    New toilet over existing slab
    Am planning to install a toilet over an existing slab in an existing workout room, but am builing a floor 8 inches above the slab. Is this enough drop for the plumbing or will I have to jackhammer the slab to run pipe under the slab?

    How far will it travel and where is it connecting?
    Have you considered an upflush system?all the plumbing is above the floor on that system.
