Installing a second toilet downstairs

[Dave211]

Hello looking for advice to see if this can be done I own a 2 story older house the wife and I are getting up in age and doing the steps several times a day to use the bathroom is getting tougher my question is
I have a first floor was room with is directly under my 2nd floor bathroom I want to install a new toilet right under the upstairs bathroom in the wash room can I plumb right into the soil line coming straight down behind the wall from the toilet upstairs and if so would I have to vent it or do anything special so I would not have any issues when either toilet was flushed please let me know thank you

Just tee off that soil pipe with a branch, that’s all.

Council may need to be told about change of room to bathroom.

Oh hang on , it’s America- better check your state rules.
I was only commenting on the practicalities, not the bureaucracy.
