I'll preface this line of questioning by saying it's likely very stupid since I can't find anyone posting it previously. That's a great confidence builder!
I'm moving my 2nd floor master bathroom toilet to the old shower spot, but to keep the proper drain size, I'm going to plumb back to the original toilet stack and vent that is 6 feet away. I will need to make a horizontal 90 degree turn which I understand needs to happen with a long sweep. I also understand I need 1/4 inch of slope per 1 foot on my toilet drain until it gets to a vent.
The other option is to plumb the drain as above, but if there's concern about the 6 foot run and elbow, I could add a vent closer to the toilet instead of using the existing vent. I could accomplish that by increasing the size of the old shower vent or building a brand new vent and tying into the existing vent in the attic. Assuming we're this far, where would that vent connect into the toilet drain? I can't find a visual anywhere to understand my options, so pictures/diagrams appreciated. May also be helpful to know that the veritical 90 from closet flange will be headed toward the front of the toilet to get back to the old stack.
Any guidance appreciated!
