So I bought a house that was built in the 1940s. I don't believe the toilets have ever been updated. They are both horrible at flushing anything. The one I took pictures of is worst (probably something to do with it having the original flushing mechanisms). I was hoping to replace the toilets and bought a 12 inch rough in from a big box store (I told associate I had super old toilets, he assured me 99% of toilets are 12 inch rough in, thats what I get for not listening to my gut) and now realize I do not have a 12 inch rough in. Heck I dont even think I have a 10 inch rough in. If a 10 inch will fit I am going to go with the toto drake. Can you guys look at these pics and let me know what you think?
As you can see it appears to be like 8 1/2 to 9 inches rough in.
Old 4 bolt.
Old Mansfield No 12.
Etched numbers say 22 Aug 10 1946
A look from in the basement. From the stud to a little over center of pipe is 10 inches. Don't know if this tells you anything or not.
Yes there is some old signs of leaking but inspector cleared it.
