Hi all. I have a 1930s style bathroom with an ancient "Standard" Compact toilet which is difficult to clean, wastes water, and is prone to clogging:
I'd like to replace it with a reliable, similarly compact toilet, preferably in a traditional style harmonious with the rest of the bathroom. I had in mind something like the Toto Promenade CST423EF(G).
The problem is finding a toilet that a plumber will be able to install without too much headache or extra expense due to having to move the supply, retiling, etc.
The supply is floor mounted about 5" from the rear wall...
and the supply is about 4-1/2" from the center of the tank...
The rough in looks to be at about 11-1/2".
The Toto Promenade CST423EF has very comparable depth (26-1/8") to the existing toilet and the Promenade's height is no issue. However, it looks to me like the bottom of the Promenade extends all the way to the rear wall and therefore might not fit with the supply line mounted where it is.
What's the path of least resistance here without this turning into an expensive installation? I'm not necessarily wedded to the Toto Promenade, but the aim is to install a quality toilet in a traditional style if possible.
