I will do that and let you know how things turn out in a few days... : Many toilets will work with less than twelve inches. The best thing for you, if it's : already roughed in, is to assemble the toilet, set it against the wall and check the measurement. : : Oohh boy. Looks like I might have a 1/2" problem (don't know why I didn't think about this before...). : : Is there usually an allowance in this 12" standard or is 12" the absolute minimum? : : : : : They are referring to the measurement from the finished wall, whether that is drywall or tile. : : : : Just to clarify... : : : : When everyone talks about a 12" rough-in for a toilet drain, are we talking about 12" from the centre of the drain to the studs, or to the finished wall (i.e. drywall). I know it's only 1/2" or so, but that could make all the difference...
