I live in an older house with a floor drain in the basement. I want to put a bathroom in the basement. Can I use the floor drain plumbing to install a toilet? furbishk

No,  The 2" drain line from the floor drain isn't big enough to accommodate a toilets discharge.  You will need at least a 3" branch to tie to.  However, if you click on;   http://www.saniflo.co.uk/ or the banner ad on top of this post you will see that there is a option open to discharge a toilet into a 2" line.  Good luck,  Tom
