After removing the original toilet and flange completely, Im at a point where I can install the new one basically anywhere I want (inline with the waste pipe of course). My question is, how far from the finished wall?
Its a Toto Drake, and Toto seems to recommend 12" from the finished wall. How close does this put the tank to the wall?
The reason Im asking is because the original toilet was a 12" rough in, but there was a large gap (1.5 to 2") between the toilet and the wall. Same goes for the other toilet in our house.......12" rough in toilet, with a 1.25" gap between tank and wall.
While everything is uncut/undrilled, I was wondering if I needed to go closer than 12" to snug the tank up to the wall (not right against the wall, maybe 1/2" or so away from it)
Thanks.
