I have attached a picture to better ask my question.

Can I use this assembly for new toilet location
1)Flange
2) 90 Closet bend (from verticle to horizontal)
3) 90 from Closet bend back into original horizontal drain line

All 4" PVC

I am a bit worried about two 90 that close to each other, but they are close to the source (toilet - max head power) and the first 90 is from verticle to horizontal.

If the above will not work I am open to your suggestion.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll take a guess that you will be putting the toilet along the vent wall. If you look at house install, they make all kinds of turns. If you are going to chop the floor, leave enough room for a sweep ell and that will help the flow. Is all this work worth the swap?

Yeah, make it a long sweep 90 as suggested by Ma0641 and you should have no problems with what you propose... ;)

Thanks
Yes toilet get a swing around to the vent wall.

I not sure if it is worth the work. But wifey is. Happy wife happy life.
However next time she says I don't like the wall paper, I am just going to move!

I will be happy when my adult sized shower is ready had a 30" X 30" new on will be 66" 48"

The drain size may be 3" -will that set up be ok if it is 3"? (with long sweep)

Thanks for all the help!
