Hello,
Wifey said she smelled nastiness in the upstairs bathroom and I also noticed a foul smell yesterday.
Well lo and behold there was no wax ring! WTF!
Bought the house 11 years ago so it's at least that old. I have a Toto washlet on the toilet at the moment so I am going to stick with a round toilet I think.
However! I was wondering what you guys thought if I were to rotate the install and have the toilet facing the vanity.......I have plenty of space to install an elongated, it would give me a reason to install a proper vanity instead of the piece of crap that is there now, and the only issue would be that I'd have to buy an elongated Washlet.........So that's a bit of a bummer.
The center of the flange would be 15" from the finished wall in this alternate layout. The supply would be on the left/side of the toilet but I can shorten the brass nipple no problem.
In the current config the supply is only 4.5" from center but as I saw in Jamie's post the Drake can be installed with as little as 3" from center. Also the center of the flange is 12.5" away from the finished wall.
Or I could combine both ideas and just rotate and install a round toilet, save money by not having to buy another washlet (and I don't have another round toilet to use this washlet on), and get a proper vanity too.
The flange is above the floor.......
What do you guys think is the best route? Stick with rounded in current configuration? Go with rounded and rotate? Go with elongated and rotate?
Oh and I want to get a new toilet anyways since this eljer one clogs up a lot and is very hard to flush. I already installed a Vespin II elongated downstairs and it has been working out great.
Supply height
Supply distance from the side wall. If I go with my updated config, that would become the back wall.
Flang distance from the current side of the toilet. If I go with my updated config, that would become the back wall.
Distance of the flange from the current back wall.
View from the doorway at the vanity. If I go with my updated config, this would basically be the view when sitting on the toilet. I would rip that piece of crap out and install a proper vanity though.
