    will the soil pipe connection rotate?

    I am moving the position of a WC which connects to the roof vent pipe and discharge pipe. To do so I would like to rotate the soil pipe about 40 degree anti clockwise. My question is: will the multi purpose boss connector the soil connects to rotate if I re position it? Thank you once again.
