Pros & Cons of 10" toilet rough in versus 12" toilet rough in

10 years ago

Currently replacing a standard toilet for a 12" rough-in but the original rough-in was not properly done in the slab which meant the toilet tank was very tight to the wall and lid did not fit properly. Also discovered mold on the wall because of the condensation. So do we settle with a toilet for a 10" rough-in or break thru the slab and move the drain or just stay with a toilet for 12" rough-in and be tight against the wall. The options for 10" seem limited.

I'd move the wall before breaking the slab. Easiest and cheapest is the 10" rough in.

Look at Toto toilets. They have a Unifit adapter that will solve all your problems! The Unift adapter works with TOTO models: Carlyle, Carrollton, Carolina, Lloyd, Pacifica, Soiree and Guinevere. I personally love the Carolina. I use Toto all the time, they are very good. Good luck and let me know if I can help you further! Mary
