    Converting a toilet to a sink drain
    Hello. I am converting a powder bath into a wetbar. I want to convert the toilet drain to a sink drain. Can I simply cap the toilet's 4" floor drain and insert a 2" "p"-trap into the vent stack behind it? Or is there more to it?
    Thanks for your help, Gino

    That be it. If you plug the toilet it needs to be a permanent plumbing cap. Not cement.
