Installing a toilet is not an easy, do-it-yourself task. It takes skill and precision to complete all the steps necessary. This is possibly the single, most troublesome fixture to install as it requires its own 2" minimum vent and a drain of at least 3" in diameter. If the toilet is situated on a branch drain, it cannot be upstream from the sink or shower. The minimum side distance allowed from the center of the toilet bowl to a wall is 15 inches, and 12 inches from the center of the bowl to a bathtub; clearance from the front of a bowl to a wall or fixture should be 21 inches. You can find further do-it-yourself instructions from a local hardware store that sells Plumbing equipment.
