Moving toilet 90 degrees

[bryan rozinski]

Hi, I am remodeling my bathroom and want to move the toilet 90 degrees and 12" from its current location. Is it ok to run two long sweep 90's back to back from the flange to the waste line?

They allow 135 degrees of horizontal change on a trap arm.

would this layout work then?

Try a side view. Stack on the left. New closet flange (toilet) on the right. Floor will be horizontal line.

Maybe use 2 or 3 colors: what stays (black?), what you plan to add (red?), and maybe what is to be removed (blue?). The part to be removed is not important.

Identify the pipe as 3 inch PVC or whatever it is.

stack is 3" PVC connected to existing 3" copper with a fernco no-hub connecting them. I built a 12" false floor so that the grade would be the same as the kitchen. The toilet connection to the soil stack is encased in concrete. I had hoped to connect the new flange as shown in the picture, but I was concerned that code would not allow me to connect two long bend 90's together, going from the new flange to the old flange drain and is having the vent in front of the toilet 30" away from the stack

Your new pictures clarify things. Somebody will be able to offer useful info. Don't guess you would look forward to a cleanout flush with the floor.

Whatever you do, I would go with a flange with a stainless steel ring. I was wondering if something with a 45 degree outlet, such as Sioux Chief Model 889-45PMPK2, would help reduce bends, but that would require digging concrete.
