Toilet rough in disadvantages
So, after putting ceramic tile in I went to reinstall the toilet. Of course, I dropped it and it broke. I measured the rough in at 14" and went to Lowes. They said all they had is 12" and would have to order 14". So, I went to Home Depot. They said I could install a 12", but the tank would be a couple of inches from the wall which could cause the bolts to break the tank when someone leans back on it. The local plumbing supply told me something similar.
So, I paid the sucker fee of an extra $50 from the local plumbing supply for the in stock 14". I decided not to install tonight. I may return it in the am and go buy the 12" for $50 less from Lowes or home depot.
I'm curious how everyone has approached this. 12" because it's cheaper and works? Any disadvantages? Or, get the 14"?
