Hi, The toilet in my house was moved from the side of the house to the front around 40 years ago.
The original cast iron stack has not been used since but I am wanting to move the toilet back and reinstate the original stack.
I have cut a 30 cm section out of the vertical stack at a height of 3m where I plan to fit a branch to connect the toilet.
When I shine a torch down the stack it looks fine but when I poured a 2 gallon bucket of water down, to test it, it took about 40 seconds for it so clear the bottom bend.
I was expecting the water to clear in a few seconds and I'm a bit worried that solids from the toilet, once connected, are going to block it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
