Not sure if this should go in the toilet forum, but here goes...
I'm getting ready to finish my basement and will be installing an upflush toilet (likely a Saniflo). Because of the location of the bathroom, the line will be run toward the current beginning of the septic line. The way it was plumbed, there's a cleanout at the very beginning next to the first drain coming in, which comes from a wye connected to my kitchen sink. Should I 1)cut into the septic line further down and use nohub connectors to install a wye to go to the saniflo? Or 2) do I try to cut off the cleanout on the end, use a rambit to clean out the connection, extend it with a new wye for the saniflo, and install a new cleanout on the extended end? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm no plumber, but am reasonably handy. Picture attached for reference.
