Hi all, I have a bit of a situation here. I am in the middle of a bathroom remodel. Never really figured that the toilet rough in would cause me problems. One would think that it would be standard or at least easily remedied. I was on my way to Lowes to pick up a new toilet--I know it was not going to be a Toto, but in 39 years I haven't had the pleasure of using one and got by just fine... It was to be the Kohler Cimarron--which seems to get pretty good reviews except on this forum for some reason. I think I am slowly getting brainwashed like all of you because I started looking into getting a Toto this morning. I found a shop that sells them only a few minutes from my house-it must be an omen. I shall be looking at them in a bit here. Here is my dilemma. My rough in is at 13.5". Not quite the 14" and way larger than the 12" standard. So it looks like I am either going to be too far from the wall or jammed right aganst it. I can't, or won't, tear up the slab--I just finished re-tiling it. Also, my water shutoff is at 6" from center of flange, and 6.5" off of floor. So I am sure that will probably be a problem if I can manage to get the 14" rough in adapter to work. Is there a reason why there isn't an easy solution for this? I am no mechanical engineer, but it sure seems like it wouldn't be too difficult making a toilet that can be adaptable within a couple inches with out putiing some huge skirt around the bottom. Toto realizes that 5.5" offset for shutoff is standard, yet they design the toilet too large to accomodate this? What is up with that? Any way, I am just a frustrated homeowner needing to vent. What is the cheapest, gmax flush(or better), elongated bowl, ada compliant, with CEFIONTECT finish that Toto makes that also will work with the 14" rough in adapter if I need it? Thanks
