Need a lot more info. How far do you need to go to get to existing sewer and water? Is it downhill or uphill? Can it freeze?

Well, that's definitely not what was construed from the Title or your original post. So, I'll definitely reiterate my original post- No Plumbing would definitely make an incinerator toilet a very easy compromise- and no permitting would be required. Which leads me to a more direct question- if you're going to permit this, why not ask the AHJ what they want you to do?

 

[deerhunter88]

No permitting is required. Maybe i should have said no existing plumbing in slab. I plan to pipe through the wall and tap into current line going to my septic tank. I dont not want to break into the cement slab.

My bathroom has the door swing and vanity at the barn floor level, with the toilet and shower one step up. The stepped up area is about two thirds of the room. The plumbing for the toilet and shower are below the step up with no concrete being disturbed. It goes out the back of the bathroom, turns 90 degrees and exits the building above grade. I painted the pipe outside to match the building.

than a wall hanging toilet is the cat's behind for you. run a vent up inside the wall cavity for the stool and a sink, of course an adequate wall support and hanger for a wall stool.

Wall stools are great till you have 350 lb guys sitting on them make sure your walls studs are good double them up if you can there is a lot of torque on a wall toilet, and do yourself a favor hang it at the wright height not to high but not to low as we get older the toilet that's low to the ground is a pain in the knee.

If near an outside wall punch a hole in slab and run plumbing waste piping through it. The reverence for the sanctity of concrete slabs is hogwash.

I've seen them before with a kickstand like attachment on the front for extra "support".

The easiest labor but most expensive: You can get a wall carrier for a wall mount toilet (water closet) much like every commercial set up. You need a lot of wall depth and the floor mount models have over a 500 pound capacity.

that slab sanctity is over rated, so says this fairly recent convert.

 

[deerhunter88]

how big does the step need to be?

Exactly. Cement saw rental is cheap and quick.

Bags, 5 gallon bucket in a comfy enclosure, and spend the couple grand you save on tools.

Mine was built in 1935 and has the sewer pipe coming in from outdoors just above the slab. The toilet is one step up from the rest of the restroom. A split-level bathroom. You get used to it.
