Hoping that someone could provide some insight on how to fix my current toilet problem. We recently installed a new toilet in our powder room, however we didn't really get the desired result and have been told that we really don't have many options in terms of fixing the problem. It appears that the plumbing was originally dug out too far from the wall (the center of the pipe is roughly 17" from the base of the wall). We've been told that short of digging up the concrete (and new flooring) we really don't have any options that would help to move the toilet back closer to the wall (it currently sits 7.5" away from the back of the tank to the wall -- see photos). I've also seen a part that Toto makes that allows you to adjust the depth of the toilet (14", 12", 10") but I cannot afford any of the Toto toilets that the part is compatible with at this time. So the question is, will replacing the toilet we installed with a 10" rough-in model as opposed to the current 12" model help bring us 2" closer to the wall, or will it push us out an additional 2"? The whole this is a bit confusing to me. Are there any other alternatives short of digging up the floor and redoing the line?
Thanks!
Thanks!
