    on top of the finished floor.

    If I understand your question correctly you have a drop of 13.5 feet from the closet bend to the sewer main.
    You will maintain 1/4" per foot and use a 1/8th bend to 45 down tom the main where it will be picked up by a upright wye that you will installe in the main. More questions? I'm as close as a click. Good luck, Tom
