Also, instead of trimming the flange on the right side of the tank, I opened up the wall under the shower, and pushed the tank partially under there. It achieved the same end but with less tank cutting.

THANK YOU DUDEABIDES, for all your research and launching me on this mission to remove the regurgitating toilet.

I know that this is an old thread but I thought that someone may know the answer.

Why us 3" pipe? Is there a reason for not using 4" Pipe?

Just as an example........ if you were to use 190" of 3" that would give you approximately 6G of capacity. If you went with 4" pipe, that would give you about 10.5G capacity. Almost double.

If the only reason is the 3" trap, there are reducers from 4" to 3" for hooking up to the trap.
