    Hi Moledinac:

    2" pipe will not work for you... simply will not work!

    You need a 3" pipe at a MINIMUM to install a toilet. You also need a 2" VENT PIPE so toilet waste can drain efectively to the main sewer drain line.

    In terms of an ejector pump, if you cannot connect onto a 3" pipe under the floor or in the concrete slab (if present) and you cannot run a 3" pipe over to the toilet then you will need to install an ejector pump or a macerator pump.

    Do you have pipes underground you can hook onto?

    Check out www.saniflo.com for info. On macerator systems.

    Check out www.zoeller.com for ejector pump information.

    Let me know if you have more questions...
