    Options for toilet flange to 4" x 3" closet bend

    I'm replacing the toilet flange and bend in a floor framed with 2x8s. The existing horizontal pipe that connects to the stack is 3" diameter. In the area where I live, the only option for a suitable closet bend that will fit in the joist cavity is a 3" x 4" hub X hub closet bend, which seems...

    4x3 closet bend vs 3" long sweep?

    So the two typical ways to plumb under a toilet to a 3" drain pipe is: A: 4" vertical pipe to 4x3 closet bend (restriction in theory from 4" to 3", but gives more space in flange opening) B: 3" vertical pipe to 3" long sweep elbow (less space in flange opening, but no restriction afterwards)...

    Closet flange questions

    I'm working on an upstairs toilet in an old house that originally had a lead closet bend. A plumber replaced the lead bend with a 4" cast iron pipe, cutting the vertical part shorter because there was tight clearance below the floor to a notch in a joist. They installed an outside clamping cast...
