC (with amendments). They allow the owner to work on 10% of the plumbing without a permit, so I'm doing each fixture/floor as a separate project (with a month break between each).
I would appreciate any feedback/criticism/suggestions, as this is my first project of this size.
