Closet Flange- 10" T0 12" Offset

JPF

Hey fellas, a question....

Have a guy calling me asking if there is some sort of adapter or such to make an old style 10" offset flange work with a newer 12" toilet..... seems he's replacing his old toilet, and the new one won't fit. Can't get a 10" without having to order it in, and he really want's the newer type anyway. I've searched for such an animal ( the adapter) to no avail. Anybody???

It sticks in my mind that the Toto unifit system has a 10" piece.

The Toto toilets are a bit different. The toilet itself is the same, regardless of your offset. You get a piece for in the bottom for whatever dimension your offset is.

Thanks MD....i'll look into that. Don't know if he'll like the idea of the toto though...they are a low little thing from what i've seen....and they have that tiny little tank, an absolute 2 flusher.

No, sir. No, indeed. They are among the absolute top of the line. No two-flushing with a Toto. The seat is the same height as any toilet.

md is right on.

Toto makes a great product. Have used the unifit toilets several times without problems.

Can't say if you'll find it anywhere on the shelf, though...

You are correct sir....just looked over their site. The only experience i have with them are the couple i just installed for a client a week ago.... they were the little one piece style. I'll be checking the supply house tomorrow to see if they have anything in a newer syle in 10"........but i have a feeling he'll be waiting on an order..

I doubt it, most high rises use 10" rough.

You can get offset closet flanges also, but I would not recommend them.

I'm hopeful to find one for him, a little more sylish than what he has ( some ancient old Briggs i believe) and as far as the offset flange, that would require some demo right....this is concrete slab, and he just had the whole bath re-tiled and all, so i don't think he'd be happy about tearing anything up. Just wish he had called me before the remodel....

Thought i'd update ya's on where this all ended up. The guy ended up getting one of these..http://www.niagaraflapperless.ca/toilets.htm.. really a pretty cool deal. Not sure about it for myself, doesn't have that real powerful type flush that i like, but seems to work pretty good. Thanks for helping out guy's!!

Some brands offset through the tank (I know eljer does offset through the tank.) Mansfield offset through the bowl. I was told by a supplier that Toto Drake model only comes in a 12" R/I and has higher rim I believe 18"? . Other than that Idon't know what Toto has to offer in 10" I think they have a great product only installed them in 3 different homes and haven't had any complaints from my customers. I usually install Mansfield, Kohler, and Eljer
