Well, you're not going to get any help from those dummies you post
through at HomeMoanersHub but you will here at alt.home.repair.

You can buy an 'extender' at plumbing supply shops or maybe Home
Depot or Lowe's. It will enable any new toilet to fit your present
toilet floor connection.

http://www.homedepot.com/p/3-in-x-4-...OMPK/202313204

There are different brands of these adapters and if you don't see
what you're looking for at either Home Depot or Lowe's head to a
bonafide plumbing shop.

I could have used one of these last year when I did a complete
bathroom remodel but I opted for a banjo countertop that extends
over the commode tank and do not regret my decision at all. Not
only did it cover that 3 or 4 inch gap but it created extra counter
space which was greatly needed in this tiny, tiny bathroom.

There are still 10" rough-in toilets, brand names.

I'm not sure the OP's measurements are accurate.

What bolts are you measuring, the tank bolts or the bowl bolts? The
bowl bolts are ~ center of the sewer pipe.

The only "right size", for a floor outlet toilet, would be a 6-inch rough-in
toilet and they don't exist, as far as I've seen. Joan's not right, her
solution would only get you out to 8-1/2-inches and those don't exist either.
However, do you have a rear-outlet toilet and the bolts are just floor-bolts
and not toilet flange bolts? Those toilets, can be found at places like
Signature Hardware (
http://www.signaturehardware.com/bat...sc&order=price
)

Otherwise, if you have a floor outlet setup, then do yourself a favor and pay
some decent coin to a Plumber. Have them change your rough-in to the standard
12" so you'll have the largest selection of toilets to choose from. I
personally, have done great with the $100 to $150 store-brand models from the
Home Improvement stores...12" rough-in, of course.

Could you clarify that please? Do you men you installed mny of them on
different jobs or you do well whn you have to replace them after a
couple of years?

My preference would be elongated bowl, comfort height, regardless of the
brand. Slow close seat too. I have Kohler but I'm sure others make
good ones.

+1 on the elongated bowl, American Standard Cub Cadet here, hasn't let

I replaced (had it done) a Kohler last year with a American Standard.
I bought the model DerbyDad has.

After I compared it with others a testing database.

No, I wouldn't say many, but at least a dozen since the turn of the century.
Not a one has needed nor been requested to be replaced. I've only just begun
to swap-out original fill-valves, which don't have replaceable seals. I
haven't even been able to clog the Project Source ones in my house that are
5-years old.

Almost all your preferences are in that price range, you'd just need to buy a
separate toilet seat for $30. Some people prefer old brands and American
Standard, Delta and Kohler have good cheap options too. But, only after they
were all handed their hat by cheapies, just like the paint industry...except
the paint companies refuse to improve.

You'll not find a ****ter to fit that scant space, me bucko.
Better move those bolts instead.

People with bird butts only need a small one.


Sure, and........ Did I ever mention the size of my ass? I've (jokingly) always called it a "classical ass," on account it's pretty big, like other things.

Like yer mouth. And BOTH are full of ****!

I don't how true this is but I have read in the past the elongated
bowls are harder to keep clean. But my original bathroom is tiny
and I don't want anything taking up any more floor space. That
being said about 5-6-7 years ago I bought the American Standard
Cadet 3, round bowl. Fantastic toilet!!

I don't see why it would be any harder to clean. I just pour in a
little bleach, come back in 15 minutes to swish it around and done. I'm
fanatical about clean toilets. Elongated bowls are more comfy for men
as we have more up front stuff to fit.

No harder to clean, but much less mess and easier when you gotta go in
the middle of the night.

Good for you. The "elongated" toilet is designed for men. They can
dangle their dangling participles in the bowl. Just sayin'.
