Toilet Tank Too Close To Wall Tile

I would never attempt to install the pipe that way and hope it would all come out properly in the end because.

Toilet tank too close to wall tile.

The toilets were installed too close to the walls. Reframe it as if it were a low doorway. As a result when the toilet was seated by the plumbing contractors it turned out to be too close to one of the side walls. You must have a 15 rough.

Sometimes building contractors make mistakes. There s a way to move your toilet if it s too close to the wall. The only way a floor mount tank type toilet would fit tight to the wall would be if the plumber knew exactly how far the opening had to be from the finished wall and also knew how thick the finished wall would be from the framing. The closet you can get would be a 14 rough toilet.

Beat on the wall to get the room to get it to fit or loosen the bolts in the bottom of the tank and slide it to one side. Add a rectangle of 3 4 plywood against the back of opposite rooms drywall. The toilet tanks are right against the wall and there hasn t been a problem. They built the walls in a friend s bathroom too close to the waste stack pipe in the floor.

The distance from the back wall to the flange is based on the toilet design while the clearances to side and front walls are set by the local building code. Some brands have a tank that would be perhaps 2 thicker. You really don t need that wall behind the toilet do you. Should be enough wiggle room in the bolt holes to get it back on there.

The framing could have been moved or boxed out. Even if you were to switch brands and use a 2 offset it would still be away from the wall. However now one of the tanks has started to do a slow drip. You determine the location of the toilet relative to the surrounding walls when you cut the hole in the floor for the flange which is the fitting that connects the toilet to the waste line.

Create an alcove behind the commode by removing the drywall and studs to a height and width that will clear the tank. And yes it actually does have to do with the toilet you chose.
