Every toilet I've ever worked with (not many, I admit) has a stack in the wall directly behind it, including mine. I'm re-doing my bathroom and I'd like to install a wall-hung toilet. I have 2×4 construction, and Toto makes an in-wall tank designed to fit between 2x4s. Great. However, the diagram they give indicates my stack would by right in the way of the tank, and their document doesn't contain the terms "venting" or "stack" anywhere. Here is their installation guide (PDF)
What do I need to do to make this work?

The simple answer to your dilemma is that you have two choices..either relocate the toilet location to one side of the vent stack - or - to route the vent stack pipe around the place the 'in-wall' components are mounted.
On top of that if your stud spacing is not now 25-3/8" you may be doing some framing work in your wall anyway.
