it has to be as high as the concrete you plan to pour or have poured. and yes it needs to be vented. but if you connect into existing lines it will lead to a vent you dont need to run a pipe all the way up your house and out your roof.
Well the code books I read state that before one just connects to an existing vent pipe they should know the fixture units connected and the developed length of piping and fitting as to not over load the systems BUT to each their own I reckon...Wiki User

If your stench pipe terminates inside the building how can the system be vented?
I haven't heard it called THAT before. Most of the time it's called a "vent" pipe. Anyway, they typically vent to the outside, straight up through the roof. Anything else is in violation of building and public health codes. You can ventilate the pipe with an air admittance valve . A device which lets air in but not the smell out . It would save having to go through the roof e.t.c.

What is the best way to move the toilet flange a couple of feet and is there an adapter to go from cast iron to PVC?
Cut the toilet line down at the first 90 from the flange, and relocate so that your toilet is still vented from it's orignal vent. If it is dry vented, you need to move the toilet and the vent. A no-hub band or fernco coupling is the preferred transistion from cast iron to PVC.Ans 2 -good advice. - BTW, - a Fernco is a heavy duty rubber coupling with a hose clamp each end. They come in many sizes.

Can a basement floor drain be tapped into to run the drain from a nearby newly installed basement toilet into it?
If you just plan on putting the toilet on top of the floor drain the answer is no. The floor drain if it leads to a septic system or city sewer would have a trap in the line which will not work with a toilet. Depending on the size of the pipe 3" minimum you could cut the floor and tie a toilet into the line. It would also have to be properly vented. I would consult a plumber on the job. Its also possible that the floor drain just goes to a dry well which could not be used. Even if it could not be used there are other ways to install a toilet below the septic or sewer line.
If a toilet is installed in the basement does it need to be vented separately or can you just tap into the main drain?

How do you install a closet flange on a waste pipe in a concrete floor that is not vertical?
I would need to know how the pipe you want to use is set. I will guess that it might be horizontal? There is a saddle clamp available that could possible be used. A section of pipe could be cut out and an inlet added. Rubber couplers would be used to connect the two. You also have to consider how and where a toilet would be vented. Is there a vent behind where you are planing to install the toilet and if not can one be added?
