Unconventional Rough In for Toilet Replacement
Hello,
Need to replace a toilet in our 22 year old house. I measured the rough in distance several times, from the wall (not the baseboard) to the center of the caps. Come up with 13 inches each time. Will I still be able to use a toilet optimized for a 12 inch rough in without modifying the pipes?
Thanks.

Hi All,
Thanks for the replies. Yes, I meant the flange.
So, XSleeper and Pilot Dane, you're saying a toilet designed for a 12 inch Rough In will work fine, just needs to be placed an inch further out to properly cover the flange? That would be great.
Pilot Dane, you mention a 1 inch gap between the tank and the wall. I assume that is for a toilet with the tank and bowl attached as a single unit? We're still working out which model we want. I had assumed we would get a set where the tank and bowl are separate. Would that make any difference?
