Hi all,
Great forum, I've been lurking for years and as a DIYer I've taken on a few tasks. I've had plumbing inspectors come by and tell my work looks great, I guess it's a testament to reading this forum.
Long story short, I'm doing plumbing in my basement, builder put in the ejector pit and a single pipe coming out. I tapped into that 3" pipe and added a shower drain, sink drain, and a toilet drain.
Pictured below, I ran 3" from the toilet to the long sweep pictured above.
Everything is pitched 1/4" per ft. (Approx 4' total run)
Problem is, it looks like my 3" elbow is sitting too high! The width of my blue level is about the finish height when the tiles will be installed. If I seat the toilet flange directly to the elbow, I think I'll be too high by about 3/8"
Below are pictures of the flange I bought. The first picture, the "sleeve" is 1 15/16" long, the second picture, where the slope ends, the "sleeve" is 1 5/8"....the big question is, can I cut the "sleeve" on the toilet flange approximately 3/8" so that it can seat flush with the finished floor? (I don't want the toilet on a riser either)
Personally, I think the builder didn't put the ejector pit in deep enough, but I can't fix that so I won't complain....too much
