Doing the connection further downstream would help, but you still need a separate vent on each branch, installed within 6' of each toilet. If waste from one WC is running past an unvented connection for the other, it will siphon. : The waste line, which is a 12 ft. run, does not allow enough slope to install a connection in the vertical position, so the Y is horizontal. I have also tried venting before the Y and this did'nt help. There were orignally different toilets with ordinary flush valves installed here and I was told they did not siphon like these ones with the flushmasters which seem to have a much stronger flush. What do you think about running a seperate waste line on one WC that would tie in farther down on the existing waste line. : : : I have two toilets (with Sloan Flushmasters in them) that are next to each other and connect into a double elbow. When one is flushed it siphons the water out of the bowl in the other. I tried putting in a vent pipe right after the turn, it didn't help. Anyone have an idea?
