I posted a few weeks ago asking some questions regarding the purchase of a new toilet, and ended up purchasing a TOTO Drake What a surprise!
Before installing the new toilet I've been doing some work taking up a bunch of old 1" ceramic tiles and replacing the cement board. Now I'm getting ready to retile and install the Drake.
I've been reading on the forum that the flange should be mounted on top of the finished floor, but I noted when taking the old toilet up that the flange was flush with the surface of the ceramic tiles. There was a single wax ring. I'm not aware that this was causing any problems, but am wondering if I should be looking at changing the flange height before I go any further. If I do need to raise the flange, how high off of the finished floor should it be? And are there adapters to do this?
Thanks,
Dave M.
