I recently had a bathroom remodeled and the new toilet I installed had a 12" rough in and is 2.5" away from the back wall. Because this is a fairly small bathroom, and it is next to a pedastal sink that is flush with the wall, the 2.5" inches really stands out. I've look into buying a 14" rough-in toilet, however, they don't have it in the toilet that we purchased (Kohlers Memoir Line).
We have cast iron plumbing - I was looking into two solutions
(1) a 2" cast iron offest toilet flange. I have two concerns with this option - I might lose suction power and the 2" flange looks complicated too install as it requires bonding "lead to lead" (excuse my ignorance here, I simply mean that it is not a bolt on solution but requires some sort of 'welding'). I have a contractor doing the installation, but not sure this is his expertise...
(2) a 1" cast iron offset toilet flange that is bolts around the existing pipe. This does not solve the entire problem, but gets the distance between the toilet and the wall to a manageable distance.
Are my concerns regarding loss of flusing power and difficutly in installing in scenario (1) valid? Any potential flushing or leaking issues with the more stadndard 1" offest flange described in scenario (2) above?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.
