Three DWV Questions (Two about Toilet Plumbing)

[Jimjr]

Hello,

I have three questions and a picture for each of them.

(1) Is it safe and effective to "seal" off septic tank gases by using a Fernco rubber cap? Or, should you glue on a cap?

(2) Is the way I did the plumbing coming directly out of the toilet flange OK or will it cause you to often use a plunger?

(3) Is the "drop" in the toilet waste pipe too abrupt? The "drop" is two consecutive 45s. Will this "drop" cause drainage issues?

Thank you.

Great timing. I am in the mist of a major lawsuit where a plumber used a Jim cap on a 6" waste line and the cpa blew off the pipe causing a major floor in a restaurant where some worker got hurt

Ideally you may want to use a PVC x Female adapter and use a plastic plug so if you ever need access you can unscrew the plug, If you're sure you don't need access from this point the glue a cap

The use of 2 - 45 looks good less chance of a stoppage
