First off, the slab is set on crushed rock on top of coarser
rocks, so I hope it isn't going to move. The septic line is going
to service the rest of the house too. I have a couple of questions:
1. I was wondering how much distance there is between the top
outside diameter of the 4" sch. 30 PVC and the top of slab for a
flush mounted flush.
2. If the cellar toilet is about 4' in from the outside wall, will
a wye placed near the wall allow flushing from the next floor
without a backup in the basement toilet, providing a good vent is
set up.
3. Are there any flexible systems for the hookup or should I
possible box out the septic drain pipe so it isn't integral to the
slab.
4. What good DIY books or online guides would one recommend?
I figure the 1/4" slope in 12" rule would be good enough, but I've
never plumbed a toilet before.
I have looked at the macerating systems, but hate to depend on
electricity to run that system.
TIA
