I'm putting in a basement bath, connecting with a 4" cast iron main that is in excellent condition.
1) Before installation, the city inspector told me we need a directional Wye fitting there. He hasn't been back yet since the installation. My plumber installed a 4 x 4 Fernco Qwik-tee. The quick tee ties the new PVC drain at a right angle and not a Y angle. I suppose the inspector will tell me if this qualifies as a directional fitting. But in the meanwhile, can one of the gurus here tell me the answer please.
2) My plumber put in a 4" PVC drain from the new toilet. Bigger is better right? Good flow and less risk of stoppage, right? Any downsides?
Thanks in advance.
