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.
