Hi
I have an older house and several of the toilets are roughed in for a 14 inch toilet. Space is an issue So i would rather have the 2 inches of a gap in front of the seat then in the back between the wall and the tank.
I have been reading a lot about the TOTO line that uses the unifit adapter on this forum. Terry, thanks for educating the masses and DIYser like me who can learn about various options. However, that system is about $400 (for one of the cheapest compatible TOTO toilets) and I still remain with a 14 inch rough in.
btw, any place to read up on the step by step instalation of the unifit adapter and the toto compatible toilet (vespin for example)?
Taking the entire pipe out (My floor is down to studs, so I can get to the stack) and replacing it with a 12 inch would be challenging since there is a need for a Y to add the tub drain (at least that is what my plumber is telling me).
I saw in HD they had a 14 inch to 12 inch flange converter. Seems that the flange may work for my system, but HD only has 4 inch to 3 inch, which is a problem because my old drain pipe for the toilet (cast iron) is 4 inch. Have you seen a 4inch to 4inch 14 inch to 12 inch toilet flange?
or maybe can I use this flange that from what I can tell fits instide the 4inch pipe? http://www.ronshomeandhardware.com/3-4-Off-Closet-Flange-p/745034.htm?click=1014
I don't minde getting TOTO afterall, knowing I will have a great product, but I would rather have a 12 inch rough in and the TOT Drake, then pay lot of money for a toilet that will still have the now obsolete plumbing configuration.
Thoughts?
