Condensation from my existing toilet has rotted my subfloor, so we're planning a limited repair and replacement of the old toilet. The available floor space for the toilet is 40 in. from front to back and 28 in side to side (wall to vanity), with a rough in of 15 in. Since we can't afford a wall-mounted toilet, we're trying to sort out our options. The unifit Totos are too long (elongated bowls) as are the 14 in. Gerber Avalanches (the other alt. offered by our plumbing supplier), so now we're thinking creatively (ha!). We're considering using the current RI for a Toto Aquia placed diagonally in the corner. Here are my concerns:
1. is such a diagonal placement possible on an existing flange?
2. for our installation to work, the toilet be fully in the corner as possible (i.e., no access to the back of the toilet)--will that make installation impossible?
The other alternative is re-roughing in the drain to 12, which would allow for more toilet selection, although still a tight fit. The floor is coming up anyway, but I'm not sure how much more complicated it would be.
Thanks for your thoughts.
