Moving a toilet, hub, etc....

Hi everyone,
I am hoping that there are some plumbing folks here that might be able
to help me figure out what I should do with my toilet. I have posted
in this group several times about the work that I am doing on the
bathroom in my basement. We ripped out a closet in order to enlarge
the bathroom but as a result, the toilet is no longer proportioned
with the rest of the room. Basically we want to move the toilet over
approximately 16 inches to the left. What we have done so far is to
jackhammer the floor to expose the pipe leading to the toilet as well
as the hub, and we have jackhammered a new trench for where the toilet
will be.
We are planning to use a 45 degree elbow, but we are a bit confused as
to whether it should be attached to the hub, or to the pipe itself.
I've tried to explain this as best as I can, so please forgive me if
its a bit hard to understand
Thanks, MrA
The people that come after you will run a snake down the toilet
throat and expect it to keep traveling thru your new connection.
So design your system with that as the sole design criteria and you
will be happy with the result. If at all possible add a cleanout to
the system as close to the toilet as possible.
