Hi, I am a new member and have been very excited to find this forum. I have read and learned a lot.
I am in the process of remodeling my master bathroom, and am concerned about the new toilet fitting the existing rough-in. The rough-in measures at 11 1/4" to the drywall. The old toilet sat with the tank flush against the wall which always bothered me as the lid scuffed the paint and it just looked wrong.
I would like some advice as to whether I should install an offset closet flange, or adjust some of the plumbing under the floor to fix the rough-in to a proper 12".
I have been under the house and I should have easy access to under floor plumbing. There are no joists in the way. The toilet drain and vent are teed off of a long run of abs.
Is it possible to just deflect the long run of abs to make up the 3/4" or will moving that pipe put too much stress on the joints? Or should I add an extension to the pipe between the tee and the toilet elbow?
BTW the subfloor is tongue and groove planking, and I have removed the 1/2" plywood that was on top in order to install hardi-backer and tile. Thanks!
