I was given a Toto toilet to replace an existing Am Standard....I am told because it's current owner has ruined her floor due to a leak which was caused possibly by the floor opening be 10 inches and the Toto having a 12" size?
I understand the standard opening is 10"? Is that size what my Am Standard would have? (installed 17 years ago)
If I am to use this Toto, do I have to do major rework to the floor opening so it does not leak like the previous owner?
I am trying to install myself, so please let me know if:
*the opening size (on the floor) will need to be changed
*the piping or water supply distance will be different as I was told this also is different distance the the american toilets?
Since I am a single parent w/an autistic son, I am hoping to do this myself but do I need to get a plumber (last resort for me)
*if their floor was leaking, what can I do to better understand how to problem solve this reinstall?
Thanks for any detailed suggestions.
