No real problem with the joints (no big gouges or burs), just an approximate 1/4 gap between pipes under the fernco fittings and the cuts not perfectly square but not bad either. I was just thinking theoretically/generally how this unsmooth new part of the drain system would not catch debris...

Ok. Thank you very much for the all of the replies. I really appreciate all of your knowledge and experience. It has been very helpful.

Ok. Thank you. From a learning perspective: While I recognize that splicing a drain with Fernco type fittings is an acceptable way to go, if the cuts are not perfect how does the interruption in a smooth pipe interior not grab toilet paper, etc. and cause a clog?

Ok. I will get one drawn up.

Ok, thank you. I am learning a great deal. I forgot about it, and failed to mention a 2" vent through the roof at the washing machine. The washing machine is about 8' upstream from the where I am working. Would this make a difference? (downstream- 2" vent - current WC drain work - 2...

Thank you very much for the replies. They are greatly appreciated. I will switch the above ground fernco to the appropriate one. Upstream of this (to the right of the existing drain) is a toilet and two showers, then a 3" vertical vent through the roof, then a washing machine. Would this be ok?

Ok. Thank you. Does the setup seem ok? Are the fittings appropriate? Too Many turns? Would I expect problems with the amount of bends and type of fittings present?

Hello, I am attempting to install a toilet and join to an existing drain under a concrete slab. Where the existing drain is located, I have limited space to work in a corner of the existing bathroom (In the picture, the lefthand wall is a vanity that will be removed, I will have plenty of space...

The wall on the left is a vanity. It will be moved to achieve the 15" required on either side. The vent in the background is about 17" from the right side wall.

Hello. I am attempting to move a toilet within a bathroom. I have limited room to work and am trying to find the best way to join to the 3" drain seen in the pictures. The flow of the existing drain is from right to left in the picture. The vent seen in the top of the picture is about 17...
