I'm confused. I understand that a 12" rough -in toilet means that is it intended to be installed with the flange bolts being 12" from the surface of the wall behind the toilet. Have I got that right? If not, please correct me. I am finding that I do not get consistent answers to that question. If I do have that right, then I am still confused because I find that some 12" rough-in toilets installed in such a setting would result in a slightly too tight clearance between the wall and the back of the tank, (where it would put some pressure on the connection between the tank and the bowl), and with others there would be a gap behind the tank of up to 3/4". So what gives? I am grateful for any help.
