    Moving a toilet 3 feet to right on same wall
    I am getting ready to remodel a bathroom. My toilet is on the east wall, I need to move it to the west wall (exterior wall) and about 3 feet to the right. I will be removing the floor and walls in that bathroom and reinsulating and drywalling and flooring. What is the best and easiest way to run a new pipe to this bathroom assuming the 1st floor room below this bathroom will not have the interior of the walls exposed?

    Thanks for any help possible!

    Hi Matt,
    You make it difficult to answer when I don't even know what material I'm working and even more so when you say in your heading that the toilet will be on the same wall but in your question it will be moved across the room However, If I were doing it,(and it will ,indeed, be moved across the room) I would cut the closet bend back to where I could get a Shielded Coupling, (see image),on it to convert to PVC. Now snap a chalk line straight across the room and another on a 45 degree angle from the center of where the toilet will be moved. Lay a eighth bend on the spot where the lines meet, mark off the "make ups" on the eighth bend and you have your measures to the new location. Good luck, Tom
