Default Toilet install


"N O" wrote in message

Soon I'll be installing a new toilet in a bath remod I'm doing. I've
read somewhere that the distance from the wall to the center of the
toilet drain should be at least 14"... Is that correct. If so, I'm in
trouble because I only see 12"...

Can I buy a toilet to fit that..?
Tanks..

Twelve (actually 11.5" is the absolute minimum) from the wall to the center
of the flange (where the bolt heads are) is the standard in US residential
construction.

There are some old ones out there where it is only 10".

If you need some tips on doing the job, see my sig line. Pictures are on
the way for the articles.
