Flooring Tile - Tricky Ceramic cuts

Hi
I'm getting ready to lay ceramic floor tile in my bathroom and i have a couple of tricky cuts that I'm not sure how to handle. Can someone please tell me how to cut around a floor vent (4" x 10" vent) and how to cut a hole for copper water line coming up to service the toilet.
BTW, I'm using a wet saw for the regular cuts.
Thanks

use the wet saw to cut out the 4x10, try to lay out the tile pattern so it makes the cuts easy but still strong. If you have to cut a ushape out just make your two side cuts first then make a series of smaller cuts and the small pieces will just knip out or use the wet saw to clean the edge. For the hole in the tile use a drill bit that cuts through ceramic or try to lay the floor out where the pipe falls between two tiles. You can also use an angle grinder with a 4'" diamond blade--bit more dusty but works just fine and might be a little easier to cut out the floor grill with grinder. Make sure you don't cut the opening exactly 4x10, you need a little room to fit the grill in and have it operate properly. good luck

Why is there a floor vent in your bathroom? I didn't think any code allowed that?

Thanks for the feedback. I like the idea of several cuts with the wet saw - I just hope the hole lines up well or it might be tricky. As for the hole for the water supply, would I be looking for a hole saw or a regular high speed bit?

BTW, this is a heater vent hole - why would there be any code issues?

I'm no code expert but an overflowing toilet or broken pipe in the sink could result in problems for your furnace, assuming the bathroom is at a higher elevation. :)
