I'm finishing off my basement as a dedicated home theater, and I want to avoid building a soffit around my toilet plumbing. My floor joists are 2x8, and I have about a 4-1/2' run to the main stack. I'll be replacing the copper elbow that presently juts well below the joists.

What are the merits of using a spigot closet bend vs. a 45° closet flange with a street 45°?

On a side note, to make the degree ° symbol you can use either use Alt+0176 (on the number pad only) or you can insert the symbol using Microsoft character map.

No advantage either way, at first. BUT, if you ever have a problem and have to redo it, the spigot closet bend will be faster and easier, especially if it is a 3"x4" spigot bend.

Does any manufacturer in particular make a closet bend that provides more clearance than the rest?

I'll be sloping down only about an inch over the four or five feet to the wall, but a 2x8 bay seems pretty shallow to me.

Same question for me! I may be coming up short on vertical clearance and I'm looking for the shallowest fitting possible...

This is awkward, but...
