really need advice

[poorkid]

i live in a very old style manhattan loft and just started a process of installing a toilet into one of my rooms.
initially, the local contractor came and opened the wall which revealed a main pipe which he stated is suitable for connection...it is 2".

i know nothing about plumbing but know that a toilet line needs to be atleast 3".
the plumber insists that this will work and that he has installed toilets in a few other situations.

construction has started and yesterday and is in motion...although, everytime i look at this drain, it seems to give me pause...am i missing something?

if there is a problem in the future, should i install a macerating toilet instead -- will this help?

pls advise.

I am not even an American plumber and I can tell you that 2" is against code as well as common sense for a toilet. Don't let him do it.

And if it's too late to stop him, a macerating pump might be your only hope.

I would fire this guy. Why have an unqualified "plumber" do this work when he has no concept of codes or a working dwv system?

yeah, fire him, yeah, fire him,

2" for a toilet

that does not work in america.
