My old 1-1/4 galvanized has 3/4 SIDR pipe run thru the old galvanized. I think it was a straight shot -- no elbow. That is probably good for over 10 gpm.

Sounds good. Now suppose you have an ABS pipe. You will attach a PVC coupling, and cement PVC pipe into the other end of the coupling. I have not found clear/consistent answers to these: 1. Use green transition cement for both joints, or just the ABS-to-PVC transition? 2. If you use green...

While green transition cement can join ABS and PVC successfully and reliably, and UPC is happy with it, oddly IPC is not. https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/IPC2021P1/chapter-7-sanitary-drainage#IPC2021P1_Ch07_Sec705.16.4 There have been proposals to change IPC on this.

I would glue and screw.

Search Google and Youtube for removing brass plug from cast iron. I have not done it myself, but I have watched some Youtube videos. I am expecting to do it at some point.

We hope the plug is brass (not attracted to a magnet). Those get cut/chiseled out.

I would just fill the crack with epoxy, and then add a repair ring on top to take the stress of the closet bolts. The flange should have had screws to hold it down. You should add screws to hold the repair ring down. Which repair ring? I would choose that after knowing the relative heights of...

I think you are planning on horizontal dry vent for the shower. https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/shower-venting-sanitary-tee-laid-on-its-back.66233/ discusses whether that is allowed in Canada (not sure if that was conclusive). Adding a lavatory could let you use a horizontal wet...

Test the toilet with no wax. If it rocks, put shims into place. Lift the toilet, leaving the shims in place. Place the wax. Drop the toilet onto the wax with shims. Thin wax is no problem, if there is no rocking. Use a wax-only ring -- no plastic horn. Toilets usually clear about 5/8 inch.

I can't see what you are pointing to, but I suspect not.

You will need a sanitary tee. The reason for the 45s for the jog is to give enough space for the P-trap and trap arm. The trap will be folded back on itself. The AAV will be above the top port of the sanitary tee, and will be at least 4 inches above the trap arm. So I am not sure what you call...

I have some thoughts not based on experience. What powered anodes did you put in? I have a thought that powered anodes with stubby probes protect the top part of the tank but not much the bottom. I had made a writeup on powered anodes...

I don't know "rack" in this context. I guess you are meaning that the disk might jam. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rack I think if lifting with a jack under 1 end of a 4x4 etc, the other end could be held up by a stack of blocks or wood to make the pull pretty much straight up.

https://terrylove.com/forums/index.php?threads/replace-chrome-s-trap-with-small-clearance.82578/ has a start... but that double-offset piece comes 12 inch long. However you can cut a piece out of that, and re-connect that with a slip joint coupling...

Not the answers I was hoping for. Do you have access from below -- basement or crawl space?

2 inch OD is not a thing AFAIK. Nominal 2 inch would be 2.375 inch OD. If there is 1.90 OD pipe to glue onto, that could make things easier. But if it is 1.5 inch, there is probably a way to make that work too. How much vertical distance do you have from the bottom of that space up to the...

Probably, but 1. what pipe is going into the floor? 1.5 inch OD or 1.90 inch OD? 2. How much vertical distance do you have from the bottom of that space up to the bottom of the tailpiece (the piece at the bottom of the basket)?

Are you saying that you are concerned that the casing will rise out of the ground?
