Relocation of Toilet Flange

Here is my dilemma, I am moving a toilet flange about 3 feet and I need insert a tee into a straight pipe that is only 9" long and the pipes on both sides of the 9" will not move very much. I could cut off the old flange and tie into that pipe but the waste would make a big loop and I am worried about clogs. Worst case I could bust open the drywall below and cut out everything and start over but that is a something I really do not want to do. I am looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Use no hub couplings if needed..................

You can roll back the rubber part to fit the pipe..

1" coupling for repeated connect/disconnect

Sped2001 on May 24, 2016

I'm installing a water pump with 1" fpt on both intake and discharge. It'll only be used during the warmer months, and the location is a bit exposed, so I'd like to be able to easily remove it in the fall and re-install it each spring. What sort of couplings should I use on the 1" PVC ? Would this [url=http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homewerks-Worldwide-1-in-PVC-Slip-x-Slip-Union-511-14-1-1H/204202879]1 in.

problem with PRV or expansion tank or what else

HappyDude on May 24, 2016

all was well until Waterline replaced outside of home along with PRV (2 times in 2 days brand new - watts brand). Current values: street pressure - ~180psi PRV preset - 50psi expansion tank psi - 49.5 ( checked with pressure gauge, no bleeding) tapping tests shows no problems. Problem: when water not used for a while psi creeps up to 70-80psi. while using or soon after using water psi = 50. then very slowly it creeps up. one scenario: psi measured inside 75. flush toilet. psi comes down to 45. water meter gauge spins at normal speed, when toilet water refills. psi reads 50 then magic happens - it does not stop there. watermeter starts rotate very slowly, can hear hiss sound from near the prv/meter area (meaning water is very slowly flowing). this process continues until 70+ psi then spinning stops, hiss sound stops. psi steady. any expert help please. desperate.Read More
