I am purchasing a new toilet for my master bath this week. The plumbing supply said to measure from the wall to the hold down bolts. That measures 13 inches. So, I assume I can use a 10 or 12 inch toilet and live with extra space between tank and wall on a 10 inch.
Going back to an old post and problem. My front bath has had no toilet for months. The plumbers tell me to measure from the wall to the center of the flange which is 9 inches. Thus, they say I need to rip up my flooring to extend the flange. But when I measure from the wall to the hold down bolts I hit 10 inches. The distance between the hold down bolts in the front bath is 6 inches.
So, who is right? The plumber or the plumbing supply house? How do I tell what size toilet I need? Are the plumbers trying to scrounge up money on the front bath by saying I need to rip up the floor? Would a 10 inch toilet work after all?
Thanks.
