I would suggest that collette please measure the toilet rough in again based on the drain center.
Toilet rough in size 11.
If you measure a few times and come up with 10 or 14 inches you will need to replace with the proper size toilet.
10 and 14 are also possible and you ll have a smaller selection of toilets that fit those sizes.
Toilets are typically offered in either 10 inch 12 inch or 14 inch rough ins.
This is because the tank usually extends the farthest back of any part of the toilet and it is nowhere near the baseboard.
A toilet s rough in refers to the measurement dimension from the finished wall to the center of mounting holes on the floor flange.
If your measurement comes out to 11 5 or 12 5 then don t worry it s likely a 12 rough in.
Since there is no 11 size to my knowledge it may just be that collette has a 12 standard rough in toilet but measured 11 from the back of the drain to the wall or from the center of the drain to the baseboard.
The 12 inch rough in is by far the most common in the us.
Never measure from the molding baseboard to the flange only against the wall.
Follow these step by step instructions for measuring the toilet rough in.
Do not measure to the baseboard molding but to the wall.
The most common distance is 12 inches so most toilets have a 12 inch rough what is the toilet rough in standard measurement or size.
I d say 80 of toilets have a 12 rough in so don t be surprised if you do as well.
Regarding fitting 11 inch rough in it s spec sheet here shows a clearance of 1 3 8 at the base and 3 4 at the top between the toilet and wall.
The standard toilet rough in distance is 212 inches but in the older homes and older toilets and even corner toilets you can find toilets with rough in distances of 10 inches to even 14 inches.
