My girlfriend decided it was time to update our very small (5' x 4.5') powder room. To make a long story short, we gutted the room, ripped off all the old drywall, 5 layers of tile and vinyl floor, got rid of the old 60's toilet and vanity. Replaced all the drywall, painted. Went shopping for a toilet. Discovered that the round bowl Kohler Wellness the girlfriend got at big box store is too big for the facing door to swing closed. The old toilet had about 1/2" clearance from the door.
The powder room is approx 5' x 4.5' with the door facing where the toilet goes. We are looking for a toilet that will fit, and its very difficult by looking at specs whether a toilet will fit or not. I did a scale drawing of the floor with the walls, location of the flange, and traced the door opening and took it to some dealers.
I got several suggestions for possible toilets. One common suggestion was that the Toto Ultimate RB might fit. I looked up some reviews for the Ultimate they are basically favourable although one poster on this site said that it often took more that one flush to clear the bowl and that the bowl was streaked. I checked the MAP rating for the Ultimate on www.map-testing.com and it shows =>400. A couple of dealers told me that anything greater than 700 is good, but it looks like the map for the ultimate is somewhat less.
We did consider moving the soil pipe a few inches but would rather avoid if possible.
I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions for high performing toilets that might fit into the tight dimensions.
Thanks in advance.
