How to Install an Offset Toilet Flange

[ptradmin]

I ran into a situation where someone had installed a toilet with a 15-inch offset from the finished rear wall of a bathroom. The typical offset is 12-inches for most residential toilets. As a result, there was a full 4-inches behind the toilet, making it look like it was trying to participate in the activities of the bathroom rather than sit quietly until needed. While this would seem to be a hopeless situation - I mean who wants to completely remove and cut out a new toilet drain hole? - there is a way to make it right. Shop at your local home improvement store or neighborhood hardware store and you'll find a device called a toilet offset flange. This product is designed to give you approximately 2-inches of extra distance in any direction from the existing toilet sewage pipe.
