Hi there,
Ok, I have another issue. I got the Toto Vespin II installed and man, it feels like a Ferrari of toilets in my bathroom. Ok, maybe a Lexus LFA. Anyhoot, I have a 13 3/4" rough, so I used the 14" Unifit adaptor for the install. This put the toilet very close to the wall, and somehow the Vespin fit onto the gasket from the Unifit (I tripled-checked because I was worried about leaks). Flushing tests have been fine (no leaks apparent) but one minor issue, the toilet tank cover won't slide back far enough to seat on to the top of the tank! It looks like a small wood piece, maybe 1" x 18" as a shelf support is in the way.
Question, is there such a thing as a 'low-profile' tank cover for the Vespin II? I'm about to Google it but thought I'd ask here. I guess I could remove the support but that seems risky.
I do like how far back the toilet sits, and it really maximizes the space. No longer do I have to sit with the towels. Also, where can I get those plastic shims, and how worried should I be about making the bowl perfectly level? I used some of that self-hardening putty to get the toilet closer to level, and it's nice coz I can hide it pretty well and caulk around it later and once I am sure there are no leaks.
By the way this was my first toilet-install. While relocating the supply line scared me off (I hired a pro for that), I found the installation to be pretty easy, except not knowing what I don't know and having to make an extra trip to the hardware store for supplies (wax ring, new flex hose, etc.).
Thanks much,
