    Closet bend 14 ft. from main stack!

    I have a client remodeling a 2nd floor 1/2 bath. The toilet is an unbelievable 14 feet from the main stack w/ a 60 deg. bend. (In 4" cast iron of course) The truly joyous part is that 12 ft. of it is in unfinished attic crawlspace. What's the UPC say about THIS humdinger? Thanks for any help.

    Improving quality of my posts

    Can anyone help me learn how to scan in a paper drawing, and attach it to my posts here, using windows xp? I don't want to waste people's time with explanations that are clear only to me. Perhaps a private message reply is appropriate, unless others want to know, too. Thanks!
