    All you need to do is replace the exsisting bolts, wax seal, and put on the new toilet! Now if the water in the new toilet doesn't go down too well, your vent pipe might be clogged.

    Hi Jay,
    Your question leaves a bit of detail to be filled in. The term "rough in" means to me that you're adding and not just replacing a toilet. If by "new toilet" you mean "replacement toilet" then pimberman's entirely correct, however, if you're adding a toilet we will need more details. For instance, will this toilet be on the same level or will it install on a different one? If this is a new instalation why would you need to add a vent on the old installation?
    Jay! Ya got some "splaining" to do. Let's hear back from you. Cheers, Tom
