Can toilet plumbing have 90 degree angles?

It's a bad plumbing practice to have a hard 90-degree bend in a horizontal drain line that's buried in a slab or otherwise hidden. If you have to make a 90-degree bend, use two 45-degree fittings and put a small piece of straight pipe between the fittings, if possible.

Can you use a 90-degree elbow on a toilet drain?

All change-of-direction fittings buried under a slab should never have any 90-degree fittings. If you need to change direction under concrete or other buried piping conditions say in a sewer line, you use two 45-degree fittings. It's a best practice to separate the 45-degree fittings by at least 6 inches, if possible.

How much angle does a toilet pipe have?

The ideal slope of any drain line is ¼ inch per foot of pipe. In other words, for every foot the pipe travels horizontally, it should be dropping ¼ inch vertically.

as long as it has an adequate fall on it to the soil stack.

Can I turn my toilet 45 degrees?

Can soil pipes have bends?

Bends. Bends at the base of stacks should be of long radius. Two 45° bends may be used as an alternative. The same principle should be used for offsets.

Can a toilet drain pipe go straight down?

Vertical Drop

When the toilet drain reaches a vertical wall, it drops straight down between wall studs. Although this is a vertical drop, don't use standard 90-degree plumbing elbows, called "hard 90s," to connect the pipes. The sharp corners on these elbow fittings can increase the risk of clogs.

What is the maximum slope for toilet drain?

The plumbing code requires drain pipe to be sloped at a minimum of 1/2 inch per foot and a maximum of three inches per foot or vertical. A slope of less than a quarter-inch per foot will cause a lot of drain clogs and a slope of more than three inches will allow the water to drain.

Can a sewer line be too steep?

A slope that is too steep will cause the liquids to run faster than the solids, leading to clogs. A slope that is too shallow does not create enough velocity for proper drainage.

What kind of elbow do you use for a toilet?

Its name relates to “water closet,” a term used by plumbers to mean the commode. A closet bend is a 90-degree toilet elbow fitting, but it doesn't form a sharp angle. Instead, the closet bend has a gradual, sweeping corner that allows waste to flow through the bend without clogging.

Can you use a vent elbow for a toilet?

If the toilet drain does not connect directly to a vent, you must find another way to vent it.

The horizontal vent pipe runs right next to the closet bend.

Can toilet vent have bends?

What angle does a soil pipe need to be?

What is the recommended fall for a soil pipe? The minimum fall for a waste pipe is 1 in 40. The maximum fall is 1 in 110 (apart from vertical pipes but that's a different story). So pipes with a gradient between 1 in 40 and 1 in 110 should have adequate flow to prevent blockages from occurring.

Can you have bends in a SVP?

The most likely point of blockage in a SVP is where a bend occurs, such as the base of a stack. Approved Document H, paragraph 1.34, recommends that rodding points should be provided in discharge stacks to give access to any lengths of pipes which cannot be reached from any other part of the system.
