We are doing a small bathroom reno on 100 y/o Boston property. In order for the door to close, the current toilet (14" flange) sits askew. However, the toilet is several inches out from the wall, so moving it back allows the toilet to sit straight and the door to close. I think the Toto Vespin II with the unfit adapter solves our problem. This may be a dumb question, but for a 14" flange, do I order the 14" adapter? That will move it closer to the wall?
Move toilet closer to wall?

It sounds like they put a 12" rough in toilet on your 14" rough in. As far as I know, Toto is the only one with something like the UniFit adapter that keeps the toilet the same overall length but lets you adjust it relative to the wall by picking the appropriate adapter. Many of the others, make the tank thinner or deeper to fill that gap, while projecting the toilet further out into the room from the flange. Assuming (and this is critical!) that your rough-ins are accurately either 10, 12, or 14", in each case, with the appropriate adapter, the toile will sit approximately 3/4" from the wall.
Yes, if your rough-in is actually 14", you will need to order the optional 14" one, and there is no credit for the 12" one you won't be using.
