Did a remodel and the toilet is now three feet behind a wye connector to a five foot section of three inch waste line and then the three inch down waste line. Prior the toilet was about a foot or less in front of the wye connector. It is a Toto toilet and has a strong flush.
Whenever flushing anything more than liquid waste there was a thud-thud sound (like the drum beat in law and order). Sound was two or maybe three seconds after flushing. Not water hammer. Isolated it to the three inch vertical waste line hitting the stud it was next to. Theory is the greater distance is giving the waste more velocity when it hits the down line.
Braced the line like in this photo. Does this look ok? It is cinched on fairly tight. Any concerns with humidity expanding the stud or thermal expansion of the pvc? If I loosen things I’ll get vibration sounds, but I don’t want a broken pipe.
Top left of waste line is the five foot horizontal section then the wye connector and toilet is three feet back from there. The wye connector shown with diagonal line on the right is to a separate bathroom (also a Toto, but never caused a vibration thud sound when flushing).
Thanks
