BACK-TO-BACK INSTALLATION
Recommended fitting type for
back-to-back installations.
Depending upon your plumbing and venting conditions, the flow from the toilet in
a back-to-back installation may create a vacuum on the system and draw water
from the opposing bowl. The National Standards Plumbing Code prohibits the use
of a cross fitting for drainage as throw over is possible. The code does approve a
directional "Y" style fitting with proper venting to direct the water downward and
away from the other toilet.
Press firmly.
