    I'm installing a Toto wall hung toilet as part of our bathroom renovation and wanted to get some feedback on putting a 3" ABS pipe through an adjacent 2x10 floor joist that sits on a wall partition below.

    2.5" ABS, DO FITTINGS STILL EXIST?

    Howdy, I've come upon a missing link. I'm remodeling a bathroom, and the toilet vent is 2.5" ABS. Did companies stop making these fittings? Just too odd of a size? I'm only replacing the pipe through floor and hooking back up to old "Y", don't want to have to run new 2" all the way through roof.
