I have a question about the installation of some of the skirted Toto toilets, such as the Carlyle II, Soiree II, and Vespin II. The installation of these generally require the attaching a Unifit adapter to the floor with 4 screws. I am wondering if this is appropriate for all types of floors, and in particular mine. My bathroom floors are thick terracotta Saltillo tiles over a concrete slab with embedded radiant heat piping.
In this case, I assume that anchor plugs will have to be used. How long are the screws and anchors that are used in the installation? I am wondering how far into the slab they would need to go. Further, i am wondering if I risk hitting hitting the radiant heat piping. I didn't install the radiant heat, it was done about 17 years ago and I don't know what the convention was then. Would they have put radiant heat piping directly behind the toilet drain/flange? Further, how deep into the slab would they have put the piping? Is there a risk with this installation or do I really have nothing to worry about. Any idea how the terracotta Saltillo tiles will hold an anchor and screw? Thanks for the help!
