I'm down in Mex. putting in a bathroom and septic tank. I'm trying to figure out the best fittings to use as we are very limited down here as to what is available. I could always DHL parts from the U.S. but was hoping I could design a system that would work based on what they have here. I'm using ABS but they have no long sweep 90's and no long sweep (combi) fittings only vent els and san tees.
My questions are:
1/can I just use two 45's instead of a long sweep 90 for the toilet drop from vert. to horiz.
2/ is it O.K. to use 3 inch pipe all the way into the septic tank (vs. increasing to 4 inch)?
We are only down here for two or three months out of the year and the new baño will only have a toilet and lav. sink (no shower) running into the septic tank so very little usage. I sort of think I'm over-thinking this but I don't want to create something that backs up since the bathroom floor is slab on grade and this is a one-time installation.
