depends on the size of drain piping. Most toilet either have a 3" or 4" drain. The size hole needed would be larger than the outside diameter of the piping. 3" pipe=4" hole / 4" pipe=5" hole
All you will need to cut out is the hole for the drain, probably 5 inch circle. The ceiling below and how you route the drain is always different.
Probably not. There is no vent for that drain, it did not need one for a floor drain. A toilet is trying to push against the air pressure in the drain.Normally a decent plumber will install a floor drain with in 15 feet of a vented line or will vent the FD in case irt exceeds the 15 ft ruleA Floor drain can be as small as 2" diameter and thus it is undersized for a toilet and a floor drain alread has a trap and a toilet would thus be drouble trapped
No.
The toilet flange is usually above the floor level. You would have to cut it off the drain pipe and cap it. How you do this depends on what type of pipe the drain is made of. Even if the drain should be below the floor level, you have to seal the drain or sewer gas will come up from the drain.
The wax ring which seals the toilet to the drain is leaking. turn off water, drain tank by flushing. Disconnect water line. remove tank, unbolt toilet from floor. Remove any old wax from toilet and drain. Replace with new wax ring. Reset toilet and press firmly into place.
If you just plan on putting the toilet on top of the floor drain the answer is no. The floor drain if it leads to a septic system or city sewer would have a trap in the line which will not work with a toilet. Depending on the size of the pipe 3" minimum you could cut the floor and tie a toilet into the line. It would also have to be properly vented. I would consult a plumber on the job. Its also possible that the floor drain just goes to a dry well which could not be used. Even if it could not be used there are other ways to install a toilet below the septic or sewer line.
The drain from the toilet to the main drain is plugged and the branch to the shower is not. If the main floor toilet flushes, it is between the two toilets and not between the house and the sewer.
It is called a back outlet toilet floor mounted
That would make for an awfully low toilet.
12-13 inches to the center of the drain.... make sure your drain pipe is 1/4 inch drop per foot. also use the sweeping y drain if possible. leave lots of room for the flange. mount the toilet after the floor is in.
Yes... is the short answer. The toilet has a trap in itself. You would have to be able to break out the floor and put a P trap in the existing line
pull the toilet. Make sure the trap is clear on the toilet, and then snake the toilet line.
