Great, thanks Terry! So I can just use the 45 degree bend into the 45 wye (on its side) to give me the 90 degree change in horizontal direction. Cheers Simon

I'm plumbing in a new 3" waste for a new toilet on the second floor. I have my 3" PVC waste pipe dropping down into the crawl space and I'm tying it into one of the existing 3" horizontal waste pipes down there. There are two changes of direction: vertical to horizontal, for which I'm gonna use...
