I apologize in advance as this is probably a stupid question.
I have a WYE with the 45 degree angle facing up that has an extension to a 45 degree elbow that connects to my toilet flange. For informational purposes, the shower and sink drain in behind it, as well as the vent pipe. The piping runs parallel to the floor joists and currently sits on the left side.
I would like to move the toilet closer to the right joist. The amount does not really matter, just want to gain 2-6 inches.
Here is what I am wondering, can I cut the extension pipe out of the WYE and attach a 22.5 degree and 45 degree elbow together (on the remainder of the extension pipe), twisted in such a way that the geometry changes location of the 45 degree elbow, but still sits level properly at the subfloor to connect the new flange? I believe I can accomplish this as I have played around with the connections to make a proper angle, but please correct me if I am wrong. If I a correct about that, my question would be, would this meet code, and more importantly would this cause any plumbing/clogging problems?
