Hi all,
To start I'd like to thank everybody for such a great forum, for even though I'm not a plumber and am relatively unknowledgeable about the trade I have gained a lot of insight and knowledge here. Very helpful as I am trying to generally plan and get what answers I can for a job I'd like to have done. Pardon my ignorance please!
I plan to have a bathroom installed on the 2nd floor of an addition I've built. The addition is a post and beam structure so all the beams are exposed and the flooring is 3" decking over the beams. The main stack is 12' from the location where, if possible, I'd like to put the toilet. Since the 3" pipe can't penetrate the floor and then turn to run horizontally, I wonder what my options are. Btw, my plan is also to install a wall hung toilet with an in-wall carrier to maximize usable floor space. In my dream scenario the pipe would turn sideways behind the toilet and then maintain a straight horizontal run for 12' (vented within a few feet and also supported every 4' and maintaining a 1/4" per foot slope) until it reaches the vertical main stack. Is this possible not only with the code regs but also with worry free functionality? Thanks in advance
