Carolina II

[Steve73501]

I am replacing my toilet with a Toto Carolina II. My rough in is 13.5” and the current tank sits 2” off the wall. This makes me think my current toilet is a 12” rough in. I want to put the 14” unifit but unsure if the new toilet will fit. I believe the tank will be 7/8” off the wall and the bottom will be 1 1/8” off the wall using the spec sheet. I am also installing a Dahl mini-ball E33-2386-A. My water supply is about 5 1/2” off center. Am I looking at everything right for the 14” unifit install?

You did see that the Carolina II datasheet called for the supply to be 8 inch left of center. So is your main question to ask how much margin they built into that number?

Sometimes 6", and sometimes 7".

No. My main question is can I use a 14” unifit?

Probably, and probably straightforwardly. You won't be sure until you see the flange.


I used a 12 when I had a 13 or so rough. I don't expect you will have to do anything similar.

Let us know if your supply clears.

When your rough-in is exact and you use the corresponding UniFit adapter, there should be a NOMINAL (that means it can vary a bit) 3/4" behind the toilet. With 13.5, using a 14" unifit adapter, you should have 1/4" behind the toilet. That assumes that the wall is perpendicular to the floor and doesn't have any bows or warps to it. So, the toilet might fit, but you may not clear the shutoff valve or supply hose. If you used the 12" unifit that comes with the toilet, you'd have that nominal 3/4" + the 1.5" excess, or about 2.25". Now, you can fudge the install of the adapter onto the flange by maybe 3/8" or so bringing that gap down to 1-7/8" and still have the outlet pointing straight into the drain hole.

Well, I ended up using the 12” unifit. I am not disappointed. I went from 2” to 2.125” back wall distance and the Dahl ball valve clears the rear of the toilet. I really like how it turned out.
