Test Plug Size for Toilet Removal

[Nomad Mike]

I need to remove my toilet for a bit and would like to know what size test plug would be needed to plug the toilet? The plumbing diagram was not helpful.

I pulled my toilet last year to rebuild the seal and was very simple. I used a rag to seal the holding tank hole and a couple towels to catch the water from the supply. Make sure the pump is off and pressure is relieved from the system. Piece of cake except to smell.
I flushed my holding tank very well before I pulled the toilet.

Standard 3 x 4. You need a 3" plug.

It will be out for a while, so a plug is best.

I relieve the pressure by opening the valve next to the pump and the two in the wet bay?

All I did was open the faucet and then press down on the flusher for a bit and then disconnect the supply and 2 bolts that hold the toilet to the floor. Just put down a couple towels to catch the water from the lines. Not a lot of water but enough without something to absorb it. It's an hour job round trip with the repair. I was supprised how quick it went.
