How To Move Bathroom Toilet Drain Line A Few Feet Home Remodeling Homebuildingandrepairs bathrooms index click on this link to learn more about bathroom remodeling, new home construction and house repai. We are doing the master bathroom renovation and would like to move the toilet a few feet. but it is just not possible to remove the whole existing vertical toilet drain and connect the new one. i am thinking of connecting the new toilet drain to the existing vertical pipe, as shown in the attached picture. it's on the second floor with 2x12 joists.
How To Put Together Bathroom Drain Pipe Components So You Can Move Sink To move the toilet more than just a couple of inches, you will have to demolish the concrete to access and relocate water and waste lines. then you will have to rebuild the concrete foundation and replace the sub flooring, flooring, and fixtures. as you can imagine, this additional step adds considerably to the cost, fuss, and mess involved. Plan the new slope. as in the original drain pipe you have to provide an adequate slope for your new drain wastage. before removing the toilet from its place, first you have to plan out a new slope. the minimum recommend slope is a fall of ¼ inch for every 4 feet of straight pipeline and as we are talking about a toilet drain. Next, disconnect the water supply line behind the toilet. put a bucket under the supply line to catch any water that might spill out when you unscrew it. 5. remove the toilet bolts. once the supply line is disconnected, unscrew the bolts keeping the toilet on the floor. 6. move the tank. I used an air chisel to chip out the concrete around the drain. i needed to move the drain about 2 inches and the hole i chipped out ended up over 1 foot across. the concrete was only a few inches thick. there was dirt below the concrete (typical for a phoenix slab home). the chipping went pretty well, just a lot of noise and dust.
