Hello,
To my current understanding, a "closet bend" is a sharper than typical bend allowed for use directly under a WC to permit horizontal WC drains to be run within a fairly shallow floor framing system. So a few questions:
1) If you have extra height available for a medium or long turn quarter bend, is there any reason not to use one?
2) Is there a code section (UPC and/or IPC) that explicitly allows the sharper than typical bend directly under a WC?
3) Looking at Charlotte's plastic and cast iron catalog, the interior angle on closet bends is quite sharp, basically square (see below for pictures). So does that mean in plastic, a regular vent 90 may be used as a closet bend?
Thanks,
Wayne
