    If you can make the bends with 45's or sweeps I would use them instead of 90's. Can you give us a diagram? Regards, tom

    Speedball is right on. However, yes it will "work", if you have limited space. I wouldn't worry about it being a problem for plugging. Since you have 8-10 feet before tie in, you should be able to make the 45s work just fine.

    Both good posts, the less you use 90s the betteroff you'll be.

    Use 45s as posted or can prime/cement a regular 45 into a street 45 and make your own long sweep 90s

    Is there another bathroom above this bathroom you will be installing the toilet in? How is this toilet getting vented? See if can post a diagram as Speedball1 requested.

    Let us know...

    Please explain with a little more detail? Is there a existing bathroom that you simply wish to move a toilet?> Are you adding a toilet someplace? What "existing vent" are you referring to? The more information we have the better we can frame up our answers. Regards, Tom
