I re did a bathroom in the basement and the comode tank wound up 3 1/4" away from the wall when the old one was flush. I'm doing the more importaint bathroom and I don't want that to happen again. The drain center is 11 3/4" from the wall. Do I need a comode that is built for that spacing? I thought they were all the same and am confused.

You're in real trouble because when you gotta go...LoL I think you can buy offset mounting flanges that swivel for just the situation you are talking about. There is a commercial on TV for adult incontinence products where a porta-potti from god lands in the front yard. The heading of your post is funny. I remember watching the news quite a few years ago when the first low flush toilets came out. They also mentioned putting a brick in the tank to lower water use in older toilets. They had an old guy on there and asked him what he thought. His response? "You take a real good crap and you gotta flush it three times, so how are saving any water?" LoL Dave

12'' IS THE STANDARD ROUGH IN FROM FINISH WALL 11-3/4'' WILL WORK FINE STAYAWAY FROM THE OFFSET FLORR FLANGES AS THEY WILL CAUSE A STOPAGE SOONER OR LATER AND YOUR CLOSET AUGER WILL GET HUNG UP ON IT WHEN TRYING TO UNSTOP

I remember when I built my house in 1999, I got a video on rough plumbing and they show that there is a standard for a toilet flange on the video. and I added an extra 3 inches or so from the back wall. Clearance behind a toilet is a good thing.

There are offset comode flanges that help or eliminate this situation. I just bought one at lowes a few days ago for a project I have coming up. Check it out-may get your crapper a little closer to the wall.

Public dump announcement, take 3, LOL ;)

The best thing you can do is look at the toilet mfr.'s product data WELL IN ADVANCE, of doing wall layouts, plumbing rough ins etc., like was said, there are 10", 12" rough ins, rear discharge, and others. The product data for the toilet will provide dimensions. We would take the product data of what a contractor would propose to install, and review it against Arch., Mech. DWGS. On residential high rises, I can remember having close calls with elongated bowls and the door swing, the details of any room that is a lavatory, kitchen or anything with mechanicals always needs to be coordinated, architectural layout with the mechanical layout superimposed over it to determine conflicts, general rule of thumb, it's a lot worse when you have a few hundred units and something like this is overlooked !

There is also a comode made for 14" set back. There are 2 issues. How far from the center of the pipe is the fron and back. I finnally measure my space and bought on that would fix between the door and the wall and look right. Its a chair height, elongated, space saver from American Standard. Lowes carried them in January but they weren't there at the end of March. Just finished the bathroom befinning of march.

There's what they call a 12 inch and a 10 inch.I did just the opposite of you.I bought a 12 incher and had to put it in the 10 inch spot.I have the only toilet I've ever seen that's recessed into the wall.I guess it would be too easy to make them all the same.
