Hello
In the 2nd bathroom (kids bathroom I guess) the current toilet is way too low (14-1/2)
My daughter is now 16, and I want to install a higher one (16-1/2 or so)
But I want to find the shortest one depth wise.....Front edge of the bowl is currently around 26-3/4" from the finished wall, and rough in 12"
Which model would you recommend to stay at 27" max from the wall, without breaking the bank ($150 max)?
Thanks

https://images.homedepot-static.com/catalog/pdfImages/66/66225261-724b-40bb-baa0-3e144d72695e.pdf could be a contender for your title question, but not your price.

http://www.totousa.com/filemanager_uploads/product_assets/SS-00577_CST405MF.pdf would be much more expensive also, and may not even be available.

To save some time in your searches for something after you realize that you are not going to match your wishes, add round to your search terms.

One thing you need to check or you could be very disappointed, is to first determine exactly what your rough-in is currently set to. It may not be exactly 12" (or 10 or 14). The dimensions given assume your rough-in is exact.

Then, consider that you can often 'cheat' the location maybe up to 3/8" or so by setting the toilet slightly off-center of the nominal location by sliding the bolts some. The typical outlet of most toilets is a bit over 2", the horn adds maybe another 1/2", and the opening is at least 3". SO, while the bolts will get closer together as you slide them away from their ideal point, the holes in the toilet have some slop in them, so you can move it back some and still have everything work.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
