Sounds good, thank you. The instructions do not call for an arrestor. I was just wondering what the best practice would be, considering there was a capped tube near the old supply valve. I'll just leave it and run the line up to the new tank. I am not installing a union, just a female adapter...

Ready to put in a new water supply line. Do I need a water hammer arrestor here? The existing supply had one, but it is now probably too far from the new inlet valve. Would you recommend that I install a T at the top of on the new vertical line and put a new arrestor there? Thank you for your help!

Ended up going with Kohler. I'll be making a custom 4 x 3 90 that threads into the 4" waste riser and use a 3" rubber no hub coupling to connect to the elbow that comes with the carrier. I have ordered K-18829-NA carrier, and the tank inlet valve uses G1/2 threads. It comes with a 1/2" NPT...

Just got the nipple. The ID is a hair under 4" (I am getting 3.999" / 101.57 mm measuring the inside from seam to seam).

Thank you. This sounds promising. Are there kits with more that 1" offset? The current drain center is at 4 3/4" AFF. I'll be happy with 9" or more. Ideal height would be around 11" AFF. The TOTO I am looking at has the drain center at 8 5/8" for 16"-high installation, which is the height of...

Thank you. Looks like these would allow me to mount a wall-mounted two piece toilet, but it is not clear that I would gain any space, as compared to my current floor mount. With the TOTO I looked at, the in-wall tank would make the toilet more compact overall, even if I move the wall out 4...

Already ordered :) I'd rather leave the existing toilet hooked up until we figure out whether doing a wall-mounted one is a viable option.

Thank you, this sounds promising. I will order a new nipple and will measure it, as I could not find the specs online. Here's a datasheet that has the part, but no ID sizing: https://www.etnasupply.com/ASSETS/DOCUMENTS/ITEMS/EN/Jay_R_Smith_76289-91-6_Data_Sheet.pdf I can move the wall out 4...

Thank you. The side drain on the left is from the bathroom sink. Pipes going above are drain for the toilet upstairs and a vent. The drain stack continues below. Is there a way to connect the 4" nipple to a 3x4 closet bend? Or would I need a different fitting to connect a closet bend to the...

Thank you. The current drain is centered at 4 3/4 above the floor, and I would need the new one at about 9".

Can you please explain why? I understand that there is no space inside the existing wall, but I can build it out and frame a new section so that the carrier is sitting in front of the existing plumbing.

Two more pictures to show the existing plumbing.

I have a follow up question from reading some related threads. Would moving the outlet hole up (e.g., by using a 90 to connect the elbow supplied with the carrier system to the existing waste pipe opening) be a no-no due the the existing vent connection being below the new flood-level rim? Or is...

I have a back outlet, floor mount toilet, and I would like to install a wall-hung toilet instead. The waste riser is cast iron with 4" threaded opening, and my current toilet is connected to it with this ABS nipple...

Thank you, everyone. Great advice! All fixed. Ended up cutting the existing pipe to drain and replacing it with a new one. Was surprised how little water came out, only about about a gallon. Put paper towels underneath the seams and let the water run for a few minutes-- pipe is cold but all dry.
