Default 12" rough-in toilets actually measure 10"?

Sorry, Steve, just not so. Commercial toilets don't even have
tanks. No toilets depend on the tank leaning against the wall.
The floor/wall connection needs to be solid on its own. The
rubber or wax gasket is for a water and gas tight seal, not for
supporting or holding the toilet. Vitreous in contact with the
floor or shimmed while being held down by bolts that are well
anchored into the floor or attached to the floor flange if it is
rigidly mounted.

who said anythin' about a commercial toilet?
