wtf don't they make 11" toilets??? now i have to tear up an entire brand new tile floor because they keep changing things to sell more toilets

>>2941751 (OP)
Just get an older toilet that is 11 inches. The ReStore might have one. Or not flip out over a toilet having an inch gap from the wall.

Do you have room to use one of those offset flanges?
Cut out a bit of tile near the flange -- it'll be under the toilet anyhow so it doesn't need to fit nice around the waste pipe

>>2941751 (OP)
10" will have an extra inch behind the tank, is that a problem?

>>2941917
This. Are you retarded op?

>>2941751 (OP)
Had this exact conversation with a friend who tried buying a 14"
>Your's is a 10" standard toilet
Buy the next number smaller than what you measured. This is normal. That roughout was eyeballed by a drunk Guatemalan, don't worry.

the basin should touch the wall.

>the basin should touch the wall.
You're a complete imbecile and nothing that contains water should ever touch a wall. How do you clean behind the tank?

>>2942360
Stop sitting down to pee

A tip from someone who's been doing residential remodeling for 20 years, always buy your fixtures first. That way you know exactly how everything needs to be situated and you don't have to redo anything.

Incorrect.

>>2941751 (OP)
install a 10" toilet it doesnt need to be directly against the wall you will just have a small gap back there that you will never notice

>>2942536
after a while it's impossible to get the stains out of the tiles i would guess that's the time to change tiles

OP frame a picture behind it like you are supposed to. If you don't do it and post pics, you're gay.

you can get a 10" RI tank for plenty of comfortheight, elongated toilets. just calling a plumbing supply store and ask

It doesn't have to. It doesn't attach to the wall. Are you special needs or something?
