In response to Re: Low-Flush Toilet vs. Baseboard Heat
: : We want to replace a Kohler Wellworth Lite installed in 1991 that doesn't flush well. We have baseboard hot water heat (finned tube) so the toilet must have 3" clearance behind the bottom part extending 8 1/4" up in order to clear the heating unit (12" rough-in). Just learned the Toto Drake we selected doesn't have enough clearance. I've e-mailed toilet manufacturers but haven't heard yet. Any ideas? : Robin, Toto has a toilet that can be changed from 12" to 10" rough.That may give you the space you need. Or just a 10" rough in toilet.It would be better if toto would fax you a picture of the rough-in and then you can see how much clearance you would have. Maybe terry will post the info for you. It may be what you need. Dale Peck LMP
